Though a number of export-oriented industries in the country have increased their production capacities, Indonesia’s export volume is expected to reach pre-COVID-19 levels only by next year, says Anne Patricia Sutanto, Deputy Chairperson, Indonesian Textile Association (API). The average utilization of the export-oriented textile industry has reached 100 percent with a number of business actors even adding capacity.

Indonesia's garment exports did not experience price adjustments as a result of unresolved global logistics problems. Some exportersmade deliveries using a freight on board (FOB) scheme, aka container fees paid by the buyer, adds Sutanto.

Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows, Indonesia’s export volume of textile products with HS code 61 during January to August 2021 reached 160,854 tonne. Meanwhile, the export volume of textile products with HS code 62 from January to August 2021 reached 105,993 tonne. This volume is lower than the achievement in the same period in 2019 and 2020 which were 126,598 tonne and 111,163 tonne, respectively.
