9.3 Mt. The industry produces different feed products including compound feeds. Over 85 per cent of feed is used for poultry and about 13 per cent is used in the shrimp industry. About 50 per cent of total feed is sold commercially and the remainder is used in vertically integrated operations. Corn is the major feed. Depending on relative prices, cassava, used in dry pellet form at a maximum replacement rate of about ten per cent, will substitute for corn in rations.
Corn is the major feed grain produced in Indonesia.
In most regions, corn is a secondary crop planted in the dry season after the rice harvest. The decline was largely attributed to increased rice area as a result of relatively higher prices. Corn consumption has been increasing at an average annual rate of six per cent in the 1990s, up from four per cent in the 1980s. However, self-sufficiency in corn before the year 2000 is one of the goals set by the Indonesian government. Palm kernel and copra meals account for over 80 per cent of total production.
