BPS forecasts expansion of harvesting area and a nearly 9% increase in gross harvest in 2025.
Statistics Indonesia (BPS) expects a significant increase in corn harvesting area between November 2025 and January 2026. The agency forecasts harvested area to reach 0.62 million hectares, a 20.91% increase compared to the same period last year.
Deputy Director of the Service Distribution and Statistics Department, Puji Ismartini, reported that potential dry corn production (14% moisture) is estimated at 3.93 million tonnes, an increase of 18.96%.
However, the sector experienced a temporary decline in October 2025: harvested area decreased to 0.20 million hectares (-5.06% compared to October 2024), and production declined to 1.24 million tonnes (-7.47%).
Overall, the BPS forecasts Indonesia’s gross corn harvest in 2025 to reach 16.50 million tonnes, 9% higher than in 2024.
