Govt Targets Indonesia’s Exports to Reach USD 315 Billion by 2026

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Deputy Trade Minister Dyah Roro Esti has set a target for Indonesia’s export value to reach USD 315 billion by 2026. The target aligns with national export growth projections of between 5.3 and 6.9 percent this year.

She said Indonesia’s exports in June 2026 reached USD 25.4 billion, an 8 percent increase compared with the same period in 2025.

“Certainly, the market segments here are diverse. Product‑based segmentation also varies, and naturally the food and beverage (F&B) sector is included in this,” Dyah Roro said at the Indonesia Food and Beverage (F&B) Trade Promotion Forum in Jakarta on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.

She noted that the F&B sector supports economic growth while strengthening the image of Indonesian products in global markets. The government is also working to connect businesses with potential buyers abroad through Indonesia’s network of trade representatives.

The Ministry currently operates Indonesian Trade Promotion Centers (ITPCs) in 33 countries. Businesses can use this network to obtain market information.

The ITPCs also help identify buyers suitable for Indonesian products. Dyah Roro said she hopes these efforts will improve competitiveness and expand the penetration of Indonesian products in global markets.

Earlier, Trade Minister Budi Santoso reaffirmed the government’s commitment to boosting Indonesia’s exports by expanding market access through international trade agreements. The Ministry encourages businesses in the manufacturing sector, including companies investing in Indonesia, to make optimal use of these agreements.

According to Minister Budi, businesses can secure more competitive tariffs in export destinations by leveraging trade agreements. He said Indonesia currently has 20 trade agreements in effect, 15 undergoing ratification, and 11 still under negotiation. (Gusti Panji)
