WASHINGTON, September 26, 2025 — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service is now accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Jakarta, Indonesia, scheduled for February 2–5, 2026. U.S. exporters interested in exploring trade opportunities in Indonesia’s thriving agricultural market must apply by October 10, 2025.
Under the agreement, Indonesia would eliminate tariffs on more than 99% of U.S. products and address long-standing barriers to U.S. agricultural trade, opening doors to expanded market access in the world’s fourth-largest country.
“This trade deal creates an unprecedented opportunity for American farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses to gain more access to Southeast Asia’s largest market,” said Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke J. Lindberg, who will lead the mission. “This mission is well-timed to connect U.S. exporters with key buyers and meet Indonesia’s growing demand for high–quality American agricultural goods – boosting rural economies and keeping U.S. products globally competitive.”
In 2024, U.S. agricultural exports to Indonesia totaled nearly $3 billion, making it the 11th-largest market for U.S. products. Despite the U.S. being the fourth-largest agricultural supplier to Indonesia, there is a $1.1 billion deficit. The 2025 trade agreement is expected to unlock new market access and help close the gap.
Indonesia’s expanding middle class and consistent post-pandemic growth make it a priority market for U.S. exporters. The population is expected to grow by 4 percent, reaching nearly 300 million by 2030. Opportunities in the Indonesian market include:
- Dairy
- Wheat, corn and soybeans (for food)
- Feed ingredients
- Seafood
- Dried fruit and nuts
- Confectionery and bakery products
- Nonalcoholic beverages
- Fresh fruit
- Food preparations
- Other consumer-oriented products
Participants will join buyers from across Indonesia for targeted business-to-business meetings. USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service staff and regional experts will also host networking events, market briefings, and site visits.

The trade mission is part of USDA’s broader 2025 agricultural export promotion strategy. Recent trade missions to Thailand, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Peru, and the Dominican Republic delivered measurable success for U.S. exporters. Upcoming missions include Taiwan and Mexico.
