Indonesia is preparing to fully implement a centralized “single-door” export system for several strategic natural resource commodities by the end of December, as the government seeks to strengthen export governance and optimize foreign-exchange earnings.

The system, managed by state-owned PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), currently covers coal, palm oil and ferroalloys. The government began implementing the mechanism on 1 June 2026, with full implementation targeted for 31 December 2026, according to ANTARA English.

Trade Minister Budi Santoso said the transition remains on track while the government and DSI continue to finalize the operational framework.

“I think it is good; everything is proceeding well, though we are still in a transition phase,” Budi said, as quoted by ANTARA English. He added that the transition would continue until the end of the year before the government evaluates the system's overall performance.

Under Government Regulation No. 24 of 2026, DSI was established to manage and oversee the centralized export mechanism for strategic natural resources. The policy is intended to improve national oversight of high-value commodity exports and ensure that export proceeds are properly managed.

During the first three months of implementation, DSI analyzed approximately 6,500 export declarations, according to data from the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs. The declarations represented more than USD 14 billion in trade value and covered over 90 million tonnes of commodities shipped to more than 100 countries.

The scale of the transactions highlights the international reach of Indonesia's strategic commodity exports. Coal, palm oil and ferroalloys are important components of the country's trade flows, linking Indonesian producers with markets across multiple regions.

IDNFinancials reported that the government is continuing to evaluate the initial phase while coordinating with DSI on the appropriate operational format. Budi said the company was still preparing the system for full implementation.

“We are still discussing the right format, but DSI is currently in the process of preparing itself,” Budi said, as quoted by IDNFinancials.

The government has said the mechanism could strengthen Indonesia's position in international trade while supporting foreign-exchange management, rupiah stability, inflation control and broader economic growth. The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs and other relevant ministries are evaluating the transition period to determine the next steps.

Tempo English likewise reported that Indonesia plans to complete the single-door export mechanism by the end of 2026, with the system expected to provide a centralized framework for the country's strategic commodity exports.

The government will continue the transition through 31 December 2026, after which the performance of the mechanism will be assessed as Indonesia moves toward its full implementation.
