00:00The price of milk produced by farmers in the country
00:03was claimed as a result of the tax exemption policy
00:06against imported milk products.
00:08The Ministry of Trade was also asked to review
00:11the Free Trade Agreement, or the Free Trade Agreement
00:15related to the commodity.
00:18In response, the Minister of Trade, Budi Santoso,
00:21met with the Joint Working Committee of the 6th DPRRI Commission
00:25in Jakarta on 20 November,
00:27and confirmed that the policy of importing milk,
00:30especially from partner countries,
00:32such as Australia and New Zealand,
00:34has been regulated by the existing instruments.
00:37According to him, the review of the Australian-New Zealand
00:40Free Trade Agreement and the Indonesia-Australia
00:44Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement
00:47can be done, but it will take a long time.
00:51If the milk imports have been regulated
00:54in the 6th DPRRI Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement,
00:58every import must be recommended by the technical committee.
01:03We have communicated with the technical committee
01:08whether the requirements of the recommendation
01:13must include the application of local milk by the industry.
01:19For example, we will discuss the mechanism.
01:23That may be the fastest way.
01:25The Ministry of Trade also emphasized that
01:28the imported milk from New Zealand and Australia
01:31is generally skim milk powder, not fresh milk,
01:34so it is considered not directly competitive
01:37with the fresh milk produced by farmers in the country.
