A trade agreement between Indonesia and the United States through the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) has opened wider export opportunities for Indonesian products. Under the scheme, around 1,819 Indonesian product tariff lines are granted zero import tariffs when entering the US market, potentially expanding market access for various national commodities and manufactured goods.

Economists emphasize that the opportunity will be most beneficial if domestic industries enhance productivity, product quality, and production efficiency to compete globally. Several sectors such as nickel, energy, petrochemicals, and crude palm oil are considered to have strong potential to benefit from the agreement. Strengthening industrial ecosystems, including financing access, logistics systems, and supply chains, is seen as key to maximizing export growth and improving Indonesia’s global competitiveness.
