Indonesia-Japan trade expansion

Overview

In July 2026 Indonesia announced plans to target the Japanese market with East Java mango exports, signalling a broader push to deepen agricultural trade with Japan. A few weeks later, in early August, the Indonesian government detailed a concrete step in that direction: an amendment to the Indonesia‑Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) that removed tariffs on processed tuna and skipjack products. The new zero‑percent duty, covering several HS codes, was set to take effect on 1 August 2026 and initially benefitted eleven Indonesian fish‑processing firms. The policy announcement highlighted the growing value of Indonesia’s fishery exports to Japan and underscored the need for sustainable supply‑chain practices. Together, the snapshots illustrate Indonesia’s expanding export strategy toward Japan, moving from market‑targeting intentions to the implementation of preferential trade terms for specific commodities.
