A picture of President Jokowi wearing a sarung while camping in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) on Monday night (March 14th) has gone viral.

This is not the first time. In recent years, Jokowi has frequently appeared in public wearing a sarung, whether at New Year's Eve celebrations, Maulid commemorations, or state events.

In 2019, President Jokowi also encouraged people to wear a sarung once a month, designating March 3rd as National Sarung Day.

Indonesia's Sarung Exports Top the Globe

Beyond fashion politics, National Sarung Day and the "sarung trend" promoted by Jokowi also signify support for the domestic textile industry.

According to global import-export data company Volza, in October 2021, Indonesia recorded the highest number of sarung exports globally, with 10,891 shipments. However, this figure doesn't reflect the export volume and value.

Volza also notes that in October 2021, Indonesian sarungs were most frequently shipped to Singapore, the United States, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong, France, Spain, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, and Italy.

Top 10 Sarung Exporting Countries by Number of Shipments in October 2021:

* Indonesia: 10,891
* India: 9,445
* Italy: 244
* China: 226
* France: 140
* Singapore: 81
* Malaysia: 60
* Thailand: 55
* South Korea: 38

According to Volza data, Indonesia also has the second-largest number of sarung factories globally, with 342 factories. In this regard, Indonesia lags behind India, which had 919 sarung factories in October 2021.
