Manado, N. Sulawsi, June 27 (Antaranews Sulut) - North Sulawesi exported 12,200 tons worth US$12.85 million of Crude Coconut Oil (CCO) to the Netherlands earlier this month.
Demand for CCO is high and has continued to increase in Europe, head of the foreign trade division at the provincial Industry and Trade Service Darwin Muksin said here on Wednesday.
Darwin said currently the price of CCO declined in international market but the contracts with buyers abroad already signed before the price fall.
"Exports, therefore, continue with price as agreed in the contract," he said.
The government facilitates exports of the provincial major commodity, he said.
North Sulawesi is the country`s largest producer of coconut oil.
The province has also exported coconut flour to a number of countries such as to Germany, Russia, the Netherlands, China and Egypt.
In the third week of June, North Sulawesi exported 26 tons worth US$48,100 worth of coconut flour to Germany.
Earlier this month exports to Russia totaled 78 tons valued at US$90,476. (AS/H-YH)
