Indonesia broadens its trade of food production in Saudi Arabia

Indonesia is seeking easier access to Saudi Arabia for its food products, as the country hopes to tap into export opportunities. The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority held a high-level dialogue with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority in Riyadh, where they agreed to strengthen cooperation and expand trade between the two countries in food and medicines.

This can boost economic growth in the two countries and increase economic cooperation between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Indonesian food products have huge export potential to Saudi Arabia, especially considering the large share of the market of Indonesian Umrah and Hajj pilgrims. Besides Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, there are also Saudi local citizens and migrants, who are potential consumers of Indonesian food products.
