East Java, Indonesia's Largest Durian-Producing Province in 2023

According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia produced 1.85 million tons of durian in 2023. This volume increased by 17.05% year-on-year from the previous year's production of 1.58 million tons.

In 2023, East Java was recorded as the national province with the highest durian production, reaching 488,356 tons. This volume is equivalent to 26.36% of the total national production.

Meanwhile, the province with the lowest durian production was DKI Jakarta, with only 235 tons throughout last year. This was followed by Papua and West Papua, which produced only 650 tons and 3,504 tons of durian respectively.

The following are the 10 provinces with the largest durian production volume nationally in 2023:

1. East Java: 488,356 tons
2. Central Java: 197,963 tons
3. West Java: 158,693 tons
4. North Sumatra: 137,353 tons
5. South Sulawesi: 88,969 tons
6. Banten: 86,677 tons
7. Central Sulawesi: 74,326 tons
8. West Sumatra: 65,269 tons
9. Aceh: 61,220 tons
10. West Kalimantan: 53,841 tons

Citing the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia has diverse agro-ecosystem zones, resulting in a fairly long durian harvest period of approximately 8-9 months each year.

However, some areas have the potential to produce durian within 3-4 months, while others can harvest year-round.

Island regions generally can produce durian outside the main harvest season due to differences in climate, such as in Sebatik, Nunukan Regency, Riau Islands, Flores, and Papua.
