Indonesia’s Export in Natural Resources

  

Indonesia is a country with tons of natural resources because of its geography place on earth. There are two types of natural resource, renewable and non-renewable. Renewable natural resource can be easily renewed within months or years such as fruits, vegetables, and many more. People renewed this type of resource by planting and harvesting. Unlike the renewable natural resource, the non-renewable natural resource will need millions of years to refurbished, and human cannot make them because it’s being made inside earth where people can’t take part.

Gas Exporting

Both renewable and non-renewable natural resource exist in Indonesia with large amount. Indonesia export these resource to other country in the world. Actually, Indonesia gets a lot of money by exporting their natural resource that the world like most. In this article, I will talk about the raw natural resources (non-renewable natural resource) in Indonesia that are being exported in huge numbers.

Indonesia raw natural resources are being sold to other countries in the world, especially to the countries with little amount of raw natural resources. The most of the countries that gets raw natural resources from Indonesia are the developed countries such as USA, Japan, Singapore, and many more. The natural resources are in example gases and oils. Indonesian community always dislike to see the government selling oils or gases to other country, but in other hand the 250 million population need money for the government program that helps them stay alive.

       Indonesia government has lots of program for peoples in the country, such as “Kartu Jakarta Sehat”, BLSM, and much more. The Indonesia government need more money in order to continue such programs. Therefore, Indonesia keep selling their natural resources so they get money from developed countries.

          People say that Indonesia raw natural resources are decreasing rapidly and having a risk of being endangered because Indonesia keep on selling them. But, what can Indonesia do so that the government still get money? Some people only give critics by doing demonstration but not giving ideas on how the government should act. What do you think Indonesia government should do with their natural resource? Should we (Indonesia) stop exporting them or should we increase the amount of it? I will give my opinion on that!

            So, Indonesia is a developing country with 250 million population. Indonesia is struggling to welfare all the country population, until now 30% of the Indonesia population are living under the poverty line. Selling natural exports to other countries will make Indonesia richer but making their natural resource endangered. It’s hard for me as an Indonesian to accept that but seeing people living under the poverty line makes me just allow it happened. Actually, not all the money are given to poor people, some also being invested to build infrastructure in my city.

        One day, I believe Indonesia must stop grabing raw natural resource before all of the resource are finished. One way that I think might be the breakthrough is by converting motor vehicle into electric vehicle so we (Indonesian) don’t depend on raw natural resources. Some people complain with the uncomfortable charging time of electric vehicle, it’s because the time needed to charge the vehicle is much longer than it is being used. Maybe this uncomfortable thing might need time to get used to, but I believe, one day scientist will find a better way to charge electronic vehicle so it won’t need a lot of time in charging it.
