Single-Door Export via DSI to Adhere to Existing Contracts
The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Danantara, Dony Oskaria, stated that the implementation of commodity exports through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) will continue to refer to the contracts already agreed upon by the company with overseas buyers. This scheme will remain in effect until 31 December 2026, before management is fully taken over by PT DSI in January 2027.
“Therefore, for all entrepreneurs and the Indonesian people, there is no need for concern as all contracts will proceed normally. We are merely ensuring stability until we establish a more effective pattern after 31 December 2026,” Dony said during a press conference at the parliament building in Jakarta on Monday, 8 June 2026.
Dony explained that from June until 31 December 2026, PT DSI will operate as the sole intermediary for the export of natural resource commodities. This scheme has been regulated under government regulations. According to him, one of PT DSI’s primary duties is to ensure that no under-invoicing or transfer pricing practices occur within Indonesia’s natural resource export activities.
Dony noted that all export contracts currently held by the company will continue as usual, provided no practices detrimental to the state are discovered. Furthermore, he ensured that the import scheme via PT DSI will be conducted transparently and subject to periodic oversight.
To support this supervision, Danantara is developing a digital system aimed at ensuring all natural resource export transactions are conducted fairly and transparently. “We are building a digitalisation system to ensure that all our natural resource transactions are carried out in a fair and transparent manner,” said Dony.
Previously, the government restructured the governance of strategic natural resource commodity exports through a Government Regulation (PP) that came into effect on 1 June 2026. This regulation mandates that export rights for these commodities are reserved exclusively for State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
In its implementation, the government has appointed PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia as the sole SOE exporter. With this new model, the government claims it can secure revenues of US$150 billion, or approximately Rp 2,654 trillion.
The government has limited this single-door policy to three strategic non-oil and gas commodities that account for nearly 60 per cent of total national exports. The upstream oil and gas sector is excluded from this new regulation.
The three commodities included in the single-door export scheme are crude palm oil and its derivatives from the plantation sector; coal; and ferroalloys, including ferronickel, from the metal mineral sector.
