Genap sudah lima tahun nilai ekspor Indonesia mengalami penurunan terus menerus.
Tren penurunan terjadi pada semua kelompok barang. Yang cukup tajam dialami kelompok tambang & lainnya.
Namun, produk pertanian pun mengalami kemerosotan tajam.
Memang perdagangan dunia melemah, tetapi tetap tumbuh. Cukup banyak negara tetangga yang tidak sampai mengalami penurunan ekspor, walaupun pertumbuhannya turun.
