Natural Resources Indonesia

Strategic geographical location shows how Indonesia is rich in natural resources with all its flora, fauna and potential deposit hidrografis and abundant natural resources. Indonesia's natural resources from agriculture, forestry, marine and fisheries, animal husbandry, farming and mining and energy.
As an agricultural country, agriculture became the most important livelihood for the majority of the people of Indonesia. Agricultural land area approximately 82, 71% of the total land area. The land is mainly used for rice cultivation. The spread of rice production is still concentrated in Java due to the high productivity and harvested area compared to other islands.

Physical fact that two-thirds of Indonesia in the form of the sea, the sea's natural resources have huge potential. In addition to containing oil, gas, mineral and marine non-conventional energy, and treasure that has begun to be dug though still limited, the sea also produces fish lestarinya potential is estimated at 6, 4 million tons per year. Currently the only used about 70%.
