The Indonesian Ministry of Trade, through the Trade Attaché in Cairo, reported that Indonesia’s non-oil and gas exports to Egypt reached USD 1.52 billion in 2024, marking a 16.36% increase from the previous year. This achievement surpassed the government's target of USD 1.37 billion and set a new record for the past three years. Indonesia’s total trade with Egypt reached USD 1.73 billion in 2024, growing by 14.61% from 2023. Meanwhile, imports from Egypt amounted to USD 207.8 million, reflecting a 3.18% increase. As a result, Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD 1.31 billion with Egypt, continuing a decade-long surplus trend.  

The sustained trade surplus has strengthened Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves and opened opportunities for small and medium enterprises (UMKM) and manufacturers to expand into the Egyptian market. Key export products include palm oil, coffee beans, automobiles, wood, iron, coconut products, textiles, vegetable oil, electronics, and vehicle tires. Indonesia also imports essential raw materials from Egypt, such as phosphate fertilizer, dates, industrial potatoes, citrus, olive oil, and coriander seeds. According to economic officials in Cairo, Egypt's strategic location as a trade hub between Asia, Africa, and Europe makes it a vital non-traditional trading partner and investment destination for Indonesia.
