Jambi Container Terminal (IPC TPK Jambi) is strengthening support for cinnamon exports from Indonesia’s Kerinci region by optimizing logistics services at Talang Duku Port, as demand for the spice grows in international markets.
The effort follows a collaboration between PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) Regional 2 Jambi and Cassia Co-Op to improve export distribution for Kerinci cinnamon, one of Jambi province’s leading commodities.
Under the partnership, containerized cinnamon exports are targeted to reach 1,500 metric tons in 2026, with shipments bound for markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Indonesia is among the world’s largest cinnamon producers, contributing around 20% of global supply, while Kerinci is known as one of the country’s main production centers for export-grade cinnamon.
“As a terminal operator, we are ensuring efficient and integrated logistics services so distribution can run more smoothly and on schedule,” IPC TPK Jambi Area Operations Manager Wedhar Tani Aji said in a statement.
He said reliable port infrastructure and logistics systems were important to maintaining the competitiveness of regional commodities in global markets.
Wedhar added that Jambi also has export potential in other commodities, including coffee, rubber and areca nut, which could benefit from improved logistics connectivity and port services.
“This requires collaboration between the government, businesses, farmers and other stakeholders to maximize the region’s export potential,” he said.
The collaboration is expected to improve market access for local commodities and increase added value for farmers and businesses in the region, while strengthening Indonesia’s position in the global spice supply chain.
IPC TPK Jambi said it would continue improving operational efficiency and port services to support Talang Duku Port’s role as a gateway for exports from Jambi to international markets.
