Strategic horticultural commodities play an important role in food availability, household consumption, inflation control, and agricultural economic development in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the production and household consumption dynamics of selected strategic horticultural commodities in Indonesia using official data from Statistics of Horticulture 2024 published by BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach based on secondary data analysis. The commodities analyzed include shallot, garlic, big chili, cayenne pepper, potato, tomato, carrot, banana, durian, orange, and mango. The results show that banana had the highest production in 2024, reaching 9.26 million tons, followed by mango at 3.30 million tons and orange at 2.58 million tons. Among seasonal vegetables, shallot production reached 2.09 million tons, while garlic production was only 39.44 thousand tons. The comparison between production and household consumption indicates that most commodities recorded production levels higher than household consumption, except garlic, which showed a large production-consumption gap. These findings suggest that Indonesia’s horticultural system has strong production capacity for several commodities but still faces structural challenges in garlic self-sufficiency and consumption balance. The study highlights the need for productivity improvement, commodity diversification, and import-reduction strategies to strengthen horticultural resilience.
