Executive Summary of Paddy Harvested Area and Production in Kalimantan Selatan Province 2023 (Final Figures)

Food crop statistics have a strategic role in agriculture. It is used by government
to determine the direction of development policies in Indonesia, primarily
related to food fulfillment. The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS collects data on
paddy harvested areas every month through the Area Sampling Frame (ASF)
survey, which is a collaborative activity between BPS with the Agency for the
Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) and the National Institute of
Aviation and Space (LAPAN) which is now merged into the National Research
and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial
Planning/National Land Agency (Ministry of ATR/BPN), and the Geospatial
Information Agency (BIG). Meanwhile, yield data, which is the multiplier of
harvested area to produce paddy production data, is obtained through the
crop-cutting Survey.

Executive Summary of Paddy Harvested Area and Production in Kalimantan
Selatan Province 2023 (Final Figures) provides information on the paddy
harvested area and production in January–December 2022 and 2023, and
potential figures in January–April 2024. Hopefully, this report can provide an
overview of paddy harvested area and production data by field conditions. We
hope that the paddy statistics obtained through the ASF and crop-cutting survey
can provide significant benefits to the nation, especially as a basis for policymaking,
so
that food security
can be realized through
rice
self-sufficiency.
