Indonesia has sought duty benefits on export of its 309 products to Bangladesh under the proposed preferential trade agreement (PTA) between the two countries.

The South East Asian country has recently forwarded the list containing the names of the products, known as a request list, to the Bangladesh commerce ministry for consideration as per the decision of the second meeting of the trade negotiation committee (TNC) held in July 2019.

Bangladesh has also exchanged the request list seeking duty benefits for 301 products, including readymade garments, leather and leather goods, pharmaceuticals, jute and jute goods, and electronic products, on the Indonesian market.

Commerce ministry officials said that the Bangladesh Tariff Commission has primarily prepared a recommendation, as per ministry inputs and upon consultation with stakeholders, on the possible offers to be made against Indonesia’s request.

Trade experts from the both countries would discuss the lists at the next TNC meeting to be held soon, they said.

The TNC on the Bangladesh-Indonesia PTA started negotiations in February 2019 to reach a conclusion over the signing of the agreement.

According to the request list sent by Indonesia, the country sought duty-free benefits on export of 271 products to Bangladesh along with a reduction of duty by 50 per cent for 33 products and by 40 per cent for another five products.

The products include palm oil, coconut oil, vegetable fats, fish, natural honey, cocoa, sand, stone, granules, gypsum, limestone, coal, petroleum oils, wood and wood products, rails, aluminium, air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, mobiles and mobile accessories, computer monitor, television and its parts, LED lamp, solar modules, printer, various types of spare parts, coconuts, betel nuts, dried fruit, coffee, tea, rice and various types of spices.

Of the products under the list, 25 per cent customs duty is now applicable on import of 144 products by Bangladeshi traders, 15 per cent on eight products, 10 per cent on 69 products, 5 per cent on 60 products, and 1 per cent on 16 products and zero duty on import of nine products.

Out of the 144 products with 25 per cent CD, Indonesia sought full exemption of CD for 125 products.

According to an analysis of the BTC, these 309 products cover around 68 per cent of the total imports from Indonesia and more than 70 per cent of the total revenue collection generated from Indonesian imports.

The share of these products in global import and global revenue generation of Bangladesh is more than 18 per cent and around 25 per cent respectively, it said.

The officials said that 157 of the products on the request list sent by Indonesia were already on Bangladesh’s preference list for trade under the South Asian Free Trade Agreement with 0 to 5 per cent duty rates.

Therefore, these products might be first considered for offer, they said.

They said that the decision would be taken following recommendations of the stakeholders, including local manufacturers.

The BTC on December 30 held the first consultation meeting with the stakeholders concerned.

The stakeholders recommended the commission to exclude some products, including television, tea and sugar, from the offer list.

The lists will be finalised after considering the inputs of the commerce ministry and other government agencies.

Currently, bilateral trade between the two countries is heavily against Bangladesh. Bangladesh exported goods worth only $55 million to the country in 2017-18.

On the other hand, Bangladesh imported goods worth $1.15 billion from the country in FY 2017.

 

[Bilal9]

I predict once proposed preferential trade agreement (PTA) is finalized, bilateral trade will jump to 5 Billion in less than two years.The PTA between Indonesia and Bangladesh needs to be finalized because of several reasons.

1. Reducing dependency on Indian products and agricultural goods. Just on the basis of quality, Indian goods simply cannot compete.

2. Strengthening trade between us and a friendly Muslim country like Indonesia, instead of India, whose politics and interest are skewed against our international stance and interest.

3. Current govt. in India is the worst 'Frenemy' Bangladesh has ever seen and an unreliable trade partner to say the least. Latest issue was the Onion fiasco, where India proved it cannot even control its own wholesale agricultural market. We have to keep our eggs in more than one basket to prevent repeat of these 'fiascos'.

4. On a personal level, I can vouch that cheatery and forgery in trade is far less prevalent in Indonesia than in India, where 'fly-by-night' and 'one-time-business' is the norm rather than the exception...

