The target destinations also include Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and Germany, said Director General of Agricultural Infrastructure and Facilities of the Agriculture Ministry Sumarjo Gatot Irianto.
The Indonesian government will exert effort to procure rice to meet the demand for rice as well as for export purposes.
The director general noted that the national logistics board (Bulog) should control rice prices at a level that encourages farmers to sell rice to the government.
