Indonesia is aiming to become a major exporter of crude palm oil (CPO) to Canada while also strengthening strategic cooperation in the agricultural sector, including livestock development. This was conveyed by Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman when receiving a visit from the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security of Canada, Heath MacDonald, on Thursday. During their meeting, the two ministers discussed opportunities for cooperation amid global challenges such as climate uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and food crises. The ministers also explored collaboration opportunities in livestock development—particularly dairy and live cattle—as well as in the transfer of modern agricultural technology and climate-resilient practices. Minister MacDonald stated that the current geopolitical climate presents an opportunity to increase trade with Indonesia, deepen bilateral ties, and foster sustainability—especially in the agricultural sector. In 2024, Indonesia’s agricultural commodity exports to Canada surpassed US$222 million. The main exports included rubber (US$115.4 million), cocoa (US$58.2 million), coffee (US$29.5 million), and pineapple (US$5.8 million).Source : https://en.antaranews.com/news/370329/indonesia-eyes-major-cpo-export-role-in-canada-boosts-agri-ties?utm_source=antaranews&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=editor_picks (ICE GIACARTA)
