The other export commodities with good prospects are CPO the export of which in the Jan-Apr 2009 period reached 5.57 million tons, up by 4.3 percent compared to last year's 5.34 million tons.
The CPO exports up to April 2009 reached 2.87 billion dollars, down 44.6 percent compared to the 5.19 billion dollars in last year's same period.
Cummulatively, Indonesia's exports in the Jan-Apr period reached 31.49 billion dollars, down 29.51 percent compared to that in last year's same period, while non-oil exports reached 26.90 billion dollars, down 22.68 percent.
Indonesia's non-oil/gas exports to China reached the biggest value of 830.3 million dollars, followed by the United States with 768.4 million dollars, and Japan 687.4 million dollars, and the three gave a contribution of 31.73 percent, while the exports to the European Union (27 countries) reached 869.3 million dollars.
