Indonesia's Soaring Food Prices: Can Export Bans Ease Food Inflation? | Insight
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2022
- Earlier this year in April, Indonesia banned the export of palm oil, joining more than 20 countries that have banned the export of various food products. Although the ban was short-lived, it caused vegetable oil prices to spike worldwide.
While the ban succeeded in bringing down the price of palm oil in Indonesia, palm farmers in the world’s largest producer bore the brunt of the ban, as the price of raw fruits plunged.
At the same time, wheat bans elsewhere led to the rising price of grains in Indonesia.
Will food export bans become more common as countries seek price stability amidst inflation pressures? And does food protectionism really improve food security?

Don't know how anyone can be against countries banning food exports to ensure domestic food security. Be it Indonesia or India or any other country, the government's first duty is towards their citizens. Obviously in a climate of immense global crisis there will be such responses from the governments.
Well of course your gotta take care of your people first.
@@hangsthemighty912 when people hungry crime rate goes up and rioting
@@helldronez exactly! That's why I ain't mad at Countries banning exports, if they can't help themselves they can't help nobody. So is okay for a Country to focus on their people first.
Because most countries don’t grow enough food themselves anymore. But I don’t fault your sentiment.
Bi lateral trade agreements are a thing. Because no country produces every product or every food. They have to import a lot of things. And if you stop exporting, the countries you import from won't let you import their things. You have to ensure that you maintain that agreement otherwise you will face bigger insecurities in the future.
Indonesia has land with rich soil and resources. If it’s govt set policies for good land and resources management, it would produce high quality volumous food and products beyond self sufficiency and keep inflation down.
that's a long term problem that can't be done in just 1 season of planting and harvest. however with free market policy currently done indonesian agriculture field can't really advance as much as china or vietnam whose government invested a lot and put incentives for the market to invest into agriculture, added with low budget in agricultural department breeding an advanced seeds with high yield or high quality yields is going to be a crazy hard endeavor for indonesia.
'If'
In Indonesian we don't limit ourselves to saying "food security." We're pining for "food sovereignty"
Are there historical reasons for this desire?
@@thesisLAx Maybe because we hated being forced into hard labor by colonizers with nothing in return
@@SukacitaYeremia LoL! You are hurting no one except your own farmers.. your economy.
@@SukacitaYeremia I dunno. Many nations were starved to death by their colonizers such as Ireland and Vietnam, but they are still exporting food.

Lies again? Institute College
I stayed in Jakarta for a month recently, the inflation is limited to cooking oil, where as for countries like SG and Aus, it's like 100% inflation for pretty much everything...
True, why CNA making fake news
Cooking oil prices are already falling, but other products start rising steadily.
Yeah that's what I feel too
We know price will rise but compared to other countries we are not doing as badly as people think
Emphasis that the world is facing hard time rn
@@admin8784 not entirely fake as majority of food here is fried food especially for poor families. So cooking oil price increase is definitely a big worry. I would call this news as inaccurate
nope, all processed food and street food based on frying oil is increasing though (bear in mind, this is Indonesia 80% of street foods have some cooking oil in it).
You might not notice the price increase, but you must have noticed the lesser or smaller portion per package.... it is also the form of inflation.
About food supplies, Indonesians who live in rural areas are not too worried, anything grows here, rice, spices, vegetables, fish and livestock are abundant, there are many alternatives to processing food when oil prices are high, maybe only people who live in urban areas who experiencing difficulties, but who cares? especially for other countries 😁
Kalau butuh minyak kelapa tinggal buat aja ya kan kalau di kampung?.. senang juga woeh..
The prices have gone down considerably this past seven days. The cooking oil is now at 16k IDR for low quality per kg and 22k IDR for high quality per liter in my place. The prices of vegetables and spices also have started to go down also.
Asia one thing you need to do first is control your out of control population it is increasing way too fast way too large and countries at some point wont sell you their food because they have to look after their own people if you dont lower your population on your own the planet will do it for you either with famine war natural disasters..
By the way indonisia is famous around the world for burning their native old forest that help with climate change to export toxic palm oil that is very high on mono saturated fats the worst oil to cook with....
