Minister of Agriculture or Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) targets exports of plantation products to increase to IDR 100 trillion in 2023 with Indonesian plantations that have entered the modern level and downstream processing and growing industries. "Here, we are not only talking about the expo. But, there is also a market both nationally and internationally. And, we hope that from what is there the target can be up to IDR 100 trillion for exports and others," said Minister Syahrul while attending Indonesian Plantations Expo (Bunex 2022) in Jakarta, Wednesday 21 December 2022. SYL said the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Agriculture already has two work programs that focus on developing Indonesian plantation products. The first is to strengthen downstream, and the second is to strengthen the role of both small and large scale industries. "Downstreaming must be stronger, for example our coconuts are not only sold for copra but also must be made into coconut milk and various other derivatives of the coconut. Second, we hope that tomorrow we will enter more into the bio-industry. So, plantation products can be used as fuel. oil that the world needs. I think this can also increase people's income," he said. However, SYL said that Bunex 2022 must be a collective reflection in measuring how far productivity has been achieved.
