        "summary": "Indonesia's Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman has announced that the government is prepared to export up to 500,000 tonnes of rice, starting with 200,000 tonnes to Malaysia, following a prior humanitarian shipment of 10,000 tonnes to Palestine. With a record-high 5 million tonnes of Government Rice Reserves (CBP) in Bulog warehouses, combined with other stocks and standing crops, the nation has sufficient supplies to meet consumption needs until April next year without imports. However, ongoing negotiations are stalled due to Malaysian importers offering prices below Rp 10,000 per kilogram, which is considered unfeasible as it would effectively subsidise foreign buyers.",
        "content": "<p>KARAWANG, KOMPAS.com - Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman\nstated that the government is ready to export 500,000 tonnes of rice to\nother countries.<\/p>\n<p>Amran made the statement while inspecting the rice stocks at a Bulog\nwarehouse rented at JDP Karawang1 Logisticspark, Karawang, West Java, on\nThursday (23\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>With 5 million tonnes of Government Rice Reserves (CBP) in Bulog\nwarehouses, the government is ready to export 200,000 tonnes to\nMalaysia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, next, we have negotiated through Bulog, hopefully 200,000\ntonnes can be exported by us. Not just 200,000, even 500,000 can be\nexported to countries in need,\u201d said Amran on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Amran explained that before the export negotiations to Malaysia, the\ngovernment had exported 10,000 tonnes of rice to Palestine as aid for\nwar victims.<\/p>\n<p>Amran said that the 5 million tonnes of CBP stocks in Bulog\nwarehouses is the highest throughout Indonesia\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>With those CBP stocks, plus rice stocks in hotels, restaurants, and\ncafes (Horeka) as well as households reaching 12.5 million tonnes, and\nrice in fields ready for harvest (standing crop), the national rice\nstocks can meet consumption needs until April next year without\nimports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsyaallah, 2026 no rice imports. Our reserves are the highest in\nhistory in April,\u201d said Amran.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rice export is currently still in the negotiation stage\nbecause the importers are bidding at a price that is too low.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price is not yet suitable, because if the quality is already\nokay, there\u2019s no problem,\u201d said Rizal on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Rizal, importers in Malaysia want to buy Bulog rice at a\nprice below Rp 10,000 per kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the price of premium Bulog rice with 15 percent breakage\nin the domestic market reaches around Rp 14,900 per kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Stabilisation of Food Supply and Price (SPHP) rice in the\ndomestic market is sold at the highest retail price (HET) of Rp 12,500\nper kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still not possible (to sell below Rp 10,000). If it\u2019s that\nprice, it\u2019s not possible. Why would we subsidise other countries, right?\nIt\u2019s not possible,\u201d said Rizal.<\/p>",
