Why Indonesia

Spotlight on Indonesia – World’s largest exporter by 2010?

IBC’s 14th World Rice Commerce 2009 is set in Indonesia where recent investor activity and government policy make it a country that has potential to be the next big player in the rice supply chain.

  • Interest in agri investments in Indonesia’s vast resources and productive lands is high as governments of rice importing nations, including the Middle East countries, recommend an increase in investments abroad.
  • Indonesia will allocate a significant portion of farm land to joint ventures with Saudi investors to be used mainly for the cultivation of rice. The move would turn Indonesia into the world's top rice exporter. Saudi BinLadin Group has planned to invest close to $3 billion in Indonesia's ricefarming industry on 500,000 hectares of land in the Papua province.
  • The Government has announced its plan to develop the Merauke Integrated Food & Energy Estate (MIFEE) and once completed, it is expected to be one of the biggest commodities producing hubs in Asia.
  • In addition, Indonesia produced a rice surplus of about 1-1.2 million tonnes in 2008 due to bumper harvests. The country is looking into exporting some of its rice surplus to help ease food shortage.
