Rice Production Indonesia

Rice Production Indonesia

Indonesia ranks 3rd in the world in regards to total rice production, but has also been the world’s 7th largest rice importer over the past 9 years .

Of the top ten global rice producing nations, only the Philippines and Indonesia also rank in the top ten of all rice importers. Owing to the perennial shortfall of rice production, food security and the pursuit of national rice self-sufficiency have become predominant concerns of the government in Indonesia.

Approximately 80 percent of total rice area in Indonesia is irrigated, while the remaining 20 percent relies on rainfall. Rice is grown year-round, with some farmers being able to cultivate 3 crops within a given 12-month period. It is far more common for growers to cultivate 2 rice crops per year, with the typical seasonal crop cycles or rotations being rice-rice-fallow or rice-rice-secondary crops (corn, soybean, peanut).
