Indonesia Charcoal Exports Are Rising in 2025—Here’s Why Global Buyers Are Paying Attention
(By CHARNESIA)
Indonesia’s Edge: Coconut Charcoal Briquette
In 2025, global attention is quietly shifting toward a product that’s been part of Indonesia’s roots for decades: charcoal especially coconut charcoal briquette.
While thermal coal exports from Indonesia have declined sharply this year, dropping around 12% year-on-year between January and April (Reuters, May 2025), a different story is unfolding in the alternative fuel space. More buyers from the Middle East, East Asia, and Europe are now turning to Indonesian charcoal as a cleaner, more stable solution for both shisha and barbecue markets.
At the heart of this growth is Indonesia’s natural advantage: coconut. As one of the world’s largest coconut producers, the country has direct access to the raw materials needed to create dense, low-ash, high heat charcoal briquette. And with rising concerns over product consistency and environmental impact, coconut shell charcoal has become a clear favorite in the premium market.
But material isn’t the only reason buyers are paying attention. Importers in 2025 are much more selective than they were just a few years ago. They want suppliers who not only provide a good product, but also understand export logistics, packaging preferences, and the importance of fast communication. With competition growing and customer expectations higher than ever, working with reliable partners is essential.
