Rice is the staple food for most Indonesian people, but the government tends to import rice to meet their excess demand. This study aims to analyze the determinants of rice import dependence in the Indonesia period 1992-2017. ECM Model is applied to reveal the effects between independent variables on rice imports short-term and the long-term. Secondary data is sourced from the World Bank, FAO, and BPS. The research results show that in the long run the rice production does not influence rice imports, but it is significant and positive in the short term. Rice consumption, rupiah appreciation, foreign exchange reserves, and domestic rice prices influence rice imports positively and significantly in the long and short term. Meanwhile, GDP influences rice imports negatively and relative prices do not significantly influence rice imports in the long run and also short run. Imports of rice are caused by the lack of maximum rice absorption by The Indonesian Logistic Bureau (Bulog) and increasing rice consumption. The government should absorb the surplus of farmer's rice by establishing direct cooperation between the government and farmers. The community can support the food diversification policy with various food and nutritious food.
