Indonesia Grain and Feed Annual Report 2014

In marketing year (MY) 2013/14, Post expects Indonesian wheat imports to increase to 7.2 MMT from 7.146 MMT MY 2012/13 (less than 1 percent). Post also expects Indonesian corn imports to grow by 14.8 percent to 3.1 MMT in MY 2013/14, an increase of 900,000 MT over Post’s previous estimate of 2.2 MMT. Post estimates that MY 2013/14 corn and rice (milled equivalent) production will increase to 9.1 MMT and 37.355 MMT respectively. Increased corn import estimates are based on expected feed production increases in calendar year (CY) 2014. Estimated production increases also reflect a higher use of hybrid corn seed and high-yielding paddy seeds varieties despite a decline in harvested areas.
