Encouraging Exports of Agricultural and Forestry Products, Policy Relaxation Enacted
Exports of various types of non-oil and gas products, including agricultural and forestry products, which are Indonesia’s main export products after mineral fuels, fats and oils, iron and steel, metal ores, and footwear are currently being boosted by the government.
As sourced from the Ministry of Trade, Jerry Sambuaga as Deputy Minister of Trade, mentioned this during his working visit to CV Sono Putro, Klaten, Central Java. In order to boost export performance, the Ministry of Trade has taken several strategic steps, including providing policy relaxation for this type of product.
The Vice Minister of Trade emphasized the importance of efforts to increase exports, especially of agricultural and forestry products, by relevant stakeholders. Thus, policy relaxation will be applied as a solution.
“In the future, efforts to increase exports, especially for agricultural and forestry products, need to be carried out in a sustainable manner by relevant stakeholders, bearing in mind that the characteristics of Indonesian agricultural and forestry products receive special attention from the international market,” concluded the Vice Minister of Trade.
