In November 2024, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province (Babel) recorded an export value of tin and non-tin commodities from the region amounting to USD 227.88 million, reflecting a 13.21% increase compared to the previous month, which was USD 201.28 million. According to the Head of BPS Babel, Toto Haryanto Silitonga, tin exports continue to dominate the region's exports to various countries. Specifically, tin exports in November 2024 amounted to USD 171.39 million, showing a slight increase of 0.46% compared to the previous month’s USD 170.62 million. Meanwhile, non-tin exports surged by 84.18%, reaching USD 56.48 million, a significant growth compared to the previous month.

When comparing the current figures to the same month last year, non-tin exports have increased by 94.50% year-on-year (YoY). Most of the tin exports from Babel are sent to Asian countries, with China being the largest destination. From January to November 2024, China received 29.96% of Babel's tin exports, valued at USD 357.45 million. Other key export destinations include India (22.02%), South Korea (14.67%), Singapore, and Japan, with these five countries collectively accounting for 83.70% of Babel’s total tin exports globally. However, when compared to the same period last year, there has been a contraction in exports to these top five destinations, with a 20.93% decrease, particularly marked by a 38.85% drop in exports to China and a 43.83% decline to Singapore.
