Opportunity for Investment
Indonesia tea production is increasing, 166,9 thousand ton in 2001 became 190,2 thousand ton in year 2005.Export is also increasing. However, increase in production is not accompanied by increase in product quality.
This is proven by the fact that Indonesia tea quality is still below the quality of those from India (Calcutta Tea) and Sri Lanka (Colombo Tea)
According to data from BPS(2000) which was excerpted by CIC(2006), the advantages of investment in Indonesia are low operational cost relative to other countries and that there is a lot of room for expansion.
