On August 14, 2022, Indonesia received an award from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for its good food security and successful rice self-sufficiency during the 2019-2021 period.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 1999 definition, a country is considered self-sufficient if its rice production reaches 90% of national needs.

"For rice consumption, we have not imported any for the past three years. The development of dams and irrigation has supported increased national productivity," said President Jokowi in his 77th Indonesian Independence Day speech in Jakarta on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

Although Indonesia no longer imports rice for consumption, it still imports rice for industrial purposes.

Citing data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia imported 407,741 tons of rice in 2021. This figure is up from 356,286 tons in 2020.

Meanwhile, during the 2019-2021 period, the volume of Indonesian rice imports was lower than in previous years, as shown in the graph.