@@RM360CR I don't deny that. Do you want to add more of what we are famous for?
@@RM360CR Our population growth is declining fast. It is now 1.1% pa population change. Ofc, we have problems, but you talk to me like I decide what happen in my country lol. Do you personally have the power to control forest fire and population growth in your country? You sound like a kid 🤣
@@AdiPrimandaGinting is radicalism rising in jakarta?
I don't feel the food prices is soaring here, except the cooking oil but it's already stable at the present
Just grill or roast food. No more frying.
@@eduardochavacano still frying because the cooking oil price has already been stable ....
have you ever go to the trad market these days? everything definitely is rising in prices here (eggs, aromatics, meat, flour, etc), not as much as the other countries do but the effect is still quite hard especially for food vendors and low income families.
@@mambowumbo I always go to super market every week, so far so good!! Nothing special in soaring price, seem to be the same ....
@@citizenoftheworld7899 supermarket pricing is not the same with the trads lol. see, in supermarket they set the price more consistently but in trads price can be changed everyday since it's basically has no standard regulation from the farmers and distributor. let say farmers say its 1000 per kilos and normally have end price as 3000 per kilos in the market but if in the way the distributor got hard shipping day due to bad weather and have a sudden increasing demands, the very next moment they'll rise the price up to 5000 per kilos. and to mention indonesian households love to buy produce in big quantities so a minor rising price will end up quite of a burden.
It works, cooking oil now in a normal price 15.000 rupiah/litre ($1)
yes at the expense of millions of palm oil farmers in Sumatra and Kalimantan who went broke in last few months.
@@ilhamrj2599 11 millions compare to 250 millions, the difference can't be more obvious.
@@oviiembem6302 You should times 11 by 4 per household ...44 millions
@@MW-wr1ve I mean which country that doesn't suffer right now, we are not God who can make every problem disappear
@@MW-wr1ve those house holds often have 3 kids... Because in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Total Fertility rate is higher than Java. So, times 5... It might be 55 millions (but I believe the realistic figure should be around 30 millions+)... Thats for the direct impact, you should have as well taken into account the whole Sumatra population as well, many are banking on palm oil sector spillover money just to live day by day, in example service sector and real estate where palm oil industry has biggest consumer based in Sumatra.
For those who think, that palm oil farmers are not significant part of Indonesian population, you could have not been more wrong. The industry is also one of the most significant taxpayer in the country as well, the industry is also the national current account "balancing" measure as well.
sure when the thing goes bad, this palm oil industry is often the first to be wasted. Not the first time though, it has happened repeatedly since SBY era.
This documentary is few months late. And current situation is proven to be quite different from what the documentary projected. Except for cooking oil and certain type of gas, I don't feel significant jump in goods prices. Sure, inflation is pretty high compared to past months, but still manageable and among the lowest in the region.

@Ops Blac he is just telling the current state in the field, which is different to what is shown in the news. and also yes, getting a news ready in a day or less is not a new thing, it has been happening for years, its called breaking news. added with the help of internet its easier than ever to get most recent news. so its not a good reason for a famous and big news agency to make a news that's more than 1 month old.
Mina padi is amazing idea. I like the zero waste singkong idea too. Indonesia is slowly going green! 👍
The oil cooking in indonesia already falling down to 15k idr..but the new problem is the rising price of gasoline and wheat..now instant noodle gona be more expensive
just eat rice. Ban bread anf instant noodles.
stop eating noodles then. Simple
Wheat dont grow in Indonesia
Cooking oil price already back to normal. Export ban policy did work i guess.
Finally, the time has come for commodity producing countries to soar. Food is more important than microchips.
Guy literally made chips
It takes microchips in machines to process, package, ship, and market food.
@@Shane-zl9ry it takes food from the fields to feed people who make microchips
Important and valuable are sadly different things.
Better have the chip for the GPS of your tractor that will increase your yield byv20%.
@@CHMichael sadly no point also if farmers have to bear the ever increasing costs of fertilisers and animal feed. Both are made from corn, wheat and other commodities. In the end countries wt surplus commodities still win

Indonesias mina padi should be replicated here in phillipines. We have the same problem
But even if. Purchasing power of the filipino still fine. The price hike doesnt made filipino taunting the hard ship.
