The Indonesian government plans to ban the export of tin ingots this year.

According to Ridwan Djamaluddin, Director General of Minerals and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), his office is still preparing a number of documents for consideration in policy making.

"Frankly, we are preparing materials for the Minister of ESDM, (to) convey information and data on what is happening with tin in Indonesia. So that later when a decision is made, the best conditions will prevail," said Ridwan in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) on Tuesday (21/6/2022).

According to data from the Ministry of ESDM, in 2018 national tin production reached 83,000 tons with exports reaching 83,020 tons.

However, in subsequent years, these figures continued to decline, as shown in the graph, until production plummeted to 34,610 tons and exports to 28,250 tons in 2021.

Then, national tin production during January-May 2022 only reached 9,654.73 tons, far from this year's production target of 70,000 tons.

In recent years, at least 98% of Indonesia's tin production has been destined for export markets. This has made Indonesia the world's largest tin exporter.

The plan to ban the export of tin ingots this year is intended to encourage greater investment in tin downstreaming. With the development of downstreaming, tin products that are usually exported are expected to be processed domestically.

"If the export of ingots is truly banned, then we must prepare the processing industry on a massive scale," said Ridwan.
