According to the Indonesian International Daily reported on September 9th, Ahmad, Secretary General of the Indonesian industrial ministry, said at Pelalawan Liao Shengpei in September 7th that the US Customs had a good impression of Indonesian garments and textile products, so they planned to reduce their import duties from 11% to 5% next year. This will promote the expansion of the export market of Indonesian textiles, which is a great business opportunity for the Indonesian textile industry.

Ahmed would like to have similar business opportunities for European exports. Indonesian exporters must seize this opportunity to achieve more export contracts.

If Indonesia's textiles can control 1.8% of the global market, its textile industry will have great potential and the export market will continue to expand.

He stressed that although there are still some work to be done in Indonesia's textile industry, the potential can be exploited, that is, the coordinated development of upstream industries and downstream industries.
