Lemhannas Suggests Declaring Tin as a National Strategic Commodity – ANTARA News

Andi Widjajanto, Governor of the National Defense Institute (Lemhannas) of Indonesia, has recommended that tin from Bangka Belitung Islands province (Babel) be designated as a strategic commodity to boost national economic growth. He suggests arranging the governance of tin mining from upstream to downstream to enable the downstreaming of the tin industry to the manufacturing industry. Lemhannas plans to use the results of the “2023 Long-Term Study Focus Group Discussion (FGD)” as inputs while conveying aspirations to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in accordance with the draft devised by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in July 2021. The governance of mining activities must be 100-percent legal to ensure it is in line with a rule-of-law state. All tin miners must be legal and pay attention to the people’s miners working together with state-owned PT Timah corporation.