Thank you Singapore for reporting this.
Every country’s officials owes their citizens their first loyalties and any leftover can be given to other countries
And when you run out of foreign reserves, you can subsist on those padis in Kedah.
Excuse me other than that cooking oil that is now back to normal. Everything is in great price here
Those palm oil fruits are amazing. Just bursting with calories and nutrition.
Every government should understand the concept of good governance, including food security, health security, energy security, water security etc.
Countries should try to be self-sufficient in all these items so the country can protect their citizens.
I think we are seeing the death of globalisation!
I don’t believe if something is broken necessarily it’s gonna die.
Actually the Globalization just started in my opinion and you are right the countries need to be self sufficient also but you can’t produce everything like wool or oil or very water consuming products like rice, so you produce what you are good at and buy what it cost you more to make.
Yeah not likely dude. Youre forgetting every other industry that have global supply chains
Although the death of globalisation might lead to more wars. You usually don't go to war with countries you trade with
@@TheGhostaxe Yes, the death of globalisation will lead to more wars and countries do not go to war with those whom they trade with and thanks for reminding us about this.
The EU states and US have turned the backs on globalisation and these countries have become protectionists, trying to protect their inefficient industries, thus adding to their inflation problems.

@@metinatoon4438 but my salary rised too :))
Rather than an export ban, perhaps suggest an export tax and ceiling. The prices other countries pay should automatically and fully compensate the price raises of provision items within the country.
that's more problem in the distribution of those money, more hand involve more corruption possibly happened.
it aint rare in indonesia such subsidies and gov help resulting in a big case of corruption, in fact this export ban happened because of the corruption of minimum percentage of the palm oil company supply that should be distributed nationally yet the company lobbying the authority to bypass that and sold the oil to overseas because the price is higher outside indonesia.
Wont work in indonesia 😅
food crops used for fuel under govt mandates will increase food prices....this is the only real cause
No..
@Ops Blac I definitely don't. The problem however is that supply is (as claimed in this video) plenty for sustenance. Objectively speaking, this is no shortage issue but a distribution issue. Rather than feeding people, resources are hoarded for export.
Now, realistically, I understand that the lobby and corruption is too big for my suggestion to work. But I do think certain guardrails should be implemented to partially avoid such issues in the future. Human rights _should_ constitutionally precede industries.
Very good indeed! Could you please also shed some light on discrepancies in crop production n plantations in India geographically? Eg, rice being cultivated in water scarce areas.🙏
chili is the ost unstable commodities in Indonesia. once price can be as cheap as 30K rupiah/Kilo or Soaring to 170K/Kilo.
Indonesian addiction's with spicy food is extreme LOL
First comment 😆 It seems that most countries in Asia have the similar problem nowadays. Let us not lose hope. The food crisis will end eventually. 🙏🏼
39:30 filipinoes should learn from other neighboring countries like indonesia on how to sustainably grow crops too! ❤️ God bless us all!
It is true, we must not lose hope. But it will not be mankind who is going to solve this problem. This is a Bible prophecy being fulfilled because we are in what Jesus Christ and his diciples called: “The conclusion (or the end) of the system of things.”
And Revelation chapter 6 talks about 4 horsemen of the apocalypse being sent out. Revelation 6:6 says: `I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”
A denarius was one day’s wages back when these words were written. And with the prices of everything going up a day’s wages wont go very far soon. But the hope we can get from the Bible is where God himself steps in to `bring to ruin those ruining the earth’ - Revelation 11:18 😊🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏
@@debrajessen7975 it's wheat and barley. We Indonesians can't grow wheat here. So i hope we can substitute our comfort foods to survive.
@@waitandsee9345 Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24:7 - “There will be food shortages ...” Mark 13:8 - “There will be food shortages. These are a beginning of pangs of distress.” Luke 21:11 - “In one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights ...”
