Country seeks to ease Indonesia's limitsMr Jurin, right, explained during talks with Mr Rachmat that Thai longan exports to Indonesia have seen some difficulties over the past 3-4 years. The longan imports must also be approved by Indonesia's ministries of agriculture and trade. Thailand and Indonesia have agreed to the JTC since 2011 but have never held the JTC meeting. Thailand sold a total of 925,000 tonnes of rice under G2G contracts to Indonesia under the previous agreement from 2012-16. Meanwhile, according to Mr Jurin, the Indonesian ambassador also asked Thailand to help raise imports of fresh shrimp and investment in Indonesia, especially in the tourism sector.
