Apart from palm oil, sago is a leading agricultural commodity in Riau Province. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Riau's sago production was the highest in Indonesia, reaching 274,807 tons in 2021.

Quoting the Ministry of Agriculture, the people of Riau have long used sago as an alternative carbohydrate source, processed into various traditional foods such as sepolet, gedegob, jala roti, lontong, and sago cendol.

Furthermore, sago starch is highly versatile and can be processed into various foods, such as sago noodles, sago biscuits, and Riau's signature sago rendang.

Sago cultivation in Riau thrives in lowland river areas and swamps, particularly in Indragiri Hilir, Bengkalis, and Kepulauan Meranti regions.

Besides Riau, Papua is the second-largest sago-producing province, with production recorded at 69,421 tons last year.

West Sulawesi follows with sago production of 10,269 tons. After that are South Kalimantan and Riau Islands, with production of 3,724 tons and 3,468 tons respectively.
