COVID cases are increasing by the day and there is no sign of plateau yet.
Currently there are about 48000 official cases with around 2500 deaths. Mind you, these are “official” statistics.
Meanwhile, due to the Dollar weakening and Fiscal Stimulus, IDR is getting stronger.
It went up all the way to 13900 and currently hovering around 14200 levels against the Dollar. Basically, a correction of about 7% in the short term and 14% in the Medium Term!
Island wise lockdown is still in force, although the new normal is underway in cities like Jakarta.
As a result of this, container, cargo as well as labor availability remains as a challenge.
Cloves:
Arrivals haven’t started yet.
Contrary to the belief of many that Indonesia will have another big crop like last year, it seems that it is not as big as was initially expected.
Making matters worse, there is an acute crisis of Labor.
Thumb rule is, at any growing area of Clove, there are more tree than people to pick the cloves. As a result of this, Clove owners tend to outsource people from adjoining islands during the picking season.
Now that most of the islands are following their self-imposed exile or 14 days of Quarantine, there is a strong possibility that net availability of cloves will remain low even at the peak season.
We also heard that one of the big boys has either started to purchase or will start soon. But the
exact time and quantity is difficult to predict.