5. As a country with lower GDP and development - Bangladesh will be at a trade disadvantage with a deficit against Indonesia, at least in the short and medium terms. However the case is no different with India.

6. PTA will afford a better arrangement with Indonesia than in India where Indian traders and manufacturers are constantly harping against Bangladesh trade accusing us of 'unfair dumping practices'; when in reality Indian banya businessmen are far too used to enjoying the benefits of non-competitive (internationally) captive markets, shades of the 'license raj' of the eighties still lingers. Spoilt Indian banyas and their agents the corrupt politicians...

Quality of which Indian agricultural produce is not good? This is really funny as you are trying to say that plants don't produce good agricultural produce because they are planted in India. Moreover, commodity like tomatoes, onion, potatoes are mainly grown in India which Bangladesh can't easily substitute.

When trade is based on close land routes, there will be more cheating. But it goes both ways. Trade with Indonesia will be very expensive as there will be huge logistics cost of loading, unloading and shipping. So, it will have less cheating but also less profitable.

Which huge logistick cost? Indonesia shipping is quite large and extensive had experiences and expertise to do large shipping by sea routes for decades


Indonesia hardly has any industrial goods on offer. Substituting Indian goods with Indonesian ones is not an option.

India industrial goods is not well known for quality except for some examples like bajaj and other bycycle motors. The rest is left to be desired.

 

[UKBengali]

BD and Indonesia are large developing Muslim countries and I can see ever closer economic links between the two countries.
Let the relation grow and prosper.

No, not exactly that BD does not produce the three agriculture commodities you mentioned.

- In some of the years, we have a surplus of potatoes.
- This is the first time that BD faced an onion crisis. This year, farmers are sowing in larger acreage that will meet the demands. Moreover, we have already diversified our source of imports. The govt will perhaps no more import Indian onions.
- As far as I know, BD is self-sufficient in producing tomatoes. Local markets are full of this commodity although I do not like the taste and look of the present tomato. Old-time tomatoes tasted far better and I can eat that type in Japan. What is the source of tomato seeds in BD?

Minister of Commerce has already declared that we'll no longer import onions from India.
https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangla...ter-we-won-t-import-onions-from-india-anymore

Probably we'll instead see government taking steps to ensure our own production rises enough to meet our domestic demand.

They banned cattle export to us few years ago.This in turn encouraged our cattle farmers to increase production & now we're virtually self-sufficient in this sector.
They banned onion export, which in turn will pressure the government to take necessary steps to become self-sufficient in onion & probably other agricultural products as well.
I wish India one by one bans export of other products which we import from them as well.It'll be a boon for our domestic production capabilities in the long run.

 

[Homo Sapiens]

Moreover, commodity like tomatoes, onion, potatoes are mainly grown in India which Bangladesh can't easily substitute.

Bangladesh do not import tomato from India, we have enough tomato production and Bangladesh produce more potato than need(Bangladesh is actually 7th largest potato producer in the world). A vast quantities of potato rotten and some amount get exported to other countries. Now come to onion, it is a product Bangladesh is about 75% self sufficient, 25% onion used to come from India. But not anymore. Minister has vowed to make Bangladesh self sufficient in onion within 2 years.

These Indian Hindutva anti-Muslim folks are so ignorant, it takes your breath away.

I am speechless.

So ignorant and still no shame. Spouting BS like nobody in Bangladesh knows anything...

How will potatoless, onionless and tomatoless Bangladesh survive?

These morons forget that the Bangla region in ancient times was the primary GDP earner in India, due mainly to agriculture...we pretty much grow everything.

And we reserve the right to do business with anyone we deem appropriate - in this case a brotherly Muslim country. I see more scope of Railway and transport imports, Indonesian railcoaches and Laksana buses are many times superior in quality than any Indian import as we have already seen.

BD may be self sufficient in tomatoes. But it needs several agricultural items like cotton, sugar, potato, onion etc from India. Bangladesh is a small country with large population. It can't get enough land to produce all raw materials needed.

