Bulog Achieves Record Rice Procurement in 2025

Historic Milestone in Rice Procurement

Perum Bulog has reported a significant achievement in rice procurement for the year 2025, reaching a total of 3.191.969 tons (3.2 million tons) as of December 31, 2025. This substantial procurement was made possible through massive absorption of both paddy and rice from domestic sources. The breakdown shows that Bulog absorbed 4.537.490 tons of dry harvested paddy (GKP), 6.863 tons of dry milled paddy (GKG), and 765.504 tons of rice.

Strategic Impact on Food Security

The successful procurement has multiple strategic implications for Indonesia's food security and agricultural economy. Firstly, it represents the highest GKP absorption in Bulog's history, demonstrating the effectiveness of current procurement strategies. Secondly, this achievement strengthens the Government Rice Reserve (Cadangan Beras Pemerintah or CBP), enhancing national food security. Lastly, the massive GKP absorption directly supports farmers' incomes, potentially boosting rural economic activity.

Market and Economic Implications

The record procurement figures indicate a robust agricultural output in 2025, suggesting favorable harvest conditions. This achievement not only demonstrates Bulog's operational efficiency but also reflects successful government interventions in the agricultural sector. The scale of procurement suggests that farmers have benefited from either favorable market conditions or effective support mechanisms.

Future Outlook

As Bulog continues its critical role in stabilizing rice prices and ensuring food security, this achievement sets a positive precedent for future procurement strategies. The company's ability to absorb such large quantities of GKP indicates its crucial role in supporting both national food security and agricultural livelihoods.
