flag Indonesia boosts high-value frankincense oil exports, raising revenue and supporting local industries.

flag Indonesia is advancing the downstream processing of high-quality frankincense/benzoin resin into essential oils to increase value and support small and medium industries, according to the Ministry of Industry. flag This effort aligns with the government’s natural resource downstreaming strategy and enhances competitiveness in global markets. flag The resin is widely used in perfumes, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and natural insecticides, with Indonesia exporting significant volumes of raw materials and higher-value downstream products. flag In 2024, exports of raw natural gums, resins, and oleoresins reached $55.5 million, while downstream products like essential oils totaled $42.3 million, demonstrating a higher value per ton. flag This shift strengthens Indonesia’s position in international trade.
