According to the latest data, commodities such as palm oil, rubber, coffee, cocoa, and nickel will once again become the backbone of Indonesian exports in 2025. Palm oil and its derivatives dominate volume, followed by nickel, which is currently enjoying a surge in global demand thanks to the transition to green energy. Coffee and cocoa also show healthy growth, as consumption increases in North America and Europe, while natural rubber gains a strong foothold from the automotive and footwear industries.

Despite its positive contribution to the trade balance, export dependence on primary commodities still presents challenges: volatile global commodity prices, the risk of over-dependence on certain markets, and the urgency of downstreaming to increase added value. The government is urged to accelerate the downstreaming process, expand market access through trade diplomacy, and maintain production quality and sustainability. These steps are considered crucial to maintain stable export performance and have a tangible impact on the national economy and the welfare of farmers and fishermen.
