BPS projects January-September 2026 rice harvest area at 9.46 million ha
The increase is slight, about 0.11 percent from the same period in 2025, when it was 9.45 million hectares.
Badan Pusat Statistik estimates Indonesia's rice harvest area from January to September 2026 at 9.46 million hectares. The figure is up about 0.11 percent from the same period in 2025, which was 9.45 million hectares. The harvest was seen in Jabon, Sidoarjo, East Java, on Sunday, when workers harvested rice using a combine harvester. The increase in harvested area is linked to changes in planting and harvesting patterns in various regions, along with the use of modern agricultural machinery that speeds up the harvest process. Expansion of planting areas, optimization of land that was previously less productive, and faster planting are also said to have added to this year's rice harvest area.
