According to a report from the World Bank, global commodity prices this year have increased by around 5% compared to the previous year, driven by high demand from large countries such as the United States, China, and OPEC countries. Heavy equipment plays an important role in supporting the main sectors of the world commodity economy, especially in Indonesia.
