Based on data from the Ministry of Trade's Market and Basic Needs Monitoring System (SP2KP), the average national price of premium rice in December 2022 reached Rp13,000/kg.

This price increased by 5.7% compared to December 2021 (year-on-year/yoy), setting a record high in the last five years, as shown in the graph.

A similar increase occurred in medium-quality rice. In December 2022, the average national price of medium rice was Rp11,100/kg, up 7.8% (yoy) and the highest price since 2018.

Is Indonesian Rice the Most Expensive in Southeast Asia?

According to the World Bank, Indonesia has the highest rice prices in Southeast Asia.

"The retail price of rice in Indonesia is 28% higher than in the Philippines and double the price in Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand," stated the World Bank in its December 2022 edition of the Indonesia Economic Prospect report.

The World Bank attributes the high price of Indonesian rice to government policies that restrict trade through import tariffs, import monopolies by state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and other non-tariff measures.

Other contributing factors include the minimum purchase price at the farmer level, a lack of long-term investment in research and development in the agricultural sector, and limited development of human resources in agriculture.

The long supply chain from producer to consumer also contributes to higher rice prices. This is related to Indonesia's geographical conditions as an archipelago, resulting in higher distribution costs.
