Indonesia: Dairy Import Requirements Revision
The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) recently issued revised requirements on dairy product imports. MOA will no longer require that importers invest in promoting fluid milk consumption, invest in local dairy production, and/or procure local fluid milk as a condition to obtain import licenses. The elimination of this mandate should ease dairy product importers’ purchase and marketing decisions. In 2017, Indonesia imported $133 million in dairy products, but the partnership requirement threatened to disrupt those exports.
