        "summary": "Indonesia's non-oil exports surged in April 2026, led by sharp monthly increases in coffee, spices, tobacco and wood product shipments, with total exports hitting US$25.30 billion. Cumulative January-to-April exports reached US$92.15 billion, bolstered by strong manufacturing gains in nickel and aluminium, although agricultural exports suffered a marked decline. The figures underscore the resilience of the manufacturing sector and shifting global demand patterns for Indonesian commodities.",
