nationally, rice production is expected to rise 0.13 percent compared to ARAM II 2012.
Compared with rice production in 2011 which amounted to 610,236 tons, rice production in 2012
(Preliminary figure) rose 145,271 tons (23.81 percent). The increase is due to increase in harvested area
amounted to 37,626 hectares (17.57 percent), and productivity increased by 1.52 Ku / Ha (5.32 percent).
While nationally, rice production is estimated to increase by 5.00 percent compared to 2011.
B. MAIZE
