Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia's textile ecosystem is very comprehensive, making it competitive in both domestic and international markets, according to Trade Minister Budi Santoso.”I think our ecosystem is the most complete, from raw materials to factories, distribution, designers, and MSMEs—we have it all, and it can run well,” he said here on Thursday.On the sidelines of the Indo Intertex 2026 at the Jakarta International Expo, Budi stated that Indonesian textile and textile product (TPT) exports in 2025 are projected to show positive growth of 3.55 percent annually, generating an export value of US$12.08 billion and a surplus of US$3.45 billion.”So, in addition to domestic potential, exports are quite good. The quality is quite good. If the quality is good and competitive, we can control imports,” he noted.With high competitiveness, Indonesian textile products are expected to be able to meet domestic demand and compete in the global market.The prospect for Indonesian textiles is also supported by international trade agreements, such as with the United States and the European Union, Budi added.Earlier this month, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded Indonesia's trade balance with the US at US$3.53 billion during January-February 2026, higher than the US$2.63 billion recorded in the same period last year.The US also contributed the largest surplus to Indonesia, at US$43.53 billion, with the main export products being electronics, textiles, and footwear.”Indonesia's largest surplus is with the US. That is why we are pursuing the American market, which is why we created the ART (Agreement on Reciprocal Trade) because our market share accounts for 11 percent of our total global exports. So it must be maintained,” Budi explained.With a comprehensive ecosystem, Indonesian textile producers are expected to be able to compete with foreign producers, particularly amidst the impact of current geopolitical turmoil.
