Indonesia’s National Food Agency (Bapanas) has projected that the country could export approximately 52,900 tons of corn in 2026, signaling stronger agricultural productivity and resilient domestic supply. The projection reflects significant improvements in both the quality and quantity of national corn output, while ensuring that domestic demand remains fully met. With carryover corn stocks of around 4.5 million tons from 2025—enough to cover nearly three months of consumption—the government views this achievement as clear evidence that Indonesia reached corn self-sufficiency in 2025. This solid foundation supports confidence in maintaining a balanced supply-demand outlook throughout the year.

Looking ahead, Indonesia is expected to produce around 18 million tons of corn in 2026, which will serve as the backbone of national supply. On this basis, the government has decided not to import corn for animal feed, seed production, or household consumption, as domestic availability is considered sufficient. Corn stocks at the end of 2026 are projected to remain stable at around 4.5 million tons, helping safeguard supply security and price stability. To further support farmers, the government has set purchase prices at IDR 5,500 per kilogram for dry shelled corn at the farm level with moisture content of 18–20%, and IDR 6,400 per kilogram for corn meeting higher quality standards stored in Bulog warehouses.
