Although Indonesia is one of the world’s major agricultural countries, in terms of its domestic capacities it lacks many of the basic agricultural inputs particularly in its indigenous pesticide industry. Indonesia’s pesticide industry is highly dependent on importation. In 2012 Indonesia’s pesticide market was valued at approximately 400 million USD. About 64% of Indonesia’s market was controlled by MNCs and the largest pesticide consumers by sector were rice cultivation (41%) and palm plantation crops (27%).
