Paddy Harvested Area and Production in Kalimantan Utara Province 2021

The availability of timely and accurate agricultural data is the foundation for realizing agricultural policies that are on target. 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). seeks to improve the methodology for calculating rice harvested area through the application of objective measurement by utilizing advances in information and communication technology as well as the availability of high-resolution satellite imagery. This collaboration is manifested in an activity entitled "Integrated Food Crops Agricultural Statistics Data Collection with Area Sampling Frame Method (KSA)" or better known as the KSA Survey. The KSA Survey for rice commodities began to be implemented nationally in 2018. Segment observations are carried out on the last 7 (seven) days of each month. Based on the results of the KSA Survey, in 2021, the rice harvested area in Kalimantan Utara Province will reach around 8.88,000 hectares or a decrease of 1,002 hectares (10.14 percent) compared to 2020. Meanwhile, rice production in Kalimantan Utara Province in 2021 is Rp. 29.97 thousand tons of GKG. If converted into rice, rice production in Kalimantan Utara Province in 2021 will reach around 17.77 thousand tons, or a decrease of 2.14 thousand tons (10.74 percent) compared to rice production in 2020. In addition to producing an estimate of harvested area, the KSA Survey also provides an overview related to other very rice phases, such as the area of ​​the early vegetative, late vegetative, generative phases, potential for crop failure, the area of ​​agricultural land left, and the area of ​​agricultural land planted with crops other than rice.
