Market Analysis and Outlook
Indonesia’s spice exports continue to contribute significantly to agricultural income and foreign exchange. Maluku, Sulawesi, Lampung, and Bangka Belitung remain key producing regions. High-value commodities such as cardamom, nutmeg, and white pepper show robust demand in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Although clove volumes are smaller, their export value remains high due to essential oil and tobacco industry demand.
The future outlook emphasizes value-added processing, certification (organic and GMP), and post-harvest handling to enhance export competitiveness and quality. With rising global interest in natural ingredients and health-focused products, Indonesia’s spice sector is poised for steady growth.
