President Joko Widodo reiterated that the government only allows the export of sea lane sediments that interfere with ship routes.

This was conveyed by Jokowi regarding the opportunity for downstreaming and the ban on the export of silica raw materials.

"What is allowed is a sand sediment that is on the sea lane for ships. Be careful, please look," said the President on the sidelines of a working visit in Gresik, East Java, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, September 23.

He said that apart from sediment, it is not allowed to be exported raw or raw materials.

"If that's not the case, that's not true. Because we need it, we will downstream everything, right, sand, silica, and others," he explained.

Jokowi said Indonesia also wants to become a semiconductor producer.

The President ordered related parties to immediately look for investor partners to cooperate.
