Leading plantation commodities such as palm oil, rubber, coconut, coffee, cocoa, tea, spices and others are still directed at achieving the target of export values of up to 1.400 trillion in 2024, from the current condition of the country’s foreign exchange from plantation exports only reaching 400-500 trillion per year.
