Indonesia continues to export dried seaweed to South Korea despite COVID-19

JAKARTA. Indonesia continued to export dried seaweed to South Korea (South Korea) with an export value of US$ 17,000 amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,

Agus Suparmanto, Minister of Trade, said the export was a continuation of Indonesia's trade mission in Busan, South Korea in November 2019. "This is also in line with the high demand for food products despite COVID-19 pandemic," Suparmanto explained through an official statement.

According to the contract, CV Sarana Multi Jaya acts as an exporter. The products departed from Samarinda Harbor at the end of March 2020, and arrived in Busan on 18 April.

If seaweed products exported to Busan are in line with the buyer's expectations, the company will ship the next shipment.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Trade admitted that importers from South Korea were not worried about the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. However, the ministry will continue to monitor food products exported to South Korea. (KR/AR)
