The Land

Land

The land in Indonesia is very fertile because of the volcanic ash. Farmers grow a large amount of crops. About 10% of Indonesia's land can bee farmed. There are about 3.2 million acres of dry-patty fields, and another 15 million acres of permanent dry-patty fields. In Indonesia there are 3.3 million wet-patty fields. Most fields produce two crops a year. Some products from the fields are sugar cane, coffee, tea, tobacco, palm oil, cinchona, cloves, cocoa, sisal, coconuts, bananas, cotton, and spices. Major crops grown in Indonesia are rice, cassava, corn, yams, soybeans, and peanuts. Fruit is also grown in Indonesia.
