Indonesia forecasts sharp decline in corn production in Q3 2025
Indonesia’s corn production in Q3 2025 is projected at 3.60 million tonnes (14% moisture), down 21.57% from last year, with harvested area falling 20.45% to 0.61 million hectares. BPS warns that weather, pests, and diseases could further reduce output, urging stronger risk mitigation to safeguard national corn supplies.
In Indonesia, a significant drop in corn production is forecast for the third quarter of 2025, raising concerns in the agricultural sector. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), corn production on a dry basis (14% moisture) in July-September is estimated at 3.60 million tonnes, down 21.57% from a year ago (4.59 million tonnes). “This is a preliminary estimate and may change depending on current field conditions,” said Puji Ismartiini, deputy head of distribution and service statistics at BPS.
The projected harvested area is also reduced to 0.61 million hectares, down 20.45% from the third quarter of 2024. The statistics include corn harvested early or used for animal feed.
The outlook could be further impacted by phytosanitary risks and weather factors such as pests, plant diseases, floods, drought and shifts in harvest schedules. Authorities are calling for increased risk mitigation measures to protect national corn stocks.
