Coffee Annual

ID2024-0016
Indonesia’s 2024/25 coffee production is expected to recover to 10.9 million (60-kilogram) bags on favorable weather despite a delayed harvest in Southern Sumatera. Exports for 2023/24 are revised downward as production falls more steeply than previously estimated. Domestic consumption is expected at 4.8 million bags on projected stable economic growth.

Sugar Annual

ID2024-0015
Despite area expansion by private sugar mills, a long, drawn-out El Nino in 2023/24 reduced both sugarcane and plantation white sugar production. The ongoing impact of El Nino will be immediately followed by the onset of the 2024 dry season combined with a predicted La Nina at the end of 2024, which are forecast to further reduce sugarcane and plantation white sugar production. However, high international sugar prices in 2023/24 have reduced imports realization. Considering the increased demand for sugar from the recent general elections and consecutive religious festivities in early 2024, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) increased authorized import allocations for 2024/25.

Food Processing Ingredients Annual

ID2024-0012
Indonesia offers significant opportunities for U.S. ingredient suppliers to meet the demand for raw materials for its food processing industry. The United States is the third largest agricultural supplier to Indonesia, with an 11-percent market share. Soybeans and dairy products made up about half of all U.S. agricultural products shipped to Indonesia in 2023. Other top U.S. agricultural product exports to Indonesia in 2023 included feeds and fodders, cotton, corn, wheat, fresh fruits, and beef and beef products. Halal certification will become mandatory for many foods/ingredients/additives and for all processed food products starting on October 17, 2024.

Cotton and Products Annual

ID2024-0011
The global economic slowdown and illegal imports of cheaper textile products continue to hinder the growth of the Indonesian textile and textile products industry in 2023/24. To assist the struggling sector, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) is implementing new textile import restrictions that also limit the number of certain items in the luggage content of travelers. The enforcement of the regulation is expected to improve spinning mill utilization and increase 2023/24 cotton consumption.

Grain and Feed Annual

ID2024-0010
The Red Sea conflict is not expected to pose significant threats to Indonesian grain imports. Driven by demand from the recent general elections, as well as high local corn prices, imports of wheat for food and feed consumption are estimated to increase for 2023/24. Post-election demand for wheat and rice are forecast to be corrected in 2024/25.

Oilseeds and Products Annual

ID2024-0004
Indonesia palm oil production is forecast to rise marginally to 47 million metric tons (MMT) in 2024/25 on expected recovery from extreme weather in 2023. The mandatory biodiesel program continues to absorb significant domestic palm oil consumption, limiting exportable volumes. Feed industry growth pushed soybean meal use up to 5.8 MMT in 2024/25.

Dairy and Products Annual 

ID2023-0033
Although Indonesian dairy production is still reeling from the 2022 Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak, imports of dairy ingredients are expected to decline in 2023. Dairy importers are reporting a 10 to 20 percent drop in demand in 2023 due to a multitude of factors, including problems obtaining import recommendations and licenses, decreased consumer purchasing power, and election uncertainty. Post estimates Indonesia’s total dairy consumption in 2022 and 2023 at 4.22 and 3.7 MMT respectively. Dairy consumption in 2024 is anticipated to rebound to 4 million metric tons as post-election economic conditions are expected to stabilize.
