Indonesian electronic products entered the African market through the ports in South Africa.Jakarta (ANTARA News) -Indonesia`s export of electronic and telemathic products will increase to 12 billion US dollars by the end of this year.
"Up to the end of the year, electronic and telemathic exports increased 1.3 pct from last year`s 10.93 billion US dollars. Most of the products had been exported to the African continent," Director General of High Technology-Based Industrial Products of the Industry Ministry Budi Darmadi said in Jakarta Tuesday.
Budi said Indonesian electronic products entered the African market through the ports in South Africa.
"Indonesia is relying on electronic products like television sets, audio equipment and room air conditioners. From the South African ports the Indonesian products were spread to other African countries like Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal and Ivory Coast," he said.
He said South Africans preferred Indonesian products because of their better quality than Chinese products.
"While the market share of Indonesian products in South Africa is much bigger than that of China, Africans did not like the inferior quality of Chinese products," he said.
In this context, Budi said, electronic products have a chance to boost Indonesia`s export market in Africa.(*)
