Indonesia: Altered import and export restrictions for agricultural products

Announcement

28 Jan 2016

In January 2016, the government of Indonesia announced an alteration to its export prohibitions. The regulation 05/2016 came into force on the day of its announcement.
On 16 August 2016, the Ministry of Trade published regulation 59/M-DAG/PER/8/2016 scrapping the above-mentioned regulation on the very same day. In the preamble, the Ministry argued this was necessary to "improve the effectiveness of the export and import policy" (own translation). Hence, this measure is no longer classified as implemented.

The regulation 59/2016 was later amended by regulation 13/2017, however, without any substantial changes.
