According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia exported coffee worth a total of US$1.62 billion throughout 2024.
The United States (US) was the largest market, with a value of US$307 million, approximately 19% of total national coffee exports.
Other countries classified as major markets include Egypt, Malaysia, Belgium, Russia, Japan, Germany, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines, with export values as shown in the graph.
Indonesia's coffee export performance is at risk of being disrupted this year, due to the US, as the largest market, implementing trade barriers.
In April 2025, US President Donald Trump implemented a new policy, resulting in Indonesian products exported to the US being subject to a 32% import tariff.
Initially, this tariff was to take effect starting Wednesday (April 9, 2025). However, on Thursday (April 10, 2025), Trump postponed its implementation and applied a basic tariff of 10% for the next 90 days.
According to Andala Rama Putra, an academic at Bandar Lampung University, this policy could have a negative impact on coffee-exporting regions, including Lampung.
"High import tariffs make Indonesian products more expensive in the US market, so US consumers and importers may switch to other countries or even US consumers may use their own domestic products, as desired by President Trump," said Andala, as reported by Detik.com, Thursday (April 10, 2025).
"The potential negative impact on Lampung Province is that commodities such as coffee, rubber, palm oil, cassava, and even bananas, which are Lampung's mainstays, will certainly be affected. If US tariffs increase, these products and their derivatives may become less competitive in the American market," he continued.
