Paddy Harvested Area and Production in Kalimantan Utara 2019

Data Collection of Integrated Food Crops Agricultural Statistics with the Area Sampling Frame (ASF) Method is an activity carried out in collaboration between BPS-Statistics Indonesia and the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). This activity is included in a national project to support the achievement of one of the national priorities, namely food security, in the context of improving food statistical data which began to be implemented nationally in 2018. The main objective of this activity is to obtain an objective data collection method for rice harvest area, scientific, and involves the role of technology, up-to-date, so that agricultural data, especially rice production data, that is collected becomes more accurate, fast, and timely. The availability of timely and accurate agricultural data is the foundation for realizing targeted agricultural policies. Since 2018, BPS-Statistics Indonesia has collaborated with the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), supported by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / National Land Agency (Ministry of ATR / BPN), the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG), and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN), trying to improve the methodology for calculating rice harvested areas through the application of objective measurements by utilizing advances in information and communication technology as well as the availability of high-resolution satellite images. This collaboration is manifested in an activity entitled "Data Collection of Integrated Food Crops Agricultural Statistics with the Area Sampling Framework (ASF) Method" or better known as the KSA Survey. The implementation of the KSA Survey for rice commodities began to be implemented nationally in 2018. Segment observations were carried out on the last 7 (seven) days of each month. Based on the results of the KSA Survey, in 2019, the rice harvested area in Kalimantan Utara Province is estimated to be 10.29 thousand hectares or a decrease of 3.41 thousand hectares (24.89 percent) compared to 2018. Meanwhile, rice production in 2019 is estimated at 33.35 thousand tons of GKG. If converted to rice, rice production in 2019 will reach around 19.67 thousand tons, or a decrease of 6.90 thousand tons (25.98 percent) compared to rice production in 2018. In addition to producing estimates of harvested area, the KSA Survey also provides an overview related to other very rice phases, such as the area of ​​the initial vegetative phase, late vegetative, generative, puso, and the area of ​​rice fields and fields that are not planted with rice.
