The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that Indonesia's total fresh potato imports reached US$41.29 million in volume of 92.78 million kg in 2021.

Germany was the largest source of Indonesia's potato imports, reaching US$11.5 million with a volume of 29.3 million kg. This was followed by imports from India totaling US$10.08 million (27.94 million kg).

Indonesia also imported fresh potatoes from Australia amounting to US$5.4 million (9.9 million kg). Meanwhile, potato imports from the UK and Canada were US$4.63 million (5.75 million kg) and US$4.19 million (8.19 million kg) respectively.

To date, Indonesia still needs to import potatoes for the food industry, specifically for french fries and potato chips.

While Indonesia's potato production is high, it only produces the type suitable for vegetables. Therefore, the Agricultural Research and Development Agency (Balitbangtan) is preparing two superior varieties of industrial potatoes.
