Indonesian corn wet millers are facing challenges in meeting their production needs due to insufficient local supply and a reduced import quota for the 2025/26 period. This situation is compelling them to seek alternative raw materials to sustain their operations.
Concurrently, imports of wheat into Indonesia are anticipated to increase during the 2026/27 period. This rise is driven by growing demand from the feed and poultry industries, as well as increasing consumer preference for wheat-based food products. Consequently, wheat is expected to capture a larger market share.
