Indonesian corn, rice production returning to normal levels

from the previous year. For the 2025-26 crop year, production is estimated at 13.6 million tonnes on increased harvested area and improved yields. Due to the increase in supply, feed mills are using more corn in feed formulations, reducing wheat for feed consumption. Feed mills are estimated in 2024-25 to produce a total of 21.4 million tonnes of poultry feed, while aquaculture feed is estimated at 1.8 million tonnes. Poultry feed production in 2025-26 is expected to increase 3% to 23.3 million tonnes while aquafeed will remain stable at 1.8 million tonnes. “Higher local corn production that led to softening prices in 2024-25 will provide feed mills the opportunity to increase corn usage in their feed formulation to 48% from the initial estimate of 45% to 46%,” the FAS said. “Assuming improved corn production, feed mills estimate that corn usage in feed formulation can be increased to 50% in 2025-26.” The FAS estimates that 2024-25 paddy production will slightly reduce to 53.7 ...
