Indonesian government to cut garlic imports by 40 percent next year

In an effort to encourage Indonesia’s domestic production, the Agriculture Ministry plans to reduce garlic imports next year by roughly 40 percent.

According to National Food Agency (NFA) head Arief Prasetyo Adi, the horticultural product import recommendations (RIPH) for 2024 would limit the volume of imported garlic to a maximum of 650,000 tons. That amount was based on the nationwide need, which was only 600,000 to 620,000 tons, he said yesterday.
