Learn about the USD11.78 billion export milestone and the innovative Japan Quality Line producing halal-certified fruit jelly
Jakarta, July 1, 2025 – Indonesia is poised to become a global leader in the halal food and beverage industry, leveraging its robust domestic market and growing international demand. The sector, a cornerstone of the nation’s non-oil and gas processing industry, contributed 41.15% to the non-oil and gas manufacturing GDP in Q1 2025, with exports reaching USD11.78 billion, including palm oil, accounting for 22.42% of total non-oil and gas export value.
Deputy Minister of Industry Faisol Riza emphasized the sector’s significance, stating, “Indonesia’s food and beverage industry is a backbone of our economy. We are actively fostering international partnerships to strengthen our halal product offerings and compete globally.” In Q1 2025, the industry’s GDP grew by 6.04%, outpacing the national GDP growth of 4.87% and the non-oil and gas manufacturing sector’s 4.31%.
A landmark collaboration between PT Niramas Pandaan Sejahtera (NPS), a subsidiary of PT Niramas Utama (INACO), and Japan’s Tarami Corporation, part of DyDo Group Holdings, Inc., exemplifies this push. Supported by Kawasho Foods Corporation, the partnership has launched a halal-certified fruit jelly cup production line in Indonesia, adhering to Japan’s stringent quality standards. This “Japan Quality Line” ensures safety, quality, and taste equivalent to products made in Nagasaki, Japan, enabling access to Muslim consumers worldwide—a market previously untapped by Tarami.
The collaboration, backed by a Rp75 billion investment (Rp60 billion from NPS and Rp15 billion from partners), has already initiated exports to 10 countries, with an initial order value of USD1.3 million. Adhi S. Lukman, President Director of NPS, highlighted, “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, halal-certified products globally, supported by technology transfers and human capital development.”
This initiative aligns with Indonesia’s Making Indonesia 4.0 program, which prioritizes the food and beverage sector among seven key pillars. The government is facilitating such collaborations through fiscal incentives, trade exhibitions, and global partnerships to bolster export growth and position Indonesia as a global halal industry hub. Director General of Agro-Industry Putu Juli Ardika noted, “International partnerships are key to driving innovation and expanding export reach. We will continue to support these efforts to strengthen Indonesia’s role in the global halal supply chain.”
This strategic move not only enhances Indonesia’s economic growth but also meets the rising global demand for halal products, offering Muslim consumers high-quality, safe, and delicious options.
