Featured Data Additions, November 19, 2025

GLSECTOR → Selected Indicators by Country/Special Areas → Indonesia → Agricultural Production

Agricultural production statistics for Indonesia were added to the GLSECTOR database. This table reported in thousands of metric tons includes some of the major commodities like rubber, palm oil, and sugar cane. Monthly data are sourced from Badan Pusat Statistik and start in January 2009.

Chart: While the rubber production sector is economically important and employs millions, it faces challenges like declining productivity per hectare, low prices, and stagnant demand over the last decade. On the other hand, palm oil is more profitable, leading farmers to convert rubber plantations to oil palm. The commodity benefits from high global demand, government support, and favorable cultivation conditions, driving its expansion.

ENERGY → Eurostat Energy Statistics → Simplified Energy Balances

Over 20K energy balances series for Europe were added to ENERGY. This is the most complete statistical accounting of energy products and their flow in the economy and allows us to see the total amount of energy extracted from the environment, traded, transformed and used by different types of end-users. Measures are available for consumption, production, stocks, and imports/exports for 11 energy sources across 39 European countries plus the EU. Annual data are sourced from Eurostat and start in 1990.

Chart: The production of energy in the EU is spread across a range of different energy sources. Renewable energy, at 46% of total EU energy production, was the largest contributing source to energy production in 2023. Nuclear energy (29%) was the second largest source, followed by solid fuels (17%), natural gas (5%) and crude oil (3%). However, energy production varies greatly from country to country.
