The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) noted that the cumulative value of Indonesia’s exports in the January-December 2024 period reached USD264.70 billion or increased by 2.29 percent compared to the same period in 2023, while cumulative non-oil and gas exports reached USD248.83 billion or increased by 2.46 percent.
During January-December 2024, Indonesia’s non-oil and gas exports according to the manufacturing industry sector increased by 5.33 percent compared to January-December 2023, contributed by an increase in precious metal exports. Exports of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products increased by 29.81 percent due to an increase in coffee exports, while exports of mining and other products fell by 10.20 percent, contributed by a decrease in coal exports.
Founder & CEO of Supply Chain Indonesia (SCI), Setijadi, said that increasing exports of agricultural, forestry and fisheries product groups needs to be a driver for further export increases considering that Indonesia has many types of products/commodities in that group.
Considering that some types of products/commodities in the group are perishable, an end-to-end cold chain implementation is needed. For storage, in addition to cold storage, several special technologies are also needed, such as controlled atmosphere storage (CAS).
Setijadi also highlighted the need for packaging and packing technology that affects the condition of products/commodities, as well as the consolidation process to improve the efficiency and economy of scale of the product/commodity transportation and storage process due to the relatively small production capacity of each business actor and the spread of their regions.
