In a bid to protect national industry and preserve the country's natural resources deposit, Indonesia plans to stop mineral commodity export by 2014.
A senior official at Indonesian government said that the ongoing massive mineral commodity export would drain out natural resources deposits and exacerbate national industry due to the lack of fuel originated from natural resources to run manufactures.
Director General International Industry Cooperation at the industry Ministry Agus Tjahajana said that the plan to stop mineral resources export would be applied to all countries to which Indonesia used to export its mineral commodities, including China, India, Japan, the United States and South Korea.
