OVERVIEW

Indonesia, like other countries that are part of the global trade system, must adjust and become more competitive in order to deal with the foreign influx of goods and services into domestic economy under the web of international trade schemes. As a consequence of an increased flow of imported goods and services into the local market, the survival of some domestically produced goods and services becomes tenuous particularly those that cannot compete in terms of price and quality.

To ensure that locally produced goods and services have a place in their own country, the Government had issued policies to encourage their use by government institutions and the general public.
