The Ministry of Industry has accelerated efforts to boost the domestic food and beverage (F&B) industry, which continues to attract robust investor interest and deliver strong export performance.
Vice Minister of Industry Faisol Riza said in a written statement on Friday, July 4, 2025, that total investment in the sector reached Rp 22.63 trillion ($1.38 billion) from January to March 2025.
“This level of investment reflects growing investor confidence in the potential of Indonesia’s food and beverage industry,” said Faisol.
Trade Surplus and Export Strength
The F&B sector also helped sustain a positive trade balance, recording an export value of $11.78 billion and a trade surplus of $8.67 billion over January–February 2025. Faisol, a politician from the National Awakening Party (PKB), highlighted Indonesia’s comparative advantage in the industry, citing its rich biodiversity and capacity to produce high-value, export-oriented goods.
“Our natural resources are being transformed into high-value-added products with strong export potential,” he said.
Among the standout performers in the F&B sector is Indonesia’s cocoa processing industry. In 2024, the country ranked as the world’s fourth-largest exporter of processed cocoa products, with total export value exceeding $2.4 billion and export volume reaching 304,000 tons.
