The East Java Provincial Government is committed to realizing national food sovereignty through the use of agriculture technology (agritech) and the downstreaming of agricultural products. This is because the potential for agricultural products in East Java is very large, plus East Java is the largest rice producer in Indonesia.
In 2021, East Java will still be the largest contributing province as a national food barn. Based on the provisional figures for rice production released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), East Java Province is again in the first rank of the largest rice producer in Indonesia with a total of 9.91 million tons of dry milled rice (GKG).
In 2020, East Java also ranks first as the largest rice producer in Indonesia with a total of 9.94 million tons of GKG from a harvested area of 1.75 million hectares.
Based on this data, East Java still maintains its position as the largest rice producer in Indonesia, followed by other provinces in Indonesia, Central Java with a production of 9.8 million tons of GKG, West Java with a production of 9.4 million tons of GKG, South Sulawesi with a production of 5.2 million tons of GKG, South Sumatra with a production of 2.5 million tons of GKG.
