Ground Check for Anomalies in the 2023 Agricultural Census Processing Results

Tuesday 31 October 2023, BPS South Lampung Regency carried out a ground check regarding data from the 2023 Agricultural Census processing results. Re-checking needs to be carried out to correct and confirm data that is indicated as an anomaly because it could be one of the causes of the anomaly in 2023 Agricultural Census Results.

 

The ground check activity was carried out by South Lampung Regency BPS employees spread across several sub-districts in South Lampung Regency. Some of the questions asked in the ground check are to find out whether farmers have more than 10 hectares of land in one plot. Apart from that, ground check officers also asked about the commodity prices of rice, corn, cassava, cayenne pepper, red chilies, information and other horticultural crops in each sub-district in 2022. Ground check officers also asked about phenomena that have occurred so far. This is an agricultural period both in terms of increased production and crop failure. Phenomena that occur during the production period with the aim of increasing production can take the form of irrigation improvement programs, the use of organic fertilizer, or other special programs. Meanwhile, phenomena that occur that can result in crop failure can include massive pest attacks, lack of air, or changes in planting patterns.

 

With this ground check activity, it is hoped that Agricultural Census data will be produced that is increasingly high quality and in accordance with current conditions in the field. So that in the future it can be used by various parties who need information related to the 2023 Agricultural Census.
