Mexico is ranked above at $1.3B, and Turkey below at $1.1B, the same rounded value as Indonesia’s. The 1.2% share of reported world imports is therefore matched by the next market down. Sellers should not read too much into who is nineteenth and who is twentieth.
What the numbers do say is that Indonesia is a top-twenty buyer among 96 reporting markets.
Indonesia’s total imports are $235.1B, of which this chapter is 0.5%. It ranks 40th among the country’s import chapters. Fuels at $40.7B, industrial machinery at $34.0B and electrical machinery at $27.2B lead the bill.
China, Singapore, Japan and the USA are the largest overall sources. As a cross-goods list it does not identify legume origins, but Singapore’s presence suggests some goods are routed through a regional trading centre.
Ask about volumes, packaging, and how the buyer distributes across a geographically spread country. Confirm the present import permit, plant-health and labelling requirements with the destination authorities before you commit.
Fix the Incoterm, currency, payment instrument and discharge port in writing, and ask which port serves the buyer’s warehouse.
The $1.1B covers the whole of HS chapter 07, edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers, so pulses are only part. Declarations for the latest year, re-exports and reporting gaps all affect the ranking.
