Indonesia-Türkiye Cooperation to Enhance Global Agricultural Exports
On February 12, 2025, Indonesia and the Republic of Türkiye signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking a strategic step toward enhancing agricultural commodity export cooperation between the two countries. The signing was witnessed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, and the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, at the Presidential Palace in Bogor, West Java. Indonesia’s Minister of Agriculture, Andi Amran Sulaiman, and Türkiye’s Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, İbrahim Yumaklı, also signed the agreement, reinforcing economic and trade relations in the agricultural sector.
This cooperation focuses on boosting the export of key Indonesian agricultural commodities, including coffee, palm oil, rubber, spices (such as pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon), tea, cocoa, tropical fruits (such as mangoes, pineapples, and bananas), and livestock products. In return, Türkiye will export wheat to Indonesia, supporting the country’s food supply needs.
In his statement, Andi Amran Sulaiman highlighted that this MoU presents significant opportunities for Indonesia to increase its agricultural exports to Türkiye, aligning with the growing global demand for high-quality agricultural products from Indonesia. Beyond trade expansion, the two countries have also committed to strengthening cooperation in agricultural technology, joint research, technical training, and the development of digital-based smart agriculture.
As part of this collaboration, a Steering Committee will be established to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of the MoU. This partnership positions Türkiye as a strategic ally for Indonesia, fostering positive impacts on agricultural development and food security in both nations. The agreement is set to last five years, with a possible extension based on mutual consent.
