Indonesia’s export value in April 2026 reached approximately US$25.3 billion, an increase of 12.32 percent compared to the previous month and a growth of 21.98 percent compared to the same period last year.
This increase was primarily driven by non-oil and gas exports, which grew by 13.66 percent, while oil and gas exports declined.
The coffee, tea, and spices commodity group was the sector with the highest growth, at 54.44 percent compared to the previous period.
Meanwhile, tobacco and cigarettes recorded growth of 43.49 percent and were one of the main contributors to the increase in national exports.
Wood products, animal and vegetable oils and fats, as well as machinery and mechanical equipment also showed positive performance with significant growth.
In terms of destination markets, the increase in exports was supported by higher demand from a number of trading partner countries, particularly the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Belgium.
Cumulatively from January to April 2026, Indonesia’s total exports reached US$92.15 billion, an increase of 5.48 percent compared to the same period the previous year.
This growth was driven by the non-oil and gas sector, which continued to expand despite a contraction in oil and gas exports.
The Minister of Trade also highlighted the contribution of the manufacturing sector, which has been supported by rising exports of value-added commodities such as nickel, aluminum, organic chemicals, copper, and tin.
High global demand and rising international prices were factors that contributed to the increase in exports of these various commodities.
Overall, this achievement demonstrates that Indonesia’s trade sector remains capable of maintaining its growth momentum and competitiveness in the international market amid global economic dynamics.