Minister of Commerce has already declared that we'll no longer import onions from India.
https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangla...ter-we-won-t-import-onions-from-india-anymore

From where will BD get the land to grow all the agricultural goods? BD is a small country with a large population. Talking about being self sufficient is a pipe dream.

Bangla region was rich due to fertile land. But with such huge population explosion in such a small land, it is no longer possible to even be self sufficient. Don't overthink about Bangla's agriculture

Look, once again you state your opinion without any data backing. I have actually brought the data for you to read but you still want to believe what you have already believed.

Here, take a look on the data and learn more detail from it.

1. Mineral fuels including oil: US$42 billion (23.3% of total exports)
2. Animal/vegetable fats, oils, waxes: $20.3 billion (11.3%)
3. Electrical machinery, equipment: $8.9 billion (4.9%)

9. Ores, slag, ash: $5.3 billion (2.9%)
10. Footwear: $5.1 billion (2.8%)

Those on the bold ones are all manufacturing goods, here more break down on the data:

Number 5 is being bold since it also contains rubber articles which means any finished product made from rubber. The data dont specify further but it suggest many manufacturing products with rubber as raw material. Tire production is one of the examples of it. And below is Indonesian tire export data:

Taufiek Bawazier, Director of Downstream Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Ministry of Industry, said that Indonesia's current market share in the world tire market was 2.28%. With this market share, Indonesia is the 14th biggest tire exporters in the world. The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) noted that throughout 2018, the export value of tires and inner tubes reached US$ 1.62 billion.

https://www.idnfinancials.com/news/24392/indonesia-aims-biggest-tire-exporter

Number 7 is being bold because it said iron and steel export. We all know that steel is a manufacturing product right ? The data said the export figure is 5.8 billion dollar. If we break down the data, it reveals that most figure comes from steel product then iron export. Any way our iron production is not much. Here is our steel product export figure:

Indonesian steel exports rose 28.86 percent in nine months (9M) of 2019, from US$4.15 billion to $5.35 billion, said the official today (10/30). One of the driver growth is exports of stainless steel.

https://theinsiderstories.com/indonesian-steel-export-rose-28-86-to-us29b-in-september/

Number 8 is being bold because the figure also contain precious metal that include gold and aluminium ingots that are both part of the manufacturing process (refining process). We have gold bar/ingot production at PT Aneka Tambang and aluminium ingots production at PT Inalum.

Number 10 Footwear. It is clear that footwear is part of manufacturing goods.

Except for electrical machinery and vehicles, all others are non-industrial goods like handcrafts or raw materials. Even the vehicles and machinery are assembled in Indonesia rather than manufactured

LOL once again you state something without proper data backing. Look if what you said is true then it would be impossible for Indonesia to be able to export automotive component/parts abroad since you said that we just assemble the components to make a car/motorcycle (assembling). Here is fact that we have automotive components production:

Meanwhile, Minister of Industry Airlangga Hartato stressed that one of the projects from the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap was the automotive industry, so that Indonesia became the production base of motorized vehicles, both internal combustion engines and electrified vehicles for domestic and export markets.

“Last year, CBU’ car exports were more than 264 thousand units, and in the form of Completely Knock Down around 82 thousand units, so that the total exceeded 346 thousand units with a value of $4 billion and an additional from automotive component exports worth $2.6 billion,” he said.

https://theinsiderstories.com/indonesia-simplifies-car-export-procedures/

Even we use our own made steel and aluminium for our car manufacturing industries.

Higher activity sees expansion of supply lines


Production growth is also leading to an increase in output from parts and materials providers.

One such material supplier, Krakatau Nippon Steel Sumikin, a joint venture between Japan’s Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp and local firm Krakatau Steel, announced it would be expanding production of automotive flat steel products following the opening of its new $300m plant in Cilegon, in north-western Java, in early August.

The company’s annual output stands at around 120,000 tonnes of anti-corrosion and high-strength steel for automotive industry use, but it expects to increase this to 480,000 tonnes once the new plant is fully operational.

