印度尼西亚曾一度是世界上最大的大米进口国,其进口额约占该国进口总额的30％,而目前该国大米不仅能自给自足,不久还将成为大米输出国。直到最近,印度尼西亚通过输出石油和天燃气所赚得的大部分硬通货收入都因每年进口250万公吨大米而耗用殆尽。这些大米主要是从美国和泰国进口。尤其糟糕的是,印度尼西亚人口除了以2％的人口增长率上升之外,其每人大米消耗量 Once, Indonesia was the world’s largest importer of rice. Its imports accounted for about 30% of the country’s total imports. At present, the country’s rice is not only self-sufficient but will soon become a rice exporter. Until recently, most of the hard currency revenue earned by Indonesia through the export of oil and natural gas was depleted due to the import of 2.5 million metric tons of rice each year. These rice are mainly imported from the United States and Thailand. In particular, the Indonesian population consumes more rice per person than the 2% population growth rate.
