The availability of fertilizer is one of the key factors in ensuring a successful planting season from October 2026 to March 2027. In preparation for this period, Pupuk Indonesia has continued to increase production and has successfully distributed fertilizer to maintain adequate supply in line with national demand.

As of September 16, 2026, Pupuk Indonesia had distributed 6,636,460 tons of subsidized fertilizer, equivalent to approximately 67% of the total national subsidized fertilizer allocation for 2026, which stands at 9.8 million tons. This supply readiness is supported by an annual production capacity of 14.8 million tons, as well as the availability of both subsidized and non-subsidized fertilizer stocks.

Pupuk Indonesia’s Fertilizer Distribution Realization as of September 2026

In 2026, the Indonesian government allocated 9.8 million tons of subsidized fertilizer nationwide. Of this amount, 9.55 million tons were designated for the agricultural sector, while 295,676 tons were allocated to the aquaculture sector.

As of September 16, 2026, Pupuk Indonesia had distributed 6,636,460 tons of fertilizer, representing 67% of the total national subsidized fertilizer allocation. Distribution activities continue to ensure fertilizer availability across various regions ahead of the October 2026–March 2027 planting season.

Distribution realization serves as one indicator of fertilizer availability that has already reached beneficiaries. As fertilizer demand continues throughout the year, Pupuk Indonesia also maintains production and inventory levels to ensure a stable supply.

Subsidized and Non-Subsidized Fertilizer Stocks Reach 1.7 Million Tons

In addition to distribution performance, supply readiness is supported by available inventory. As of September 16, 2026, Pupuk Indonesia held approximately 1.7 million tons of fertilizer stock, consisting of around 1.30 million tons of subsidized fertilizer and 454,731 tons of non-subsidized fertilizer.

The detailed fertilizer inventory as of September 16, 2026, is as follows:

The availability of these stocks reflects Pupuk Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to maintain fertilizer supply following distribution activities. Both subsidized and non-subsidized inventories support national fertilizer demand ahead of the October 2026–March 2027 planting season.

Pupuk Indonesia’s Production Capacity Reaches 14.8 Million Tons Per Year

Pupuk Indonesia has an annual fertilizer production capacity of up to 14.8 million tons. This figure represents production capacity rather than actual production realized through September 2026.

This capacity is one of the key factors enabling Pupuk Indonesia to meet national fertilizer requirements, including subsidized fertilizer demand. To maintain production capabilities, the company continuously monitors plant conditions, raw material availability, and domestic fertilizer demand.

The available production capacity also allows the company to adjust output according to market needs. This is particularly important ahead of planting seasons, when fertilizer demand must be anticipated and prepared in advance.

How Is Fertilizer Production Prepared Ahead of the Planting Season?

Production preparation involves ensuring that manufacturing facilities operate reliably and that raw materials are available according to requirements. These two factors are essential for maintaining production processes and supporting fertilizer demand in the field.

Pupuk Indonesia also continues to improve operational efficiency across its production facilities. Continuous monitoring of production processes and plant maintenance activities helps ensure smooth and reliable operations.

These preparations are carried out alongside fertilizer distribution and inventory management to meet demand ahead of the October 2026–March 2027 planting season.

Why Is Production Facility Readiness Important?

The condition of production facilities directly affects a plant’s ability to manufacture fertilizer. Therefore, maintenance and monitoring activities form an integral part of Pupuk Indonesia’s production operations.

Regular monitoring enables the company to assess equipment conditions and production processes on an ongoing basis. When potential issues are identified, inspections and maintenance can be conducted as needed.

Pupuk Indonesia is also revitalizing several production facilities. These initiatives aim to upgrade aging assets, improve efficiency, and maintain the company’s capacity to produce fertilizer.

Technology Supports Production Operations

Technology plays an important role in supporting production activities across Pupuk Indonesia’s facilities. The company utilizes sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics to monitor equipment
