- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's rice production volume in 2023 reached 53.98 million tons.
This achievement is down 1.4% compared to 2022 (year-on-year/yoy), and is the lowest on record since at least 2018.
This decrease in production volume is accompanied by a decrease in harvested area.
Quoting BPS data, in 2022 the national rice harvest area was still around 10.45 million hectares. Then in 2023, the area decreased by 2.29% (yoy) to 10.21 million hectares.
Despite the decrease in harvested area and production, Indonesia's rice productivity is recorded as having increased.
In 2022, each hectare of harvested area yielded approximately 5.24 tons of rice. Then in 2023, productivity increased by 0.9% (yoy) to approximately 5.29 tons per hectare.
National rice productivity has also consistently increased since 2020, reaching a new record in 2023.
