WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, President Trump’s Administration announced a new Agreement on Reciprocal Trade between the United States and Indonesia that gives tariff-free access for U.S. ethanol, corn, distiller’s grains, corn gluten meal, sorghum and barley.
Through the agreement, Indonesia commits to adopting transportation fuels mixed with E5 by 2028, up to E10 by 2030 and down the line, include E20 in its fuel mix.
Indonesia will also remove unjustified sanitary and phytosanitary barriers that undermine reciprocity and it will not impose quantitative restrictions on U.S. exports which could lead U.S. corn purchases to exceed the current commitment volume.
In response, Mark Wilson, U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council Chairman said:
“The U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council applauds the work The Trump Administration – including Ambassador Greer and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Rollins – continues to do to open markets around the world to U.S. corn, sorghum, barley and co-product producers and connecting them to those who want and need our products.
“This move is a welcomed development and a win-win for American producers and Indonesian consumers alike.”
