Indonesia expects corn production to rise by 41.38%
Indonesia’s National Food Agency (NFA) is optimistic about a significant increase in maize production in early 2025 following a bumper harvest in February. According to the Central Statistics Agency, maize production in the first quarter of 2025 is projected to increase by 41.38% from the previous year.
Based on the KSA data, the BPS forecasts maize production with 14% moisture content to increase by 1.4 million tonnes. The estimated production volumes are 1.33 million tonnes in January, 1.39 million tonnes in February and 2.08 million tonnes in March, totaling 4.81 million tonnes. In comparison, only 3.40 million tonnes were recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
NFA head Arief Prasetyo Adi stressed the importance of the state’s absorption of maize production to strengthen the nation’s food reserves. With the government setting the procurement price at US$0.34 per kg, the aim is to ensure fair prices for farmers while maintaining adequate supplies.
