Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) recorded a solid economic growth of 5.44% year-on-year in Q2 2025, an improvement from the previous quarter’s 4.55%. The growth was driven by a strong performance in agriculture, forestry, and livestock—growing 7.08%—due to increased food crop and livestock production. This boost also elevated trade and exports, which surged by 12.90% and 39.89% respectively. Household consumption rose 3.255, supported by controlled inflation at 3.03%, helping maintain purchasing power.
Bank Indonesia’s NTT office emphasized that this progress stems from a dual strategy: human resource capacity building through Good Agricultural Practices and accelerated agricultural mechanization. Key support included machinery, tools, and superior seeds. These initiatives, covering rice, corn, coffee, salt, fisheries, and shallots, were further enhanced by export agreements and business matchmaking. Notably, a collaboration with East Java for moringa leaves reached over IDR 3 billion in transactions. Future plans aim to deepen partnerships, including with Timor Leste, and stimulate private investment.
