MANADO, KOMPAS – Indonesia has a strong bargaining position to negotiate with countries that obstruct its crude palm oil (CPO) export as it has reciprocal trade relations with many of them. Apart from exporting CPO, for instance, Indonesia also imports aircraft and a number of products from European Union states.

The economic region obstructs Indonesia’s CPO export through its plan to stop using CPO products in 2021. Vice President Jusuf Kalla said trade relations could support Indonesia’s position at the negotiation table. “If they stop importing CPO from Indonesia, we can also stop importing Europe’s products, such as aircrafts,” Kalla said in Manado on Monday (19/3/2018).
