Indonesia-EAEU FTA Signed: New Tariff Benefits for Coffee Importers in Eurasia

Indonesia opens a massive new trade corridor. Specifically, the government has officially signed the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This strategic pact eliminates significant trade barriers. Consequently, it creates a direct and cost-effective pathway for buyers in Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan to source Indonesian agricultural commodities.

The agreement prioritizes the plantation sector. Crucially, this includes Indonesia’s premium coffee exports. The removal or reduction of tariffs makes Indonesian green beans significantly more price-competitive in the Eurasian market. Therefore, importers in the EAEU region can now access high-quality Arabica and Robusta at a much better landed cost compared to non-FTA origins.

This deal marks a new chapter for commodities. In fact, it provides a stable legal framework for long-term trading. Indonesian exporters are now rapidly adjusting to these new regulations to ensure smooth logistics. We advise EAEU-based roasters to review their procurement strategies immediately to take full advantage of these new tariff preferences.

The Ministry of Trade emphasizes the readiness of local suppliers. Moreover, this agreement guarantees that Indonesian products meet the specific regulatory standards of the Eurasian market.

Secure your supply of Indonesian coffee now to capitalize on these emerging economic benefits. Ultimately, early adopters of this trade route will secure the best margins