Inalum supplies Toyota car rim raw materials

With the supply of aluminum from Inalum, aluminum imports in the automotive industry sector can be reduced gradually so as to have a positive impact. (Photo: INALUM)

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia Asahan Aluminum (State Owned Enterprise/SOE) or Inalum related to the use of aluminum as raw material for rim production for Toyota cars.

The agreement was signed between the two companies on Thursday (2/14), which was represented by Inalum President Director Budi Gunadi Sadikin and TMMIN Warih President Director Andang Tjahjono.

Budi said that this agreement was part of the government's plan to reduce imports from the automotive sector.

Indonesian Toyota Exports Rise, Fortuner and Best-Selling Avanza "This step is one form of Inalum as the holding company of the mining industry in carrying out the government's mandate for downstreaming aluminum products, one of which is by encouraging an increase in the national automotive industry through the use of aluminum products that we produce," Budi said through an official statement on Friday (2/15) )

Budi explained that Inalum has the prospect of supplying up to 150 MT per month of Aluminum Foundry Alloy (A365 aluminum alloy) to Pakoakunia (PAKO) which is a rim supplier company for Indonesian automotive manufacturers. This number is targeted to continue to increase.

Meanwhile Warih said that this cooperation had a major impact on the national automotive sector, especially increasing the percentage level of domestic content for automotive products, to 'resilient' against the rupiah exchange rate.

"In turn, it can increase competitiveness (national competitiveness) of the industry," said Warih.

Warih continued in the initial stages, Inalum will supply the needs of aluminum which will then be used for the production of Toyota Kijang Innova, Fortuner and Sienta rims.

Warih added that the supply of Aluminum Foundry Alloy will continue to be added gradually in line with Inalum's ability to supply aluminum. While Inalum's ability to produce Aluminum Foundry Alloy for rim is supported by a production capacity of 90 thousand tons per year.

With the supply of aluminum from Inalum, the import of Aluminum Foundry Alloy in the automotive industry sector can be reduced gradually so as to have a positive impact in the form of potential foreign exchange savings of US $ 1.3 million per year at an early stage because the supply of aluminum is only absorbed by Toyota branded TMMIN production vehicles.

In the future, this number is expected to increase significantly. (ryh / mik)

Indonesia First Lithium Battery Factory

JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Dahlan Iskan inaugurated the PT Nipress Tbk lithium battery factory in Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java, Saturday (07/13/2013). This factory became the first lithium battery factory in Indonesia.

Nipress is one of the consortiums supporting the national electric car industry in the supply of lithium batteries. Where this battery will be used in the operation of electric cars that are being developed in Indonesia, as an alternative environmentally friendly means of transportation.

Currently, Nipress is also developing batteries for special needs of combat vehicles such as tanks, submarines and missiles. This product research and development works in collaboration with the TNI (Indonesian Armed Force) Headquarters.

In 1973, Nipress began production of positive and negative plate components for car batteries. Whereas in 2012 Nipress has mastered a 30 percent market share for domestic car and motorcycle batteries under the NS brand.

Meanwhile, the company has also mastered a market share of up to 50 percent for cellular BTS batteries with them NS. With the success of lithium battery production by Nipress, Indonesia will be increasingly ready to develop national electric cars and motorbikes independently.

Some example of our machinery export

Sunday, 27 Oktober 2019 23:36

PT Barata Indonesia exported components of power plant to the UK for 36 times.

PT Barata Indonesia (SOE) once again exported components of power plant for 36 times to the UK.

That is in the form of components of the Condenser and LP Outer Casing power plants.

The procession of the export release of the power plant components was attended by officials of the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Industry, Harjanto, Director General of the Metal Machinery for Transportation and Electronics Equipment and Zakiyudin, Director of the Machinery Industry and Agricultural Machine Tools.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of SOE's RI represented by Heri Purnomo, Assistant Deputy for Strategic and Media Industry Mining, Ministry of SOE's in the Turbine Component Plant of the PT Barata Indonesia (Persero) Turbine Components Division, Cilegon, Thursday (10/24).

