The world is changing, and with it, the climate of business. More and more people are looking for ways to export their products and services, but they don't know what that actually means.
 
A clove is an aromatic bulb that has been used for centuries in Indian cuisine. Cloves are obtained from the fruit of "Cinnamomum verum" (the star Aniseed) and the scientific name means "smoke". The spice is produced by drying and grinding flower bud or pods of variety of clove fruits till dry enough for use in cooking.
 
The cloves are an aromatic spice that is used to make curry, chili or perhaps even perfume. Cloves are also used as curing agent on meat or seafood, flavoring food juices or making spiced drinks. Over the years, it has gained a reputation as a luxury good and some people have even started importing them from different countries. This can be a source of income for those people living in Indonesia.
 
Due to the recent increase in the demand for cloves, there has been a rise in the number of businesses that are exporting them. But there are still some people who do not know which country they must obtain their business license from.
 
Cloves are one of the world's most expensive commodities. To export them, you need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. But how much does it cost? And for which purpose? It is important to understand the economics behind this commodity, so that you can make informed decisions on how much you need to invest in transporting cloves.
 
When we talk about exporting cloves from Indonesia, we usually think of the main export market, namely Vietnam. But there are other countries that can also be exported to, such as Thailand and Malaysia. This "export" is made possible by the government policies that allow for cloves to be exported at low cost to other countries.
 
In the current economy, Indonesia is not only a consumer economy, but also a production economy. That means that there is a lot of demand for export cloves from Indonesia. In the past 10 years, Indonesia has been a major exporter of cloves. In 2001, Indonesia exported about 8 thousand ton of cloves. In 2013, the country was exporting about 1 million ton of cloves yearly.
 
The government has introduced a new policy on clove production which will help revive its production by increasing farmers' income and also decrease deforestation related costs.
