INDONESIA: INVESTMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Sustainable investment has grown significantly in Indonesia over the last decade as more investors are concerned about sustainability challenges. In line with this global trend towards sustainability and Indonesia’s goal to stimulate sustainable business, the Indonesian Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has developed a Sustainable Investment Guide, which serves as a starting point for business innovation and consumer demands for more sustainable economic practices.
OPENING OF THE TABLE GRAPE AND PEAR MARKET IN THAILAND
The Thai government will reopen the market for Spanish table grapes and pears after negotiations and a specific audit.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food will publish the information and regulations for the registration processes for future table grape and pear export seasons.
