Indonesia Sugar Market Overview
Indonesia is the world's largest sugar importer, bringing in 5+ million MT annually to supply its 270 million population and large food/beverage manufacturing sector. The Indonesian government allocates import quotas (PI) to licensed importers. Most imports are raw sugar destined for local refineries, but refined sugar imports also occur for direct industrial use. Thailand is Indonesia's largest sugar supplier due to proximity, ASEAN free trade benefits, and consistent quality.
Indonesia is Thailand's largest sugar export destination, importing 1+ million MT annually under ASEAN preferential tariffs.
