The manufacturing sector dominated with a 96.28% share of total exports, followed by agriculture (3.55%), while mining and oil & gas contributed less than 1%. The top export destinations during this period were the United States, Thailand, China, Singapore, and Malaysia.
The United States was the leading market, importing USD 893.88 million worth of goods from Jakarta, up 47.37% year-on-year. Key commodities included footwear (USD 423.40 million), non-knitted clothing and accessories (USD 79.94 million), and other non-knitted apparel (USD 74.63 million). Exports to Thailand focused on precious metals and jewelry (USD 74.63 million), vehicles and parts, and mechanical machinery.
