<![CDATA[The United States is one of Indonesia's main trading partners in the export of furniture products, particularly teak furniture from Jepara. Although the export value of Jepara’s teak furniture has shown significant growth from 2021 to 2023, Indonesia's market share in the U.S. remains small and is under strong pressure from competitors such as China and Vietnam. While the market potential is substantial, Indonesia faces global challenges such as potential U.S. import tariffs and the absence of a free trade agreement between the two countries. On the other hand, product quality, global image, and digitalization support serve as Indonesia’s competitive advantages.

With the right strategies, this sector is expected to strengthen its contribution to the national economy and expand its reach in the global market.]]>
