The governments of Indonesia and Belarus have reached an agreement to deepen strategic cooperation in agriculture. As part of the deal, Indonesia will supply crude palm oil (CPO) and cocoa to Belarus, while Belarus expressed readiness to build a fertilizer factory. This agreement reflects both countries’ interest to take advantage of mutual strengths: Indonesia’s capacity in key agricultural commodities, and Belarus’s expertise in fertilizer and agricultural inputs.
Belarus — known for its strong position in potash and fertilizer production — can contribute to Indonesia’s efforts to secure inputs vital for its agriculture, especially considering Indonesia’s large demand for potash fertilizers to support plantation and crop productivity. Meanwhile, Indonesia sees Belarus not only as a buyer, but also as a potential industrial partner to invest in processing and fertilizer-related infrastructure. The cooperation is part of a broader push to expand Indonesia’s export markets and strengthen food-security supply chains through foreign collaboration.
