In this regard, measure 18 concerning self -sufficiency regulated in relevant laws has  been entirely 
revoked. With regard to measures 1 -17, Indonesia has also made significant amendments to the 
relevant Minister Regulations through removal of the measures at issue, including harvest period 
restriction, import realization requirements, six –month harvest requirement, reference price, and 
domestic purchase requirement.

the government's effort in providing comprehensive, detailed, and accurate data, a imed at 
transparently streamlining permit approval process. This mechanism is integrated with the national 
database system to provide business certainty without generating restriction on trade. Further, the 
system integration provided this mechanism has be en a major improvement to facilitate trade.
