This included USD 30.2 million from 14 Memorandums of Understanding signed between Indonesian spice producers and importers from the Netherlands, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Trade cooperation with Cameroon and Central African nations also saw a significant surge, with potential business agreements reaching USD 60 million, a threefold increase from the previous year. This growth involved 81 delegates and 19 business agreements. Notably, PT Asindotech secured major contracts, including a USD 15 million project for tapioca and biogas processing plants in Cameroon, a USD 10 million project in the Central African Republic, and a USD 8 million sand mining project in Cameroon.
