Overview – Indonesia Plantation & Agriculture Sector

Indonesia is an agricultural global super-power. The nation is a leading producer and exporter of many agriculture commodities, particularly in the areas of palm oil, rubber, cocoa, coffee, rice, and spices.

As an industry sector, agriculture is still the largest employer, accounting for about 29% of the Indonesian workforce. Primary agricultural production contributed 13.7% of GDP in 2020.

The agriculture sector is primarily made up of large sprawling plantations – mainly private, some state-owned – or smallholder dwellings focused on producing for local needs.

The large plantations usually grow key export commodities such as palm oil and rubber, while the smallholder farms focus on rice, fruits and vegetables.

The dominant agricultural commodity is Palm Oil.
Indonesia is by far the largest producer of palm oil in the world.

The Palm Oil sector has seen vast investment and growth over the last decades. Fueled by increasing global demand, palm oil cultivation has expanded significantly across the archipelago.

The majority of locally produced palm oil is exported. In 2022, palm oil production was about 45.5 million metric tons. The Palm Oil sector contributes between 1.5 – 2.5% of national GDP.

The largest palm oil plantations can be found in Sumatra, followed by Kalimantan. 

Indonesia is also a global leader in the production of Natural Rubber, sitting in 2nd place in terms of volume.

The archipelago supplies a substantial amount of rubber to the global market and the sector has been growing in size since the 1980s.

Unlike Palm Oil, most of Indonesia’s rubber output – around 80% – comes from smallholder farms, not large plantations. Key regions for rubber are South Sumatra, North Sumatra and Riau.

Cocoa Bean is another key agricultural product, Indonesia ranks 3rd in the world for output volume.

Over the past 25 years the Indonesian Cocoa sector has witnessed significant growth, driven primarily by smallholder farms choosing to focus on the valuable commodity.

The nation currently has about 1.5 million hectares of land dedicated to cocoa cultivation.

As a country of fertile volcanic soils, vast land, year round warm temperatures and good rainfall, there are of course many many other crops that are produced in large volume.

These include; Coffee, Tea, Rice, Cassava, Spices, Nuts and etc.

Demand and production of seafood and meat is also increasing each year. Indonesia is a key regional producer of poultry and one of the worlds biggest seafood exporters. 

However, there is still a sizeable opportunity for expansion in the Fisheries & Marine sector, which accounts for less than 3% of national GDP.

Lastly, Indonesia is a leading global exporter of tropical timber products, including plywood, pulp and paper.

With increasing deforestation rates, there is now a lot of focus on controlling the timber trade and regulations have been enacted to protect forests.
