Banyuwangi Regency in East Java recorded a positive performance in international trade in 2025, with the value of exported local products reaching approximately IDR 3.9 trillion (around USD 232 million). This figure reflects an 18.33 % increase compared to 2024 export figures, which stood at around IDR 3.3 trillion. According to Banyuwangi’s Regent Ipuk Fiestiandani, the region’s homegrown products have successfully entered markets in about 80 countries across continents, including Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Australia. The diverse range of exported goods comprises 27 leading commodities, such as ornamental fish, pumice stone, coral, canned fish, spice products, agricultural produce, craft items, and fresh fruits.
Officials noted that fishery products, especially canned fish, remain the biggest contributors to export value, with companies like Pacific Harvest in Muncar playing a key role. Shipments are carried out under contractual agreements with overseas buyers, sometimes involving tens of tons of goods per shipment and, in exceptional cases, up to 40 containers in a day. The Banyuwangi government is planning further efforts to boost both the volume and value of exports by strengthening the industrial ecosystem, expanding market access, and enhancing the competitiveness of local products. These initiatives are also seen as opportunities to attract investment from larger companies, supported by available raw materials, infrastructure, and an increasingly conducive business climate.
