# Prolonged Drought Drives Up Corn Prices

> Vendors in Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara, said raw sweet-corn prices had risen to 600,000–1 million rupiah per sack, two to three times their previous level. A local farmer said he had not planted because of limited water during the prolonged dry spell, delaying planting until later in the year.

## Why it matters

Drought-related planting delays and reduced availability are pushing local sweet-corn prices higher. The reported market is fresh corn, so implications for feed-grade corn are limited.
