        "summary": "Indonesia's Transmigration Minister, Muhammad Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara, announced that China is prepared to act as an off-taker for Indonesian durian, addressing marketing challenges in transmigration areas following productivity gains. The cooperation will initially focus on frozen durian exports, with plans to expand to fresh durian, which is highly sought after in China, alongside discussions on coconut supplies to meet the market's substantial demand. This partnership highlights Indonesia's vast durian production potential, particularly in regions like Parigi Moutong in Central Sulawesi, and could significantly boost agricultural exports and support local employment.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Transmigration Minister Muhammad Iftitah Sulaiman\nSuryanagara stated that the Chinese government is ready to become an\noff-taker or buyer of production outputs for Indonesian durian\ncommodities.<\/p>\n<p>Following a meeting with China\u2019s Ambassador to Indonesia, Wang\nLutong, in Jakarta on Monday, he conveyed that this step is seen as a\nsolution to the marketing challenges arising from increased productivity\nin transmigration areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe perennial issue in transmigration is that when we boost\nproductivity, the question arises: who is the off-taker? Therefore, the\nChinese government is offering itself as an off-taker, one of which is\nfor durian consumers,\u201d said Iftitah.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that this cooperation will begin with the export of\nfrozen durian before being developed into the export of fresh durian,\nwhich is more favoured by the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p>According to Iftitah, Indonesia\u2019s national durian production\npotential is very large, including from transmigration areas in Parigi\nMoutong, Central Sulawesi, which is known as one of the largest durian\norchards in Indonesia and even the world.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he mentioned that besides durian, coconuts are also a\nfocus of the cooperation discussed, given the huge demand from the\nChinese market for both commodities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, he also discussed coconut consumers. For durian, the\nannual demand is around Rp120 trillion, while for coconuts, it\u2019s about\nRp110 trillion per year. 4 billion coconuts, while China can only meet 1\nbillion nuts\u2019 worth of demand. So there\u2019s still a gap of about 3 billion\ncoconuts,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia, in this case the Ministry of Transmigration, also has\ngreat potential because we have land and labour that can help,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, we will strive for fresh durian, which is also what\nthe Chinese people expect. They want fresh durians.<\/p>",
