Jakarta (Antara Bali) -- Batik exports from Indonesia increased significantly from US$32 million in 2008 to US$300 million in 2013.
"The United States, Germany and South Korea are the primary destinations of batik exports," Director General of the Ministry of Industry, Argo Panggah Susanto, said here on Tuesday.
As the demand for batik in international markets is high, the government should protect the intellectual property rights of batik makers to guarantee competition in the trade.
"The ministry has provided batik makers with protection by giving them trademarks, patent rights, trade confidentiality and industrial designs," Susanto stated. (WDY)
