A letter sent to us by an anonymous source regarding the kratom export ban in Indonesia.
"We wanted to inform you, that since 25th Feb 2013 all Kratom exports have been suspended from Indonesia. It’s not clear at this stage however we were quoted from DHL Jakarta the following:
Ministry of Food and Drug (BPPOM) issued A restriction letter to the quarantine office to not issued any quarantine certificate for this type of commodity for temporary. But I don't have the exact information since I think it still under review.
In addition to the above it has been confirmed by several Kratom farmers they are not permitted to send Kratom products at this time.
We do not know how long this restriction will be enforced however some of the largest US Kratom suppliers are out of stock.
As 95% of the worlds Kratom comes out of Indonesia we predict an inevitable world shortage looms."
We will update you more on this soon, hopefully with some good news!
