Total national rice output this year is expected to rise by 0.88 percent to 64.9 million tons, the Central Statistics Agency said on Monday.
Rusman Heriawan, chairman of the agency, also known as the BPS, said the country was on track to maintain self-sufficiency in rice production, but may not have much chance to export rice this year. BPS would issue a second projection after the rice harvest in April and a final estimate later in the year, he said.
Minister of Agriculture Suswono said the increase in output was related to improved productivity, including the use of high-quality paddy seeds, as well as a slight increase in the total area being planted.
