Indonesia’s record rice production is making a significant impact on the global market, easing rice prices and reinforcing global food security. According to the Head of the National Food Agency (Bapanas), Andi Amran Sulaima, Indonesia’s strong crop output and strategic agricultural reforms have played a key role in stabilizing international food prices.

Further, the surge in Indonesia’s rice production has also strengthened the Government Rice Reserve (CBP), which now totals 3.8 million tonnes. Notably, Indonesia is one of the major rice producing countries. Though like India and Pakistan, the nation is not much advanced in producing basmati rice but however it has developed a local hybrid variety of basmati rice.

Experts suggest that Indonesia’s record harvest not only supports domestic needs but also influences international rice exports and food security trends. By boosting local crop output, the country has emerged as a stabilizing force in the global rice market, setting a benchmark for other developing economies striving for agricultural resilience.
