The highest non-oil and gas exports in the first quarter of 2023 went to the US at $5.83 billion and Japan at $5.41 billion, with a combined contribution of 43.02 per cent to the total export value.
From January to March 2023, Indonesia received non-oil and gas items from Japan worth $4.25 billion, and Thailand $2.92 billion, with a combined contribution of 47.64 per cent.
