Indonesia secures $104,000 export potential to Chile through business matching

Indonesia's Ministry of Trade, via the Indonesia Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) in Santiago, organised three online business‑matching sessions from 23 to 30 June 2026 with Chilean buyers. The programme identified potential export orders worth US$104,000, comprising US$46,000 of palm‑oil derivatives, US$28,000 of coffee and US$30,000 of adult diapers. Director General of National Export Development Fajarini Puntodewi said the matching helps Indonesian firms evaluate product quality, price and supply capacity before scaling purchases.

Trade data show total Indonesia‑Chile trade reached US$226.2 million in January‑May 2026, up 1.02 % year‑on‑year, with Indonesian exports at US$179.1 million and imports at US$47.1 million.
