Indonesia is aiming to absorb four million tons of government rice reserves (CBP) in 2026, according to Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman. The target was agreed upon in a meeting involving the state-run logistics agency Bulog and the National Food Agency (Bapanas).
Indonesia Targets Four Million Tons of Rice Reserve Absorption in 2026
Sulaiman stated the target is achievable through strong coordination among all stakeholders, including the central government, Bulog, and farmers, to ensure optimal rice production, absorption, and management.
Achieving the four-million-ton target could represent a new milestone in national food security, supported by an expansion of planted areas in 2026 of around 500,000 hectares compared with the previous year, according to the minister.
Bulog President Director Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani said the agency has strengthened its procurement strategy to prioritize the absorption of four million tons of rice reserves, in line with President Prabowo Subianto’s directive to maintain food self-sufficiency.
The 2026 target is an increase from the 2025 realization of three million tons. Bulog conducted early planning through a National Working Meeting on the evaluation of 2025 performance and the formulation of the 2026 work plan, held in Jakarta on January 11–12.
Ramdhani said Bulog will make maximum efforts to support sustainable food self-sufficiency through effective rice absorption, processing, and distribution across the country.
