The Indonesian government is pushing a single-window export policy to boost competitiveness in global commodity trade including palm oil and mining.
Deputy for Coordination of State-Owned Enterprise Management and Development at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs Ferry Irawan described the policy as a strategic step.
"Strengthening export governance is part of efforts to create a more efficient, transparent trading system that provides greater added value to the national economy," Ferry said in his statement on Thursday, June 25, 2026.
Executive Director of the Palm Oil Agribusiness Strategic Policy Institute Tungkot Sipayung highlighted that although Indonesia is the world's largest palm oil producer, prices remain influenced by foreign exchanges. He said better export consolidation could increase Indonesia's influence.
Director of Economy at the Center of Economic and Law Studies Nailul Huda and Chairman of the Indonesian Nickel Industry Forum Arif Perdana Kusumah cautioned that the policy must be designed carefully to maintain investment and support downstreaming.