These Bible prophecies are going to be fulfilled earthwide, and it isn’t just limited to wheat and barley. Revelation uses a currency, a denarius, that not many countries use today. The point is, this is going to be worldwide, and it is going to lead to Gods Kingdom taking over rulership of the earth 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏾
@@debrajessen7975 Not Gods, but God kingdom. Jesus is prophet, the one that you call as father is the real God. The term father is also used by Jews during that period, it is not necessary telling God is the father in human sense, but that is how the Jews show their closeness with their God. Jews and Muslim has the same concept of One God, and in Islam it is told that our souls come from God Ruh (soul), so it is not really false to say God is the father to whole human if we see it through the fact that our soul comes from God soul
@@muhammadsecret8783 I totally agree, there is only One God. But writing `Gods Kingdom’ is the same as writing `His Kingdom’ it doesn’t mean God in plural form👍
Acts 17:26 - `He made out if one man every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth’.
Acts 10:34, 35 - Peter said: “Now I truely understand that God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

Amazing Indonesia.
For CNA...it's always fine in Singapore and complete disaster in rest of ASEAN. They love to exaggerate... It's not that bad..only palm oil price that soars really high...but it's getting better now. In Indomaret you can get 2 liters for 36k
Cooking oil in Jakarta minimarket has already been Rp 14.000 per liter. This is not an issue anymore, but CNA wants to manipulate their own Singaporean, by projecting other neighbouring countries are in disaster, they hope their own citizen will feel content with their government despite in Singapore headline inflation has been at 7 % in July while in Indonesia it was 4.9 percent. CNA is owned by their SOE, Temasek (government control)
Every day we have to fight for survival, cuz food price rising day by day
Bali was nice. Hola from Querétaro, Mexico.
Should do a doc on how singapore is planning to shore up food inventory? or no? Of course this is a wealthy country so should be able to absorb any food price shocks for a prolonged period.
Once prices go up, it never goes down much. It simply stays there.
You,re wrong tho minyak 15.000
No, commodity prices behave differently.
a Singapore media where the country is dependent on other country's exports: does export ban ultimately have adverse impact in the long run?
Indonesia, not dependent on exports at all, chilling: say what?
Aditya Alta knows his macroeconomics.
Must be convenient to just interview someone selling chips. Inflation is not a problem. The main problem will be the upcomming wars. Which will halt international trades so import and exports gets delayed. Either you stock up or find alternative.
You're ahead about 95% of the population I told my mom to stock up if she looked at me like I was crazy
CNA better focus on Singapore. Singapore is not self-sufficient when it comes to food. Food crisis in Singapore better be reported.
Actually in Indonesia most food price are stable.
This is so sad. Haiti is experiencing inflation on a major higher level. Even worse than this…
Indonesia has a good leader. Oil export ban act was quick. Vs the USA still exporting gasoline to China.
Stunning and brave that they should export all their food and let their country starve bravo
The western media has led the opinion that Indonesia should release the ban on palm oil exports. Don't pay attention to what the western media says. Palm oil is not only used for cooking, but for the production of various industrial products. No matter how expensive palm oil is in the future, western industries still need it and buy it. The more expensive the world's palm oil, the more profit when the export ban is lifted.
can you tell me what is its industrial uses?
@@nickduxfield4324 for makeup, skincare, soap, detergen, ice cream, etc
Are you aware that the biggest importers and processors of palm oil products are not western
@@nickduxfield4324 The West is not the biggest importer of CPO but the big industries are almost all from the west and the US, let's take the example of netsle and unilever, I'm sure everyone knows this trademark and they are not from China for sure 😂
@@CalonDosen25 yes I think that’s right, but it’s the demand for palm oil that builds countries like Indonesia. And higher profits is better for those countries.
What are you looking at, are you looking at the greed of the west.
When things are more expensive like soap, moisturiser or ice cream people usually don’t purchase luxuries. Only greater supply is better for everyone.
What is your perspective?
This is 3 months old reporting, be more updated la,
Why did prices go up? Did demand rise or did supply decrease?
Indonesia is blessed to have a good president
The crux of the issue is population, as population will grow so the demand for food, the demand for food grows so the demand for land and so on.... its vicious cycle.
