Home > Tanah Abang


Tanah Abang is located in Central Jakarta . It hosts the biggest textile market in Southeast Asia. The market has been known to exist since 1735.

It is the only market in Indonesia that contributes 9% to the GDP. Strangely, no research centre can predict accurately the daily profit of the retailer [1].

The market is the distributor of textiles to various provinces.

A small part of the market was destroyed by the fire in February 2003. The cause of fire remains as a controversial issue. Most people put the blame on overcrowding and political motive.
