Rice Import Development in Indonesia

Abstract

Rice consumption in Indonesia has risen as the population increasing rapidly. The structure of the young age population will influence the amount of per capita of rice consumption. The rice cultivating and production will also determine whether or not it will fulfil the needs. The present research aimed at analyzing Indonesian rice import within the last decade (2010 – 2019). The research method used was a literature review. The research result shows that within the last 10 years, the width of the rice cultivating and production area have been declining as much as 1,8% and 1.6% respectively. However, the rice productivity rate is still in positive number at 2.0%. Eventhough the household consumption declined as much as 2% annually, apparently this was not enough for Indonesia to fulfil the needs internally. In short term period, an import would be a solution to fulfil the needs for domestic rice consumption. On the other hand, for a longer term, an import can be a problem because the rice trade balance with be disrupted. A small number of rice export volume will result in a rice trade balance deficit in Indonesia.

Genealogi Kebijakan Beras Indonesia 1998-2021

“…439 yang menetapkan bea masuk impor sebesar nol persen yang mempermudah arus beras impor masuk ke Indonesia. Hal ini mempermudah swasta untuk turut mengimpor beras, pengurangan tingkat subsidi impor beras yang dilakukan BULOG juga merupakan kondisi yang didorong oleh IMF dengan dukungan Bank Dunia yang harus dijalankan oleh Indonesia setelah menandatangani LOI (Hermawan, 2016;Pudjiastuti et al, 2021;Vinita, 2012). Pemerintah juga tidak berpaling dari usaha peningkatan produksi pangan walaupun beras masih menjadi fokus utama dengan kebijakan Gerakan Mandiri (GEMA) untuk menunjang produksi PALAGUNG (Padi, Kedelia, Jagung) (Kementerian Pertanian RI, 2010: 61-62).…”

“…Seiring dengan pertumbuhan penduduk, kebutuhan akan bahan pangan ini juga meningkat. (Pudjiastuti et al, 2021) menyebutkan bahwa konsumsi beras di Indonesia meningkat sangat cepat karena pesatnya pertumbuhan penduduk, sehingga dilakukan impor beras karena produksi domestik tidak mampu memenuhinya. Sementara itu, (Pudjiastuti & Kembauw, 2018;Pudjiastuti, 2014;Pudjiastuti et al, 2013) menyatakan kekhawatirannya bahwa impor secara terus menerus dapat mengganggu kondisi ekonomi makro.…”

The Analysis of Rice Massive Importing in Indonesia Based on Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, International Economics and Politic Economics

“…2023) analysed the rice consumption in Indonesia. The consumption of rice in Indonesia has been on the rise as a result of population expansion, while the domestic output has been experiencing a decline (Pudjiastuti, Aris, & Krisnandika, 2023). Consequently, Indonesia has resorted to importing rice in order to fulfil its local requirements.…”
