Abstract

The demand and supply of rice as a staple food is a crucial factor in the food supply chain and food security in Indonesia. Indonesia still faces a deficit in domestic rice supply, which leads the government to adopt import policies to fill this shortage. Therefore, there is a need to understand the dynamics of rice supply and demand, as the interaction between the two is complex, to address food security concerns. This research aims to critically assess the dynamics of rice supply and demand in Indonesia, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities to improve food security. Using a critical review methodology, the study analyzes and critiques recent linear studies, literature, government policies, and statistical data to highlight their strengths, weaknesses, and challenges, providing a comprehensive understanding of the rice production supply and demand. The conclusion of this research is that a holistic approach is needed to achieve food security. The findings suggest that Indonesia must implement a comprehensive approach, incorporating environmental, political, and socioeconomic factors in food security. Future research should explore the role of climate resilience and global trade dynamics in shaping Indonesia’s rice sector. This comprehensive perspective can help decision-makers create a more sustainable food system

Abstract

This paper examines the food security of Indonesia and Thailand, focusing on rice production, consumption, population, exports, and imports. Despite rice being a staple food in both countries, Thailand has achieved a surplus in rice production and serves as a major exporter, while Indonesia faces challenges in meeting its rice demand due to high population growth and inefficient production systems. Thailand’s success is attributed to its advanced agricultural infrastructure, strict quality control, and robust government support. Conversely, Indonesia, although having a larger arable land area, struggles with inefficient farming practices and high rice consumption, leading to a reliance on rice imports, primarily from Thailand. This study uses a comparative analytic design, relying on secondary data from government reports, academic journals, and trade databases. The findings suggest that Indonesia can improve its food security and move toward self-sufficiency by adopting Thailand’s practices, including modernization of farming techniques, policy support, and infrastructure development. The paper emphasizes the need for strategic investments in agricultural modernization and policy adaptation to bridge the production-consumption gap in Indonesia
