Sixty textile firms closed in Indonesia between 2022 and 2024 and around 250,000 workers in the sector lost their jobs, according to the Association of Indonesian Filamentary Filament & Benang Producers (APSyFI).
The closures were triggered by the increasing illegal imports, APSyFI general chair Redma Gita Wirawatasta said.
Around two-fifths of goods entering Indonesia are not officially registered.
