The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) recently issued a new regulation that eliminates the use of “harvest periods” as a basis to restrict horticultural product imports. However, the regulation also gives the Director General (DG) for Horticulture new and expanded authority to consider “domestic horticultural production” when issuing import licenses. Local importers believe the DG will use this expanded authority to continue to restrict the timing and quantity of horticultural product imports. MOA’s burdensome and restrictive import licensing system is one of the reasons U.S. fresh fruit exports to Indonesia have declined significantly in recent years, including a drop of another 34 percent so far in 2018.
