What happened
Officials from Indonesia are exploring the export of premium rice to Malaysia. This move follows claims that Indonesia has achieved rice self-sufficiency, which led to the cancellation of the 2026 import order. State procurement in Indonesia had passed 4.11 million tonnes of farmers' rice, exceeding the 2026 target.
