Indonesia export expansion efforts

Overview

In late July 2026 Indonesia’s trade ministry highlighted the country’s push to grow its cocoa and chocolate exports. Leveraging a network of 25 ratified free‑trade agreements and pending deals—including a forthcoming EU‑Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership—officials said tariff reductions would open premium markets, especially in the United States and the European Union, positioning Indonesia as a major cocoa supplier.

A week later, in early August 2026, Indonesia’s Trade Promotion Center in Santiago reported a targeted business‑matching programme with Chilean buyers. The initiative identified about US$104,000 in potential orders for palm‑oil derivatives, coffee and adult diapers, reflecting a broader strategy to diversify export markets and support firms in evaluating product quality and supply capacity. Together, the snapshots illustrate Indonesia’s dual approach of securing high‑level trade agreements for key commodities while pursuing concrete matchmaking activities to expand trade with individual partners.