Governing a country is no east task, you have to keep people happy and companies happy and keep balance on exports and import plus spend money on Education and Military while making sure the country doesn’t get in debt while the financial system has to be fair and banks are profitable and keeping the currency strong and making sure there is no inflation.
That’s why politicians lie all the time, people don’t care for the truth they only care about their own business.
So politicians create a delusion that they are in control, but what they are doing is making deals on the back door so they can be elected.
One word adaptability...
We are fine
some of us fell asleep feeling hungry for these past few months.. not fine
Nope, there is no food price spike here in Manado. The price of food here is quite stable despite of the rise of the cooking oil price.....
It's common here that it's too much to make everyone panic
🙃 the high cost of wheat for bread has been taken care of by sorghum. Only ramen left
It’s never easy to balance the domestic & export needs what more during the difficult inflation times now. When domestic prices rise dramatically coupled with shortages, that can lead to social unrest. A couple of years ago when Indonesia raised fuel prices, this was met with massive protests only for the Government to revoke this increase. Self sufficiency is key to a nation’s survival.
CNA loves to exaggerating things...only palm oil price that sharply goes up...other ingredients may or may not go up...but only small percentage.
just use peanut oil or sesame oil.
An energy making industry that provides the families of Indonesia the capacity to self-generate electricity for thier homes and farms or business establishments might help with fuel and electricity expenses. Solar Panels with Hybrid Inverters I was told can reduce electricity bills to almost zero thereby providing the household "more money" to use for food, medicine and savings in banks. It is a good thing....to produce your own electricty for the household and EV buses, trucks and cars...
Its more complex really than it seems. A lot of people are also relying on exporting their products, its an industry. More reason to be selective on people to put in power.
no matter how government intervene, the bad effect always find it way. Like if a country do export ban, it trigger other country ban other commodity needed by former country ex Indonesia and India and Malaysia. if government apply subsidies, it mean maintaining demand in tightening supply, it means government use its fiscal needed by other needs to subsidies, in turn they need tax increase which hurt business too. Not too mention the government subsidies compete with soaring global market price. imho, in the end, the equilibrium will be fixed by market itself not by intervention.
unfortunately, market proponents are seldom self-correcting, especially when socio-political elements come to play. macro vs micro.
@@maxpower.5189 well youve got a point there. Teehee. Human greed distorting equilibrium.
Pum oil is mostly used as lubricant not as eatable oil. But in some part of Asia people eat pum oil just because it's cheap .
Why your report sooo cruel, no rising food pricing in Indonesia, for some commodity yes but it's very normal and situational. Like for red chilly but just for a while.
Self sufficient is erm politically motivate.
We need to punish Russia not punish other country
We need to punish country who use "hegemonic embargo" and involved in many wars & colonialism, but at the same time those country embargo Russian businesses but doesn't want to embargo Russian gasses.. how pathetic 🤣
Indonesia will be the first country to help Russia if the West punishes Russia. US prohibits Indonesia from growing wheat, even though wheat can be grown well in Indonesia.
usually when one food prices increase, I'll just not buy it and seek alternative. if oil is expensive, I'll not buy oil.
For some it does not make any sense to blame the war between Rusia and ukrain that eventualy make the price soaring. As i remember cooking oil prices has gone up since Oktober last year. What makes us angry was that. The price is so high, but unavaibale in the market. As long as it available people Will buy it no matter how costly it is.
Fertilizers most come from Rusia 😌
@@waitandsee9345 yes it's importerd from Rusia, but the war started in february, while oil prices gone up since Oktober, 4 months before the war started.
Price went up even for local produce....
Good news for Indonesian
Is this happening everywhere now?
Export should be for products which a country has surplus of. Global trades driven by making more profit have disrupted economy and also ecological system. The balance will be delicate and the road ahead will be bumpy but I think the efforts of the Indonesian government to be self-sufficient in feeding its population will be much more beneficial for the people and environment in a long run, especially if the circular economy approach is made part of the efforts.
I agree. Every nation should strive for food self-sufficiency for basics and trade should be for surpluses and more exotic items that can't be grown locally. That way people don't starve when times are hard and can enjoy more variety when times are good.
