The Indonesian government is working to increase the export of fruit products to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is a potential market for tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, mangosteen, mango, and rambutan. In 2019, Indonesia exported 12.5 thousand tons of pineapple to the UAE, generating 7.8 million US dollars. Despite being the 19th largest fruit exporter to the UAE, Indonesia sees potential for growth in the market. The UAE, with a population of 9.8 million, predominantly consisting of expatriates, presents a market where fruits and vegetables that are similar to those from Indonesia are popular.
