Indonesia exports refrigerators to Cambodia through PT Panasonic Manufacturing Indonesia (PMI). This is related to the import substitution program and activities to increase exports of domestic products.
“I convey my highest appreciation to all ranks of Panasonic Manufacturing Indonesia for their support for the government’s efforts to encourage export activities of the electronics industry,” said Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang in a statement, Monday (26/9/2022).
According to Agus, this effort is a clear proof that the synergy between the government and industry players is going well. “The receipt of this Panasonic refrigerator product proves that the quality of electronic products made by Indonesian children has been recognized by the international market,” he added.
Refrigerator is one product that has a high export value in Indonesia. In 2021, the refrigerator export value will be US$ 374.4 million or Rp5.65 trillion (exchange rate of Rp15,014) of which 40% comes from the contribution of PT PMI which has exported refrigerators to Asian and Middle East markets.
Cambodia is the 8th country for PT PMI in terms of refrigerator export destinations besides Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Myanmar, UAE, Kuwait and Oman. Apart from refrigerators, PT PMI has also exported other electronic products such as audio products, water pumps and washing machines.
