Speaking during a working visit to a coffee nursery in Aceh on\nTuesday (July 14), Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman stated that\nthe policy directly reflects the directives of President Prabowo\nSubianto.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing forward, our exports will be one-stop. Why one-stop? So that\nwe can be the ones determining prices. Not the consumers, but\nproducers\u2014which is Indonesia,\u201d Amran said.<\/p>\n
Through this centralized mechanism, Indonesia is projected to\ntransition into a global price-setter for key export commodities.<\/p>\n
The minister explained that this shift would ensure that the added\nvalue of national resources directly benefits the local farmers while\nsignificantly boosting the country\u2019s foreign exchange reserves.<\/p>\n
Currently, the pricing of several major Indonesian commodities\nremains heavily dependent on foreign buyer markets, which limits\npotential profits for both local farmers and the state.<\/p>\n
Amran Sulaiman pointed out that crude palm oil (CPO), for instance,\nhas previously been priced at approximately Rp15,000 (approximately\n0.94) per kilogram domestically, while the global market price hovered\naround Rp27,000 (US$1.69) per kilogram.<\/p>\n
He noted that if domestic CPO prices could be lifted to Rp20,000\n(US$1.25) per kilogram\u2014closer to international rates\u2014farmers\u2019 incomes\nwould see a substantial increase.<\/p>\n
The centralized export policy, managed through state-owned enterprise\nPT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), also aims to eliminate the\nrampant practice of under-invoicing.<\/p>\n
Under-invoicing, where exporters intentionally report lower\ntransaction values domestically than the actual sale price abroad, has\nlong depleted potential state revenue.<\/p>\n
To illustrate the stark pricing disparities, Minister Amran pointed\nto the CPO sector, where domestic buying prices languish between\nRp14,000 and Rp15,000 (US$0.88 to US0.94)p<\/em>e<\/em>r<\/em>k<\/em>i<\/em>l<\/em>o<\/em>g<\/em>r<\/em>a<\/em>m<\/em>,\u2006e<\/em>v<\/em>e<\/em>n<\/em>a<\/em>s<\/em>t<\/em>h<\/em>e<\/em>g<\/em>l<\/em>o<\/em>b<\/em>a<\/em>l<\/em>r<\/em>e<\/em>s<\/em>a<\/em>l<\/em>e<\/em>p<\/em>r<\/em>i<\/em>c<\/em>e<\/em>c<\/em>l<\/em>i<\/em>m<\/em>b<\/em>s<\/em>u<\/em>p<\/em>w<\/em>a<\/em>r<\/em>d<\/em>o<\/em>f<\/em>R<\/em>p<\/em>27,\u2006000(U<\/em>S<\/em><\/span>\n1.69) per kilogram on the international market.<\/p>\n \u201cUnder-invoicing means this is not taxable in Indonesia. The state\nhas lost an estimated Rp16,000 trillion over 34 years because of this,\u201d\nAmran revealed.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, we are fighting to correct this,\u201d he added, acknowledging that\nthe reform has faced resistance from affected parties.<\/p>\n Under Government Regulation No.\u00a024 of 2026 concerning the Governance\nof Exports of Indonesia\u2019s Strategic Natural Resource Commodities, the\none-stop export policy took effect on June 1, 2026, and is targeted to\nbe fully operational by January 1, 2027.<\/p>\n To execute the mandate, state financial institution Danantara\nestablished PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) as the dedicated\nstate-owned enterprise for exports.<\/p>\n The initial phase of the centralized policy will focus on three key\nstrategic commodities: coal, crude palm oil, and ferroalloys.<\/p>\n Related news: Indonesian govt says shipping sector backs one-stop\nexport policy<\/p>\n Related news: Danantara Sumber Indonesia won\u2019t profit from CPO export\npolicy: Gov\u2019t<\/p>\n Translator: Muhammad Harianto, Yashinta Difa<\/p>",
