"The increase was thanks to many factors, among other things promotion. But the main factor was the fact the Indonesian creative products are now of better quality," Deputy Trade Minister Mahendra Siregar said here on Thursday.
Indonesia exports among other things paintings, sculptures, and wooden carvings.
The markets of creative industry products have also expanded, according to the deputy minister.
"Because our products meet the needs of middle to upper class buyers in the export destination countries," he said.
The creative industry products were exported to America, Japan and European countries.
