Indonesia Achieves Food Self-Sufficiency in 2025

Government Announcement and Delay

The Indonesian government has announced that the country will achieve food self-sufficiency in 2025, with rice and corn being the primary staples. According to Wakil Menteri Pertanian Sudaryono, the official announcement may be delayed due to the current focus on disaster recovery efforts.

Production Data and Confirmation

Production data will continue to be recorded until December 31, 2025, and early January 2026, to confirm the achievement of food self-sufficiency. If there are no imports of these commodities, then Indonesia will officially be self-sufficient in food production.

Implications and Next Steps

This achievement is a significant milestone for Indonesia, demonstrating the country's ability to produce its own food and reduce dependence on imports. The government will likely continue to monitor production data and adjust policies to ensure sustained food self-sufficiency.
