Rice market in Indonesia - statistics & facts
Serving as a staple for most of Indonesia’s population, rice holds an important role in the country’s economic and cultural landscapes. Indonesia ranks among the world’s largest rice producers and has taken the lead in Southeast Asia. However, despite its vast production, the country still relies heavily on imports to meet its demand, ranking as the third-largest rice importer globally. Marked by record-high prices in 2023, rice has notably accounted for the highest inflation among other consumer commodities in the country.