Time... time to prologue the use of oil and start ways to pack food.
The price of eggs went to 30k rupiah this day in Surabaya the price of oil is 24k and the price of soybeans and flour has risen
So where all the singaporean who said that they don't need malaysian chicken anymore?? lmao.
Most singaporean keep blaming and make fun of malaysia, when malaysia government decided to banned export. In reality, the banned export did HELP reduced the chicken prices 25% up to 40% in some places.
Prove that food security happened around the world, each government will decided what benefit their people first before exporting to other countries,
Because Singaporean felt they are more superior than others neighbours countries!! But unfortunately, Singapore is the most vulnerable country for food and goods shortages!
The Indonesian government is actively developing the country's infrastructure... at that time the government needs to increase the country's income by raising taxes and reducing or eliminating subsidies... people with low incomes feel the impact of the increase in the price of goods and taxes...

Palm oil is a curse because palm plantations have destroyed natural habitats.
Whats a sustainable, less destructive alternative, I wonder?
Currently palm oil is the best option, take a look at how much land you need plant olive oil to produce as much palm oil, it's crazy, here is an example from DW th-cam.com/video/tTSLzEJnYIw/w-d-xo.html

Export ban helps to inflationary pressure by a small bit
If the government banned exports of CPO, the government should have subsidized the farmers.
In the philippines price hike is not really an issue. We can immediately absorb the trend. Maybe because most of us are working abroad and we send dollars back home.
Cooking oil prices goes to from 1.5 dollars to 2 dollars. In indonesia cooking oil still cheaper.
really 😂😂
Indonesia people work abroad more than 3 million but Indonesia have more than 278 million people living in this country you imagine
but I know some Philippines workers like Singapore hongkong Malaysia they know how expensive price food in Philippines that way even sugar salt and cream coffee noodles send to families in Philippines
and Indonesia workers deference no need send they all things cos in Indonesia more chipper price
2 US DOLAR IN INDONESIA 29000
and regular that oil in Indonesia price just only 9500 to 11500 before
that way wee all complain to government
cos Indonesia is bigger products of plam oil
Interrupting the market and crashing it.
Some producers throws their products into the sea ..
It has to with the amount of crops planted or not planted . Go figure !
Malaysian government action to banned chicken export is big win for rakyat! The Cartel had been hit hard because of their threaten government before. Hahaha to the Cartel!!!
On the upside means less demand for destroying habitat?
This is basically a good insecure country complaining about the food producing country not selling them food

Inflation in Indonesia is actually only 2% per year!
This is a fairly low inflation rate, even below India (0.5%)
And thr are people on social media who call them foodie and influencers while wasting and showcasing foods for his own needs
Erm why not grow more corn
Why don't government just give people stimulus checks. It really helps and lowers prices.
what about pesticide & fertilizer used for rice cultivation ,getting into fish, eat & get cancer?
it is all about survival of self. money rulez
Why Malaysia cannot produce it own corn and its own fertilizer
Malaysia produce it own corn but unfortunately still can't fulfill Malaysia domestic demand
Simple. Because corn per kg is cheaper than palm oil, so most farmers prefer to plant oil palm instead. That actually happens long time ago when farmers replaced their rubber tree with oil palm because rubber price dropped like a rock. Rice gets subsidy from government, but not corn. So there is motivation to produce rice but not corn . Actually there is a better way to solve all these problems, using barter trade . Like trading palm oil for wheat with India via government to government deal . Then both sides don't need to waste their foreign exchange.
Simple: Price and raw materials
Can you please be specific and link the evidence of lower yields due to climate change?
This year in india temprature rise upto 50degrees which lowered the yield of wheat same happened in other countries too
@@INDPYROTECH And the specific evidence that it was "climate change"? (And specifically in Indonesia's case as well)
Wheat from Canada is the best. It has lots of protein and is hardy. Italians use it in pasta extensively and so am guessing many Asian processors user it in noodles.

- The noodle producer specifically references Canada. LMFAO. And that now because of the weather there and lower yields this year, they and others are seeking alternatives such as Australia, etc.
