As an equatorial, archipelagic country, Indonesia is an important producing country for various
agricultural and mining products. With a 250 million population and a 2016 GDP estimated at
$3,620 per capita, Indonesia has the potential to be the trading center of various products.
In 2016, JFX on-exchange volume has grown 26%. Our current products are based on Palm Oil,
Cocoa, Coffee, and Gold. Indonesia is the largest producer of Crude Palm Oil, and within the top
5(five) for Cocoa and Robusta Coffee. Whereas gold is an important investment instrument for the
majority of Indonesians.
The Indonesian government aims for Indonesian exchanges to become price references for these
commodities.
