Expo Commodities Indonesia was established as our second expansion in the East Asian region in 2018. Through our operations in Indonesia, we have added Cloves, Nutmeg, Mace, Long Pepper, Cubeb, Betel Nuts, Cassia, and Coffee to our global spice and ingredient category, thus allowing our buying partners to source almost all Asian spices from one company with total traceability.
