The Trade Minister stated that the export performance of Indonesian products at the Indonesia Trade Expo (TEI) has increased significantly. Since its first launch 10 years ago, the export value achieved through TEI has reached USD 30.5 billion or IDR 476 trillion by 2023. In 2014, or 10 years ago, at the first TEI at JIExpo Kemayoran, the government achieved a transaction value of up to USD 1.42 billion. Ten years later, in 2023, Indonesia's total export transactions reached USD 30.5 billion. The opening of TEI was deliberately brought forward; the event is usually held at the end of October, but it was moved earlier to October 9-12 with mutual agreement so that President Jokowi would have the opportunity to deliver his final welcome address before the audience.
He stated that this achievement is attributed to the hard work of all stakeholders, especially the support of President Jokowi. TEI has made significant progress in contributing to Indonesia's advanced economic growth. This year, through three exhibition zones—first, food, beverages, and agriculture; second, lifestyle and services—the event is more targeted and comprehensive in enhancing the image of Indonesian products, becoming more innovative and specific. This year is also special because it is collaborating with the Ministry of Religious Affairs to showcase a halal pavilion, as reports from trade commissioners indicate that Thailand is currently aggressively promoting this.
