India's Farm Trade with Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the biggest buyers of Indian groundnut kernels and also imports maize, rice and other farm goods when needed.
Main Indian Farm Products Bought by Indonesia
- GroundnutGroundnut (peanut) is India's leading oilseed export. It is crushed for groundnut oil, eaten as kernels and snacks, and exported as hand-picked kernels to Southeast Asia.
- MaizeMaize is India's fastest-growing cereal. Poultry and cattle feed take the largest share, followed by starch mills and, increasingly, ethanol distilleries, with a smaller share eaten as food.
- Non-Basmati RiceNon-basmati rice is India's staple grain, eaten daily by hundreds of millions of people and bought on a huge scale by the government for the ration system. India is the world's largest rice exporter, shipping raw, parboiled and broken rice.
Ports and Logistics
Groundnut kernels are shipped from Mundra and Kandla to Jakarta and Surabaya; Indonesian buyers check aflatoxin closely.
How Exports Work
Exporters register with APEDA (for most farm and processed foods), the Spices Board, the Coffee or Tea Boards, or IOPEPC, depending on the product. Shipments need a phytosanitary certificate from India's plant quarantine service, a certificate of origin, and any health or residue certificates required by Indonesia. India's export policy for some crops, such as onion, rice and wheat, changes often, so exporters check the current DGFT notifications before signing contracts.
