Indonesia: Grain and Feed Update
Post’s marketing year (MY) 2015/16 wheat import estimate to Indonesia is revised from 7.6 to 8.9 million metric tons (MMT). The increase in imports is due to higher demand from feed mills. Post also slightly revised MY 2015/16 corn production estimates down from 9.4 to 9.3 MMT. A rainy dry season is providing greater opportunities for farmers to grow paddy during Indonesia’s second and third crop cycles. Post therefore revises the estimate of MY 2015/16 Indonesian paddy production 35.6 to 36.2 MMT of milled rice equivalent.
