One of the challenges to exporting automatic products to Australia is the carbon standard set by the country, he pointed out.
Since the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) took effect in July 2020, Indonesia has the potential to increase its exports to Australia.
Indonesian products whose exports to Australia can increase comprise automotive, wood and derivatives, including furniture, fishery products, textiles and textile products, footwear, communication devices, and electronic appliances.
Automobile is one of the products that Indonesia is seeking to boost as the automotive industry in Australia is facing various difficulties./.
