The first research report in which HARA data has been used will soon be released by our partners at BOI Research. Their periodic report is currently centered around the production of rice in Indonesia but will also include other crops in the future.



The research company plans to publish an update at least every quarter. This does not rule out the possibility of publishing more often if their work surfaces new relevant data.

“The report as far as we are concerned for now is roughly done, although everybody is still working on it. […] We want to talk about fertilizers as well, but it helps to talk to farmers and cooperatives first, and along the way, I think the report will get slightly bigger and bigger, depending on the topics that we hear.” — Ingmar van den Brink, co-founder of BOI Research

The reports created by BOI Research uses government data as a basis and then tests the validity and accuracy of that data with data they uncover themselves, and data supplied by HARA. In doing so, they try to figure out what the exact rice production in Indonesia actually is.

Currently, data availability in the agricultural sector is generally inconsistent. Moreover, it is often only offered at a provincial level, so it cannot be used to zoom into a more local, granular level. The reports created by BOI Research will help fill this gap in knowledge. We will update you soon on more details about how BOI Research is conducting their field and desk research.
