According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia entered a period of rice scarcity, or its lowest rice production level, in October 2016. This month's rice production is estimated to reach only 3.9 million tons, a decrease compared to September's production of 5.1 million tons. This production decline will continue until the end of the year.
This decrease in rice production is due to the decreased intensity of rainfall in Indonesia from August to December. Furthermore, major rice-producing areas in Indonesia are currently in their planting season.
