According to Trademap data, Indonesia imported US$1.47 billion worth of wheat and meslin from Australia throughout 2021.

This figure surged 515% compared to the import value in 2020, which was only US$239.84 million.

In terms of quantity, the volume of imported wheat and meslin also increased from 830,830 tons in 2020 to 4.69 million tons in 2021.

Previously, Indonesia's wheat and meslin imports from Australia had been steadily declining during the 2017-2020 period, as shown in the graph.

In 2022, the Indonesian and Australian governments agreed to strengthen cooperation in food security, including in the wheat commodity trade, which has been impacted by the Ukraine-Russia war.

This was stated by President Joko Widodo after receiving an official visit from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, earlier this week.

"It is important for us to strengthen food security. We discussed efforts to sustain the food supply chain, including wheat, amid this very difficult global situation," said President Jokowi, as quoted by Antara on Monday (June 6, 2022).
