        "summary": "Indonesia's rice production fell 3.43% year-on-year to 4.92 million tonnes of dry unhusked grain in May 2026, according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The decline was driven by a 2.35% contraction in the harvested area to 0.96 million hectares. However, BPS forecasts a recovery in the June-August period, with potential production estimated at 14.61 million tonnes.",
