"Pegatron, a Taiwanese electronics manufacturing company, is shifting some of its production for Apple products, mainly iPads and MacBooks, from China. This is due to the rising trade dispute between the US and China. Apple is one of the key players that can be affected due to trade sanctions. Pegatron has recently partnered with PT Sat Nusapersada which will start assembly in June 2019, as per their CEO. Key players are looking outside China for assembling phones and other electronics, due to rising trade tensions. Vietnam, India, and Indonesia are a few options available. Pegatron also looked at Vietnam, which has a mature ecosystem, but later chose Batam, Indonesia. Key reasons for choosing Indonesia was rising investment, availability of skilled labor, and a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) agreement between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore."- Parv Sharma
