        "summary": "Indonesia is negotiating government-to-government fertilizer export deals with India, Bangladesh, and other Asian nations after securing a supply agreement with Australia. State-owned Pupuk Indonesia says domestic production now exceeds farmer demand, allowing surplus urea to be allocated for export under a presidential directive to support regional supply chains. The strategy includes timing shipments to match the planting seasons of destination countries.",
        "content": "<p>Pupuk Indonesia President Director Rahmad Pribadi noted that trade\ndiscussions are ongoing as Indonesia supplies fertilizer to Australia\nunder a government-to-government (G-to-G) cooperation agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have begun trade with Australia and are now in talks with other\ncountries, including Bangladesh, India, and several others in Asia,\u201d he\nremarked after a ceremony welcoming the arrival of 47,250 tonnes of\nIndonesian fertilizer at the Port of Brisbane, Australia, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Pribadi explained that the negotiations follow the government\u2019s\ndecision to allocate excess domestic fertilizer output to exports,\nsignaling a strong trend in production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true that our production capacity now exceeds the needs of\nfarmers,\u201d he said, noting that the fertilizer industry is being designed\nto accommodate exports.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, he assured the public that President Prabowo Subianto had\nissued a directive to first ensure adequate supplies for domestic\nfarmers.<\/p>\n<p>With domestic demand fulfilled, he continued, Indonesia sees a\nresponsibility to leverage its surplus production to help strengthen\nregional supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr.\u00a0President\u2019s second directive is not to leave partner countries\nreeling from fertilizer shortages once Indonesia has filled its\nwarehouses with sufficient stocks,\u201d Pribadi stated.<\/p>\n<p>He then highlighted potential export plans tailored to the planting\nseason of each destination country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now supplying fertilizer to Australia because it is currently\nin a planting season. Going forward, we could shift to South Asian\ncountries once their planting seasons have arrived,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the trade with Australia, he noted that both governments had\nagreed on a deal for 250,000 tonnes of fertilizer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAustralia has been the primary market for Indonesia\u2019s urea from time\nto time. This shipment, however, is special because it is arranged under\na G-to-G agreement and a long-term contract providing certainty amid\nmarket volatility,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia\u2019s first 47,250-tonne urea shipment reaches\nAustralia<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia maintains fertilizer supply amid global\nturmoil: envoy<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Four countries ask for Indonesia\u2019s urea, over 750,000\ntons sought<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Indra Arief, Tegar Nurfitra<\/p>",
