Highly demanded: products from Indonesia

YOUR EXPORT OPPORTUNITY

Many Europeans know Indonesia as an island paradise in the Pacific. Yet increasingly more companies are discovering Indonesian biodiversity and the high number of endemic plants which are of great interest in the European market. There is currently a particularly high demand for natural ingredients in the food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries:

  • Essential oils and extracts such as patchouli, eugenol, nutmeg 
  • Various coconut products like coconut oil, coconut sugar, coconut nectar syrup, coconut chips, coconut water, coconut powders and much more.

Fast-growing, light-weight woods derived from plantation agriculture also have a wide variety of applications in Europe: 

  • Jabon and Albasia wood panels are particularly popular with European importers thanks to the FLEGT license, as they do not have to perform the time-consuming due diligence required by the EUTR. This is an important competitive advantage of Indonesian timber products and boosts demand from European importers.

If you want to bring a variety of natural ingredients (gladly also in organic quality) to Europe or export your sustainable wood products, IPD will support you. 

YOUR ADVANTAGES

  • Targeted networking with European importers
  • Comprehensive preparation for the European market
  • Participation in European trade fairs, virtual b2b events etc.

Country report Indonesia

IPD engagement in Indonesia

Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands in Southeast Asia. The country offers high biodiversity and is rich in natural resources. This is an advantage for products such as natural ingredients for food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Furthermore, the timber industry is traditionally well developed. The island state has long been involved in international trade, but in the past, it was mainly raw materials which were exported.