It is planned that the two power plant products will be used at the Keadby 2 Power Station power plant which has a capacity of 840 MW.

The process of working on the two components of the power plant has been ongoing since the end of December 2018 and takes 20,000 working hours.

President Director of Barata Indonesia Oksarlidady Arifin said that the consistency of Barata Indonesia in exporting overseas plant components proved that domestic products were also able to compete with foreign products and were of equal quality.

"As a state-owned company, I hope that Barata Indonesia can continue to increase exports of its flagship products. In addition to increasing the country's foreign exchange, it will also strengthen the role of the country's local industry," said Dady, Oksarlidady Arifin's close nickname.

In addition to exporting to the United Kingdom, this week Barata Indonesia also exports to Japan, the Kamisu Biomass (1 x 50 MW) Power Plant and for the Hsinta Power Plant in Taiwan.

Meanwhile at the end of October 2019, Barata Indonesia will also export condensers to Dubai, UAE.

Thus the company has exported power plant components to various parts of the world for Condenser & LP Outer Casing (Brazil, Argentina, Russia & Pakistan), Blade Ring Components (Panama, Argentina, Brazil & Pakistan), Inner Casting (Bangladesh & Australia) as well as Combustion Chamber (Taiwan).

Meanwhile, Minister of Industry Airlangga Hartato stressed that one of the projects from the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap was the automotive industry, so that Indonesia became the production base of motorized vehicles, both internal combustion engines and electrified vehicles for domestic and export markets.


“Last year, CBU’ car exports were more than 264 thousand units, and in the form of Completely Knock Down around 82 thousand units, so that the total exceeded 346 thousand units with a value of $4 billion and an additional from automotive component exports worth $2.6 billion,” he said.

Even we use our own made steel and aluminium for our car manufacturing industries.

Higher activity sees expansion of supply lines


Production growth is also leading to an increase in output from parts and materials providers.


One such material supplier, Krakatau Nippon Steel Sumikin, a joint venture between Japan’s Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp and local firm Krakatau Steel, announced it would be expanding production of automotive flat steel products following the opening of its new $300m plant in Cilegon, in north-western Java, in early August.


The company’s annual output stands at around 120,000 tonnes of anti-corrosion and high-strength steel for automotive industry use, but it expects to increase this to 480,000 tonnes once the new plant is fully operational.

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia Asahan Aluminum (Persero) or Inalum related to the use of aluminum as raw material for rim production for Toyota cars.

The agreement was signed between the two companies on Thursday (2/14), which was represented by Inalum President Director Budi Gunadi Sadikin and TMMIN Warih President Director Andang Tjahjono.

Budi said that this agreement was part of the government's plan to reduce imports from the automotive sector.

Budi explained that Inalum has the prospect of supplying up to 150 MT per month of Aluminum Foundry Alloy (A365 aluminum alloy) to Pakoakunia (PAKO) which is a rim supplier company for Indonesian automotive manufacturers. This number is targeted to continue to increase.

Meanwhile Warih said that this cooperation had a major impact on the national automotive sector, especially increasing the percentage level of domestic content for automotive products, to 'resilient' against the rupiah exchange rate.

"In turn, it can increase competitiveness (national competitiveness) of the industry," said Warih.

Warih continued in the initial stages, Inalum will supply the needs of aluminum which will then be used for the production of Toyota Kijang Innova, Fortuner and Sienta rims.

Warih added that the supply of Aluminum Foundry Alloy will continue to be added gradually in line with Inalum's ability to supply aluminum. While Inalum's ability to produce Aluminum Foundry Alloy for rim is supported by a production capacity of 90 thousand tons per year.

With the supply of aluminum from Inalum, the import of Aluminum Foundry Alloy in the automotive industry sector can be reduced gradually so as to have a positive impact in the form of potential foreign exchange savings of US $ 1.3 million per year at an early stage because the supply of aluminum is only absorbed by Toyota branded TMMIN production vehicles.

In the future, this number is expected to increase significantly. (ryh / mik)
