View of factory and tea garden Pabrik Teh Danau Kembar PTP. Nasuntara IV in Indonesia. Indonesia currently ranks number eight on the list of largest global tea producers. In the past it has been higher up that list but the lucrative business prospects of palm oil have caused the tea output to stagnate as some tea plantations were transformed into palm oil plantations. But tea estates have also been given up for the production of vegetables and other crops that are considered more profitable. Despite the resulting decrease in land acreage tea production has remained relatively stable. This indicates that the remaining tea estates have become more productive. Approximately 65 percent of the Indonesian tea production is exported. The main countries of export destination are Russia, Great Britain, and Pakistan. Export is dominated by large plantations, both state-owned and private, while the majority of smallholders are more oriented towards the domestic market (which is not big as Indonesia contains a low rate of per capita tea consumption). This orientation towards the export market has implications for the Indonesian tea sector as it is highly dependent and vulnerable to the international market, in particular regarding the tea price. When supply exceeds demand in the international market, domestic prices fall sharply. This affects smallholder farmers severely, as they need to sell their tea at lower prices (which hardly compensate production costs). Similar to other commodities, Indonesia relies on the export of bulk tea, which is a primary (upstream) product. The weak development of Indonesia's downstream tea industry curtails the competitiveness of the Indonesian tea industry on the international market. The export of downstream tea products is only around 6 percent of total tea exports.
