Summary

TLDRIndonesia, despite not being a wheat producer, ranks fourth in the global export of wheat-based processed products, specifically instant noodles. The country imports wheat from countries like Australia, Ukraine, Canada, and South Africa, processes it into flour, and then into instant noodles. This production involves significant labor, from factory workers to managerial and logistics staff. Not only are these noodles consumed domestically, but they are also exported worldwide, with Australia being a major importer. This trade activity benefits Indonesia by filling commodity gaps, absorbing labor, and increasing tax revenue, while also expanding the market reach of domestic products and encouraging innovation.
