JAKARTA, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's export value increased 14.05 percent year-on-year to 21.98 billion U.S. dollars in February 2025, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) announced on Monday.

BPS head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti said that non-oil and gas exports were the main driver of this growth, particularly in animal or vegetable fats and oils, precious metals and jewelry or gems, and iron and steel.

Non-oil and gas exports in February reached 20.84 billion dollars, supported by a 37.04 percent increase in animal or vegetable fats and oils, a 37.85 percent increase in machinery and mechanical equipment, and a 16.45 percent rise in precious metals and jewelry or gems.

Meanwhile, oil and gas exports stood at 1.14 billion dollars, increasing due to higher crude oil exports, which contributed 0.56 percent to the total export growth.

By destination, Indonesia's three largest export markets in February were China, the United States, and India. They accounted for 39.79 percent of total non-oil and gas exports.

Cumulatively, Indonesia's exports from January to February 2025 totaled 43.41 billion dollars, marking a 9.16 percent year-on-year increase. Enditem
