# Indonesia Hit Its Rice Targets. Prices Still Won't Sit Still.

> Indonesia's state buyer Bulog has been releasing about 4,000 tonnes of rice daily under its SPHP stabilisation programme, while Bulog procurement passed 4.11 million tonnes by October 9, 2026 and reserves peaked near 5.4 million tonnes. Retail medium rice in Central Java still traded up to 11.11% above the government price ceiling of Rp 12,500 per kg.

## Why it matters

Strong domestic stocks and record 2025 output reduce Indonesia's need for rice imports, which weighs on global rough rice demand, yet persistent retail prices above the ceiling point to distribution issues rather than supply shortage.
