Indonesia will pursue greater production in downstream industries and take over the world market in green products, President Joko ¡°Jokowi¡± Widodo said on Tuesday. Jokowi noted that Indonesia¡¯s commitment to strengthening its downstream industry had proved to be fruitful, as it allowed the country to gradually shift from selling raw materials to value-added goods. In the case of nickel, for instance, Jokowi said the downstream project had increased Indonesia¡¯s steel export value by 18 times compared with the last seven years, to Rp 306 trillion (US$20.7 billion) last year.
