Food Products from Palestine that are Widely Sold in Indonesia

Produk Makanan dari Palestina yang Banyak Dijual di Indonesia

Dream - Zionist Israel continues to launch attacks on the Gaza Strip, Palestine, despite the world urging for a temporary ceasefire. Such arbitrary actions have provoked the anger of the global community, leading to campaigns advocating for boycotting Israeli products in their respective countries.

Israel is known to export many of its products abroad. It is widely circulated that some of the products from the Zionist country are made in the Palestinian-controlled areas. In terms of trade, the Indonesian government has facilitated the exemption of import duties to Indonesia for Palestinian products since 2019.

The provision is stipulated in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 126/PMK.010/2018 regarding the determination of import duties in the framework of trade facilitation for certain products originating from the Palestinian territory. So, what are the food products from Palestine that are widely circulated in Indonesia?

"Kurma Medjool" (English translation: "Medjool Dates")

Quoting Merdeka.com, the Palestinian product that is widely circulated in Indonesia is dates. One of its flagship export products is Medjool Dates. This type of dates is known for its jumbo size, sweet taste, and soft texture.

Olive oil

Besides dates, olive oil is included in the goods from Palestine that are exempt from import duties. The reason is that dates and olive are products that are not widely produced in Indonesia, so the government implements the elimination of import tariff.

Smoked Almond

This product is known as the Smoked Almonds Zyatunn brand from Palestine. It is presented in luxurious packaging and roasted in a unique way, following the traditions of the country.

"Wheat Green"

There are two well-known Palestinian green wheat products, namely Al Durra with Green Freekeh and Yaffa with Palestinian Freekeh. Freekeh is a Middle Eastern food made from roasted green wheat. This food contains high fiber, making it healthier.

"On the other hand, Indonesia also imports products from Israel. According to the records of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), from January to September 2023, the value of imported products to Indonesia from Israel reached US$14.4 million or around Rp266 billion."

Plt. Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, acknowledged that Indonesia has not had diplomatic relations with Israel. However, it does not mean that the two countries cannot engage in trade.
