Highest reported production in the available 1961–2024 record: 25,164,000 t (2017). Missing years are excluded from the peak search.

A five-year average requires all five preceding calendar years. Ten-year change compares the two endpoints, not an annual growth rate. Percentages require a positive baseline. Source flags remain in the annual table; these comparisons do not explain the causes of change.

Separate scales preserve each measure’s meaning. Gaps remain visible; no values are interpolated.

TYPICAL NATIONAL REFERENCE · JRC / FAO

Maize (corn) planting and harvest seasons in Indonesia

Reference years unknown. These are typical national windows, not observed activity this season. Timing can differ within the country; the reference does not establish crop presence or conditions in any field.

Each coloured cell is a source ten-day period. Scroll the timeline horizontally on small screens; exact windows are written below each season.

Maize (Dry season)

Planting through harvest falls within one calendar year in this reference.

Planting
early Apr – late May
Growing
late May – late Jul
Harvest
late Jul – late Sept

Maize (Rainy season)

This season crosses year-end. Read from planting through the following year’s harvest.

Planting
early Oct – late Dec
Growing
late Dec – early Feb (crosses year-end)
Harvest
early Feb – late Mar

Early = days 1–10; mid = days 11–20; late = day 21 to month end. Adjacent phases share an endpoint period in the source. Blank cells mean outside that reference phase, not an observation of inactive land. Seasons are not summed or treated as separate land areas.

Selected national Indonesia maize/rice and Pakistan rice/winter-wheat rows only. No third-party geometry or underlying FAO product. CropArc selects six national seasons, preserves native dekads and shared phase endpoints, and adds readable month labels. No current-season or subnational activity is inferred.

How Indonesia fits into world maize production

Compare the largest reported producers in the same harvest year. A larger harvest is not a measure of greater efficiency or food security.

Sources & how to read this page

FAOSTAT · Crops and livestock products. Source edition dated ; retrieved 7 October 2026. Harvest observations end in 2024. This reference page is refreshed when a reviewed edition is published.

Three different measures

Production is reported crop output in tonnes. Yield is output per harvested hectare in kg/ha. Harvested area is measured in hectares; it is not necessarily the area of unique land because multiple harvests can use the same land.

Comparable, with limits

Annual changes compare consecutive reported years. Missing years and zero denominators have no percentage estimate. World shares use the same-year FAOSTAT World total. Rankings exclude World and the overlapping China aggregate (M49 159).

Historical context

National totals do not describe every region or field and do not measure hunger, current crop condition or production at risk. Annual records use the source’s harvest-year convention; they do not establish a harvest month.
