Background

Rice and poverty coincide in Asia, home to over 70% of the
world’s poor (900 million people) and where almost 90%
of the world’s rice is produced and consumed.

The Indonesian population continues to grow rapidly,
meanwhile commodity prices are rising and the available
arable land area is decreasing.

In most of the developing world, rice availability is equated
with food security and closely connected to political
stability: Rice price increases have caused social unrest in
several countries, most recently during the food crisis of
2008.
Rice for Asia and INDONESIA
indispensable staple food crop for billions of people
Consumption  139 kg/capita/year (Indonesia)
Asian countries are responsible for approximately 90% of the world
rice production and consumptions.
•Dominated by
Asian countries
•Distributed in
wide range of
climatic zones

Cont...
 Rice is still the Main Components of Food Security (80% of
national carbohydrate needs)
 Paddy field in Indonesia (8,106,562 million ha (MoA, 2012))
 40% Indonesian paddy field located in Java Island (60% of
national food production)
 Increasing of Demand (Quantity) + 1.5% / year
 in 2025 : the need of rice in Indonesia is around 58.6 million tons
(Dry Milled Rice) →12.91 million ha Paddy field
 2010 – 2014: Target is to maintain self-sufficiency of 5
commodities (rice and corn, soybean, sugar, & meat)
 Surplus target of rice : 10 million tons in 2014

•
Agricultural information esp. cultivated area, growth and yield
of major crops → important for food policy and economic
planning.
•
At present: crop acreage, production & other agricultural
information → National Bureau of Statistics of Indonesia :
‐
Report summary of several administrative levels
‐
Sampling based on classical statistics (ubinan).
‐
Rice productivity data collected through the Crop Cutting
Survey using SUB-S form based on household approach by a
direct measurement in 2.5x2.5m crop cutting plot.
‐
The data collection is conducted in every subround (fourmonthly) with Sub-district Statistic Coordinator (called KSK
as coordinator of Sub Disrict Statistik) and KCD being the
enumerator.
 Remote sensing data is expected can support crop
monitoring and strengthening food security
 IAARD is going to determine to research strategy
to use remote sensing for food security program
State of the Art of Remote Sensing Utilization
for National Agriculture Development
• Identification of present landuse → paddy field and upland
agriculture in crop production centers, for supporting the
implementation and enforcement of UU Lahan Pertanian
Berkelanjutan.
• Updating and auditing land resources mapping & identification
to support : OPTIMIZING EXISTING AGRICULTURAL LAND
• Monitoring paddy growing stages, and estimating paddy
planting and harvesting area.
• Detecting flood or drought affected area → providing
recommendations for mitigation.
• Providing near real time information of paddy field condition by
integrating with other information (such as Cropping Calendar)
in an Integrated System Information for food stock policy.
 Updating more detailed map of paddy field by verifying and
using more precise satellite data
 Completing agricultural landuse planning for special
commodities and precision farming,
 Site selection of local food potential for food diversification
based on resources and post harvest handling,
 Auditing tertiary irrigation system for water management
 Monitoring agricultural crops production management,
 Agricultural hazards monitoring related to crop insurance.

On going project since 2012 :
• Agricultural Land Resources Information System part of Agricultural
Resources Management Information System (ICALRD – IAARD – MoA)

MOVING FORWARD
• Ministry of Agriculture has envisaged that RS and
GIS have a prominent role in promoting efforts for
supporting food security.
• Accurate information is indispensable for making
policies related to the spatial distribution of rice
fields, water resource management, annual
production projections, and market predictions.
• The major challenge of using remote sensing for
estimating rice and crop production area: 1)
increasing accuracy and 2) standardization of
models.
