Indonesia regulates textile imports to balance market demand

The Indonesian Industry Ministry has implemented regulations on textile and textile product (TPT) imports to ensure supply and demand balance and protect domestic production. Spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arif stated that the policy is designed to align imported goods with local market needs rather than restrict trade. He provided an example where domestic demand for downstream products is 100 units, but domestic production can only meet 80, thus allowing imports of just 20 units. The ministry emphasized that import controls aim to prevent excessive imports from overwhelming local industries and ensure economic benefits remain within the country. Arif noted that purchasing domestic products supports local workers and keeps economic value within Indonesia.
