JAKARTA/BRUSSELS - What started as a spat with the European Union over Indonesian palm oil has escalated into a far broader trade dispute with imported European spirits and now dairy products caught in the crossfire.
Shipments of EU alcohol had been stranded in containers and warehouses, while some brands had run out of stock, according to the letter seen by Reuters. The EU biodiesel market is worth an estimated 9 billion euros a year, with imports from Indonesia worth about 400 million euros, according to the European Commission. Last year, the bloc consumed more than 7 million tonnes of palm oil, with 65% of it used for energy.
Another bar owner said his premises had started to feel the impact in the last six months with some European beer brands no longer available and spirits more difficult to get hold of.
