The Minister of Agriculture recently introduced the export potential of Indonesia's coconut industry and plans for industrial chain extension. Indonesia's coconut plantation area reaches 2.8 million hectares. If the industrial chain is extended, exports are expected to exceed 400 trillion rupiah, with main target markets being China and India. Not limited to coconuts, cash crops such as coffee, cocoa, nutmeg, and mint can also increase export value through industrial chain extension, with an estimated overall contribution of 2,600 trillion rupiah.
The plan is expected to create 1.6 million jobs within 3 years, increase farmers' income, and help strengthen the national economy. Implementation requires the involvement of the Indonesian military, leveraging its execution capability to ensure the plan is realized, prevent resource loss, achieve agricultural self-sufficiency, and reduce imports.
As an agricultural country, Indonesia has the advantage of a year-round tropical climate, aligning with the President's strategic direction for industrial chain extension, with the goal of becoming a major exporter of agricultural products and cash crops.
