        "summary": "Indonesia's national rice production from January to April 2026 reached 24.33 million tons, marking a slight decline of 0.18% from the previous year, with Java's provinces dominating the output. East Java led with 5.03 million tons, followed by Central Java at 4.16 million tons and West Java at 3.50 million tons, underscoring the island's pivotal role due to advanced agricultural infrastructure and productive paddy fields. While provinces outside Java, such as South Sulawesi and South Sumatra, are making significant contributions exceeding 1.5 million tons each, the data highlights a gradually more distributed production that bolsters national food security.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - National rice production in early 2026\nremains concentrated on Java island. Provisional data indicate that up\nto the period from January to April 2026, provinces in Java dominate the\nlist of Indonesia\u2019s largest rice producers.<\/p>\n<p>Based on monthly rice production data accumulated up to April 2026,\nthe Central Statistics Agency (BPS) records East Java as the largest\nproducer, followed by Central Java and West Java.<\/p>\n<p>Rice production from January to April 2026 reached 24.33 million\ntons, a decrease of 0.18% compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p>East Java, Central Java, and West Java Dominate Production<\/p>\n<p>Java island remains the key region for national rice production. In\naddition to relatively more advanced agricultural infrastructure, the\navailability of productive paddy fields is also crucial to this region\u2019s\ndominance.<\/p>\n<p>East Java leads with production reaching 5.03 million tons, followed\nby Central Java at 4.16 million tons and West Java at 3.50 million tons.\nThese three provinces have consistently been the national rice granaries\nin recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Regions Outside Java Show Strategic Role<\/p>\n<p>Although Java dominates, several provinces outside Java are beginning\nto show significant contributions. South Sulawesi and South Sumatra each\nrecorded production above 1.5 million tons, indicating the important\nrole of these areas in maintaining national food security.<\/p>\n<p>Other provinces such as Lampung, North Sumatra, and West Nusa\nTenggara also enter the top 10, demonstrating an increasingly even\ndistribution of production.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the last three positions are occupied by Papua Pegunungan,\nDKI Jakarta, and Riau Islands, with production of 311.96 tons, 309.2\ntons, and 152.72 tons respectively.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that the rice production data for this period is\nstill provisional and uses the Dry Milled Grain (GKG) unit. Production\ncalculations are based on harvested area and productivity (yield per\nhectare) collected by BPS.<\/p>",
