Indonesia has long stood as a cornerstone of the global cinnamon industry. As the world’s largest producer and exporter of Cassia cinnamon, the country plays a decisive role in shaping supply, pricing, and trade flows worldwide.

In 2025, Indonesia’s strategic position continues to strengthen, underpinned by vast cultivated areas, rising global demand, and government-backed sustainability initiatives.

Indonesia’s Cinnamon Export Performance in 2025

Recent updates on Indonesian cinnamon exports highlight the country’s continued dominance as a primary global supplier. Vietnam, for instance, relies on Indonesia for nearly 70% of its cinnamon imports, amounting to about 1,144 tons in early 2025.

Major cultivation areas in Sumatra and Java ensure consistent supply, while government initiatives focus on sustainable production and supply chain optimization, aligning with EU and US green standards.

Data from VPSA also shows that Indonesia, along with Vietnam and China, remains among the top three cinnamon-producing countries worldwide, with Indonesia often ranked highest in Cassia cinnamon exports.

Expanding Market Opportunities for Indonesian Cinnamon

Trade agreements such as RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) are opening new export opportunities for Indonesian cinnamon, particularly in emerging markets across Africa and Latin America.

Global demand for cinnamon is projected to grow by 8–12% annually, driven by the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Despite cautious sourcing trends by Vietnam, Indonesian cinnamon remains resilient and trusted in the international market.

Market Value and Industry Outlook

The Indonesian cinnamon market achieve revenues exceeding USD 172 million in 2025, supported by both domestic and international consumption.

With sustainable farming practices and optimized logistics, Indonesia is positioned not only as a supplier but also as a leader in global cinnamon trade.
