JAKARTA, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia recorded a halal product trade surplus of 51.17 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, supported by exports worth 63.42 billion dollars, Deputy Trade Minister Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri said on Monday.
Palm oil and its derivatives remained the country's largest halal export category, valued at 34.16 billion dollars, followed by Muslim fashion products at 8.67 billion dollars and chemicals used in halal cosmetics worth 5.46 billion dollars.
During the first quarter of 2026, Indonesia's halal product exports reached 15.64 billion dollars, up 2.52 percent year on year, the official said.
The government plans to step up promotion, export facilitation and market expansion efforts, particularly in Latin America, Africa and North America, to increase the global market share of Indonesian halal products. ■
