Indonesia records US$60 million in potential deals with Central Africa
The Indonesian embassy said 19 agreements were reached at Trade Expo Indonesia 2026, including projects in tapioca, biogas and fertiliser.
Potential deals between Indonesia and Cameroon and other Central African countries reached an estimated US$60 million at Trade Expo Indonesia 2026, according to the Indonesian embassy in Yaounde. The expo took place in Tangerang on October 14-18.
The embassy brought 81 delegates from Central Africa to the second Indonesia-Cameroon Business Forum on October 16. Of the 19 agreements reached during the expo, 11 were signed at that forum.
Among the projects, Lampung-based PT Asindo Tech will construct a tapioca and biogas plant costing US$15 million in Diang with Cameroon's Nego Titans. Asindo will also build a US$10 million facility in the Central African Republic and secured a US$8 million river sand mining contract on Cameroon's Sanaga River.
PT Sri Tani Internasional agreed to market Nego Titans' surplus tapioca globally under an annual US$5 million offtake deal. Separately, PT Turrima Agro Mass and TMG Investment agreed on a US$15 million partnership for an organic fertiliser plant in Cameroon.
Shredded fish producer PT Ganiya Bogatama, backed by the Kutai Kartanegara government, secured a supply and technology-transfer agreement worth US$800,000 with Cameroon's Aqua Conv SA.
A separate business-matching session organised by the embassy and South Tangerang's government on October 15 produced six letters of intent valued at more than US$300,000. These covered fisheries in Cameroon, alongside Indonesian spices, processed foods and chemicals.
