The exchange rate reached USD 1 for Rp 15,500 in W44 in Indonesia. Consequently many buyers are recalculating the cost of imported corn starch and potato starch.

As a result potato and corn starch importers, who normally import around 2–3 FCLS/ month, are expected to import about 1 FCL/month due to low demand.
