Indonesia's agricultural trade shows a good balance with Southeast Asia, but strong specialisation in imports or exports from and to other regions. Indonesia's agricultural exports reached about USD 46.9 billion versus USD 31.6 billion of imports in 2024. Its trade is rather 'balanced' trade with Southeast Asia, while Indonesia exports a lot to East and South Asia (mostly palm oil and derived products), which contrast with a lot of imports from Australia-New Zealand and from Latin America. In overall, Indonesia shows an estimated agricultural trade surplus of about USD 15.3 billion. Exports are dominated by palm oil (USD 16.7 billion), industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and acid oils (USD 5.6 billion), and natural rubber (USD 3.0 billion). Imports are led by rice (paddy equivalent + milled rice: USD 5.1 billion), wheat (USD 3.6 billion), and raw cane/beet sugar (USD 2.9 billion). In details, two sub-regions stand out as quite 'balanced' in 2024 (difference within +/-5% of total bilateral trade): (i) South-eastern Asia, with both exports and imports of about USD 7.4 billion each (net balance: -13.3 million; -0.09%), and (ii) Sub-Saharan Africa, with both exports and imports of USD 0.9 billion each (net balance: -84.3 million; -4.66%). Within South-eastern Asia, Indonesia's main export destinations include Malaysia (USD 2.9 billion) and the Philippines (USD 1.8 billion), while key import origins include Thailand (USD 3.0 billion) and Viet Nam (USD 2.0 million). Other sub-regions are more specialised. Indonesia's largest exports specialisations are to Eastern Asia (exports USD 13,3 billion vs imports USD 3,8 billion; surplus USD 9,5 billion) and to Southern Asia (surplus USD 6,7 billion). Conversely, the strongest import specialisations are from Latin America and the Caribbean (USD 5,1 billion) and from Australia and New Zealand (USD 3,1 billion). These patterns reflect Indonesia's export specialization in palm-oil and rubber-based products, and import specialisatio
