which was replaced by Trade Ministry Regulation No the government has repeatedly changed the policy since 2004 The policy changes include a ban on the export of raw and semi-processed rattan of certain diameters These policy changes were also influenced by certain conditions such as a shortage of raw materials in the rattan furniture industry and the influx of foreign rattan furniture made from Indonesian raw materials into the domestic market The policy changes range from prohibiting the export of raw and semi-processed rattan with a certain diameter to raw rattan Also read: Industry Downstreaming and Development the classic issue continues to arise and repeat The rattan furniture industry often complains about the shortage of raw materials while rattan producers often echo that

Medium Enterprises stated that there is an anomaly in the national rattan industry the rattan furniture industry experiences a shortage of raw materials there is an inappropriate upstream and downstream policy The industry cannot absorb all the production of semi-finished rattan Teten announced that the potential of rattan in Central Kalimantan is around 10,000 tons per month but only a

products was 115.6 million US dollars this value increased to 186.8 million US dollars It shows that the ban on rattan exports can increase the export of rattan furniture the export ban also

from the Indonesian Rubber Manufacturers Association (Gapkindo) the number of rubber factories in Indonesia in 2017 was 152 This number continued to decrease to 107 factories in 2022 45 closed factories had a total capacity of 1.4 million tons per year while the rubber factories that are currently operating have a total capacity of 4.2 million tons per year Gapkindo said the closure of the crumb rubber factory was due to a shortage of raw material supplies Industries that still survive are forced to import rubber raw materials The decline in rubber production occurred due to the conversion of rubber land to oil palm as well as the low productivity of rubber plantations because they are 20-30 years old (Kompas Also read: Rubber Factory Closing May Continue Amid the ongoing ban on rubber exports and supply shortages BPS noted that the value of rubber exports and the area of rubber plantations in Indonesia have increased while rubber production has tended to decline that were

million hectares in 2022 national rubber production plummeted to 2.88 million tons which are also Indonesia's main commodities are treated with the same seriousness as the government's flagship program there are issues in the national rubber industry that need to be addressed where concrete solutions are needed to overcome anomalies in supply and demand It is not enough for the government to only stop at export ban policies Upstream-downstream arrangement of rattan and rubber industries is also necessary The rattan industry requires strong integration between raw material suppliers and industry actors and expanding the rattan furniture and craft markets both domestically and abroad the rubber industry requires rejuvenation of rubber plants to increase production The government also needs to address the conversion of rubber lands as well as grow the market and downstream rubber in the country This downstream does not only cover the downstream finished product industry but also the intermediate industry (intermediate) which are also main commodities of Indonesia will be treated as seriously as the government's pride program It is not enough to merely ban the export of rattan

desire, identity Kwang Hyun Kim’s (金光賢) solo show makes Taiwan debut. (Dopeness Art Lab photo) 2469TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Contemporary South Korean artist Kwang Hyun Kim (金光賢) is holding his first solo exhibition in Taiwan, titled “OHEA,” through Nov. 17. The title “OHEA,” derived from the Korean word for “misunderstanding,” is central to the show’s theme. Influenced by Surrealism, Kim transforms Taipei’s Dopeness Art Lab into a fantastical space.  Born into an artistic family in Busan, Kim graduated from Kyung Sung University with a degree in traditional Korean painting. He has extensive experience restoring ancient Japanese Buddhist artifacts, which has informed his understanding of Eastern culture.  His work blends traditional Asian aesthetics with contemporary techniques. The exhibition’s central theme is “misunderstanding.” Kim challenges the traditional one-way communication between art and viewer, inviting audiences to actively participate in creating meaning. Kim’s two signature characters, Pipzin and Gatak, explore power, desire, and identity. Pipzin, an androgynous figure, symbolizes the human pursuit of ideals and truth. Gatak, a self-projection of the artist, embodies a desire for power and social status. Kim’s works often feature imperfect mythical creatures, such as one-eyed phoenixes and blind turtles. These imperfections are metaphors for the flaws and imbalances within modern power structures. The character of Gatak embodies the contradictions within the pursuit of power. As both a seeker and observer of power, Gatak highlights the complexities of human ambition.  Through the lens of “misunderstanding,” Kim invites viewers to reconsider their understanding of power and social change. 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Taiwan News 台灣英文新聞（@taiwannews_）分享的貼文 South Korean artist’s solo exhibition makes Taipei debut Rare Sanyu masterpiece on display in Taipei Sanyu and remembrance of times past in new Paris-tinged exhibition Taiwan Creative Content Expo a home run for culture New York-based artist Jon Burgerman's 'Family' draws crowds in Taipei Taiwan dollar hits NT$29 per US dollar triggering currency exchange rush Magnitude 5.5 earthquake strikes off east Taiwan Taipei MRT reminds passengers of drinking water ban Four Vietnamese residents found dead in northern Taiwan Vietjet flight makes unscheduled landing in Taiwan Central Bank steps in as Taiwan dollar posts strong single-day gain Rising Taiwan dollar over Trump tariffs has pros and cons Taiwan ranked 2nd most innovative country in world US tech earnings spark Taiwan stock market rally Central Bank says US did not push Taiwan to appreciate currency Microsoft: Windows 11 24H2 now ready to rollout to everyone Unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials investigates hack Darcula PhaaS steals 884,000 credit cards via phishing texts Google fixes actively exploited FreeType flaw on Android Microsoft unveils new AI agents that can modify Windows settings This 2TB FileJump deal gives you cloud storage for life Linux wiper malware hidden in malicious Go modules on GitHub How to access the Dark Web using the Tor Browser How to enable Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection in Windows 11 How to backup and restore the Windows Registry Remove the Theonlinesearch.com Search Redirect Remove the Smartwebfinder.com Search Redirect How to remove the PBlock+ adware browser extension Remove the Toksearches.xyz Search Redirect Remove Security Tool and SecurityTool (Uninstall Guide) How to Remove WinFixer / Virtumonde / Msevents / Trojan.vundo How to remove Antivirus 2009 (Uninstall Instructions) How to remove Google Redirects or the TDSS CryptoLocker Ransomware Information Guide and FAQ CryptorBit and HowDecrypt Information Guide and FAQ CryptoDefense and How_Decrypt Ransomware Information Guide and FAQ Websites offering free keygens for various enterprise software applications are helping crooks spread the Gatak malware which opens backdoors on infected computers and facilitates attacks on a company's internal network Gatak is a backdoor trojan that first appeared in 2012.
