June 2026 Exports Reach US$25.46 Billion, BPS Reveals Driving Commodities

Ateng Hartono, Deputy for Distribution and Services Statistics at BPS, reported that the total value of exports in June 2026 reached US$25.46 billion, an increase of 8.84 per cent year-on-year (yoy).

He detailed that oil and gas exports stood at US$1.07 billion, down 3.78 per cent, whilst non-oil and gas exports amounted to US$24.39 billion, up 9.46 per cent (yoy).

“The commodities driving June 2026 exports came from the non-oil and gas group, chiefly mineral fuels, which rose 49.67 per cent,” Ateng said at a press conference at the BPS office in Jakarta on Wednesday, 3 August 2026.

“Meanwhile, nickel exports rose 69.30 per cent, and animal and vegetable oils and fats rose 10.45 per cent,” he said.

By sector, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries recorded exports worth US$0.49 billion, the mining sector US$3.03 billion, and the manufacturing sector US$20.88 billion.

Ateng explained that agricultural sector exports fell 11.36 per cent (yoy), caused by a slump in exports of a number of commodities such as coffee, fruits, medicinal plants, aromatic spices, and cloves.

On a cumulative basis, from January to June 2026, Ateng reported that Indonesia’s exports stood at US$140.81 billion, up 4.13 per cent (yoy).

“Non-oil and gas exports were recorded at US$134.58 billion, up 4.90 per cent (yoy),” he said.

It is worth noting that Ateng previously reported that Indonesia’s trade balance in June 2026 recorded a deficit of US$450 million, owing to imports exceeding national exports.

Imports in June 2026 reached US$25.91 billion, up 34.27 per cent year-on-year (yoy), compared with exports of US$25.46 billion, which rose only 8.84 per cent (yoy).

“The goods trade balance in June 2026 recorded a deficit of US$0.45 billion (US$450 million),” Ateng said.

He explained that oil and gas exports were valued at US$1.07 billion, down 3.78 per cent, in contrast to non-oil and gas exports, which rose 9.46 per cent to US$24.39 billion in June 2026.

The increase in export value in June 2026 was mainly driven by non-oil and gas exports of several commodities, including mineral fuels (HS27), up 49.67 per cent; nickel and articles thereof (HS75), up 69.30 per cent; and animal and vegetable oils and fats (HS15), up 10.45 per cent.
