The Indonesian government, as well as textile producers and exporters, stated that they hope to export more of their products to Turkey. Turkey has great potential as an export destination due to its strategic location despite many tariff and nontariff export barriers that Indonesian textile products face. "Turkey is an important hub to enter the markets in the Middle East, Europe and northern Africa. Turkey also is one of the largest producers of textiles and clothing in the world. Indonesia has the opportunity to boost the supply of raw materials like synthetic staple fiber, which was the country's largest export to Ankara in 2019, worth $366 million (TL 3 billion). To boost exports of textiles, the country is working on the Indonesia-Turkey Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IT-CEPA) to avoid additional tariffs," stated the Trade Ministry's director-general of foreign trade.
