Buying rice in Indonesia is over double the international standard price, despite the country being a major rice producer. Last year, Indonesia rice price was around US$1 per kilogram, while the international standard had it around US$0.4 per kilogram. As of March, this year, FAO recorded the average price of rice per kilogram in Indonesia at around US$0.79. This is one of the highest figures around the region, with other ASEAN members paying far less — Cambodia pays US$0.42 per kg, Thailand pays US$0.33 per kg, Vietonneam pays US$0.31 and just US$0.28 per kg in Myanmar. Limited space is also a factor contributing to high prices, with growers in Indonesia harvesting on average 0.3 hectares compared to two hectares in Vietonneam or Thailand.
