The Director of Electronics and Telematics Industry at the Ministry of Industry Janu Suryanto said a number of electronic products were depressed due to heavy imports. In addition to fiber optic cables, he said, the speaker device and the light emitting diode (LED) lamp were also depressed.
This condition affects the utility of domestic production. For fiber optic cables, Janu said that the domestic installed production capacity reached 180,000 km per year.
However, the utility only reaches 40% -50%. "Imports are rising and selling prices are much lower," he told Bisnis on Tuesday (11/26/2019).
Janu said that he wanted to encourage protection of optical fiber products. "In essence, it must be limited to imports of finished goods."
Previously, Janu said that his party would facilitate the proposed safeguards or urgent safeguards given to the loudspeakers and optical fiber devices in the midst of massive imports of these products. The security measure, he said, had been requested by the producers of the two products.
"The loudspeaker and optical cable. I am waiting for a letter from a company that feels disadvantaged," he said.
In addition to increased imports, Janu assesses that foreign products entering Indonesia are sold at far cheaper prices than local products. That condition, he explained, depressed local products.
