Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) indicates that up to the third quarter of 2016, Indonesia had imported 1.1 million tons of rice from abroad, valued at US$472.5 million. In the same period the previous year, the amount was only 229,600 tons, valued at US$99.8 million. Indonesia's largest rice suppliers are Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan. According to BPS, this rice import is intended to meet the specific rice needs of Japanese, Indian, and Middle Eastern restaurants and their communities in Indonesia. It is also for reserves and to anticipate price fluctuations.

However, the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan), through the Minister of Agriculture, refutes the BPS data. Kementan states that there is a misunderstanding regarding this import data. In 2015, Kementan did approve the import of more than 1 million tons of rice. However, the shipment to Indonesia was not all at once, but in stages. Therefore, this data represents rice newly arrived from the import policy of the previous year.
