Food and Agriculture Team

Agricultural Sector

Agriculture remains a core of Indonesia’s economy, supporting rural livelihoods, national food security, and export performance.
In 2024, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries contributed 12.6% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and recorded 10.52% year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2025. Growth was supported by significant increases in staple crop production, particularly rice and maize.
Agricultural exports have remained stable at approximately IDR 9.25–10.94 billion (USD 550–600 million) per month since late 2024.
In the livestock subsector, food security remains a priority. However, pork supply still shows a relatively high degree of import dependence, particularly for specific cuts (pork belly) and processed products, as domestic production capacity has not yet fully met industrial and consumer demand.
In the fisheries sector, Indonesia prioritizes sustainable aquaculture expansion—particularly shrimp and other export-oriented species—alongside the implementation of quota-based capture fisheries management.

Industry Indonesia’s food and beverage sector is one of the largest contributors to manufacturing output, supported by a domestic market of over 270 million consumers.
F&B expanded by 6.49% in the third quarter of 2025 and contributed 41.06% to non-oil and gas manufacturing GDP.
Exports reached IDR 552 billion (USD 32.79 billion) in January–August 2025, representing 22.31% of total non-oil and gas manufacturing exports.
Investment realization totalled IDR 80.48 trillion (USD 4.77 Billion) in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting continued investor confidence.
