In a press conference at her office Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said here on Tuesday the government had set the export target at 7.0 to 8.5 percent which was later revised to 16 to 18 percent for the Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM).
"What is encouraging is the hike in the non-oil/gas exports in 2010 is also supported by export hikes in all sectors including mining, industry and agriculture," she said.
The non-oil/gas exports from the mining sector rose 35.4 percent, from agriculture 14.9 percent and industries 33.5 percent.
She said the rise in the export volume and price of international commodities was the main driver of the increasing non-oil/gas exports in 2010.
Among the main export products that record high growth are rubber (67.3 percent), palmoil (25.7 percent) and cocoa (23 percent), she said.
Manufacturing products that record significant hike in exports are automotive (37.6 percent), foot wear (34.1 percent), electronics (17 percent) and textiles and textile products (13 percent).
Mari said concentration of Indonesia`s non-oil/gas export destinations shifted in 2010.
"The five main non-oil/gas export destinations namely Japan, China, the US, Malaysia and Singapore only comprise 47 percent of the market share. The concentration has shifted," she said.
She said China in 2009 was ranked third in the list of Indonesia`s biggest export destinations but in 2010 it replaced the US and became the second biggest.
"As of 2009 India has also replaced Malaysia with its market share rises to 7.6 while Malaysia only 6.0 percent," she said.(*)
