Although the signed negotiated agreement was meant to enter into force on 1 January 2010 for Indonesia, the government delayed ratifying the agreement because of concerns it would negatively impact local producers. It was eventually ratified in late 2011 and came into force on 10 January 2012. While discussion have occurred with potential partners such as the United States, the European Union and Chile, Indonesia has established only one bilateral trade agreement, with its largest trading partner Japan.
