RATTAN EXPORT QUOTA REMAINS UNCHANGED
Jakarta, Mar 30 (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Trade did not change the rattan export quota set in Decree of the Minister of Trade No 28/M-DAG/PER/7/2008.
"In the meantime, nothing has been changed," Director General of Foreign Trade at the Ministry of Trade Diah Maulida said in Jakarta Monday.
The decree issued on July 18, 2008 specified the Kalimantan rattan export at 25,000 tons, and semi-finished rattan of Kalimantan 16,000 tons. The quota is valid for the July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 period.
The ministry conducted an evaluation once in every three months with a view to monitoring the rattan handicraft industry as a requirement to obtain the export quota.
Diah said that Indonesia has a great deal of raw rattan and semi-finished rattan supplies as demand for export of the commodties had dropped following the global economic crisis.
Diah also said that right now his office is finalizing a revision of the trade minister's decree relating to rattan exports underlining compulsory supplies and the definition of rattan terminal.
Diah also said that there had been no definite figures on the need of the rattan handicraft industry and rattan supplies, so that a sound balance between needs and supplies is still no guarantee.
But Diah said that in the granting of raw and semi-finished rattan export quotas, his office always involved the ministry of industry and the association of rattan handicraft producers.
