Area Sample Frame Survey (KSA) December 2023

The Area Sample Frame Survey (KSA) aims to calculate the estimated harvest area for rice and secondary crops (corn). The estimated harvest area with commodity productivity will be the production figure for rice and secondary crops (corn). With the KSA method, it is hoped that harvest area data will be more accurate and timely. Through information on the KSA observation phase, you can also know the harvest estimates for the next few months. Of course, this is very useful for the government in determining national food program policies.
KSA is defined as a sampling approach technique that uses land area as the enumeration unit. This KSA method is used to forecast harvest area which is up to date and more accurate than the previous method, namely eye estimation. This system is based on geographic information system (GIS) technology, remote sensing, information technology and statistics which are currently being implemented in Indonesia to obtain agricultural data and information on food crops. The statistical unit that is the target of activities is up to the sub-district level, while the agricultural commodity objects for food crops in 2022 are rice and corn
This survey activity was preceded by field officer training activities which were held on 18-19 January 2023 offline at BPS Bandar Lampung City. The number of monthly KSA Survey officers for rice plants at BPS Bandar Lampung City is 5 PPL and 2 PML, while the number of monthly KSA Survey officers for corn plants at BPS Bandar Lampung City is 3 PPL and 1 PML. This survey field activity is scheduled to be carried out every month throughout year. The Bandar Lampung City KSA BPS survey sample consisted of 25 rice segments and 32 corn segments. So, officers from BPS Bandar Lampung City every month have to go to the rice fields or moors to look for observation points in each segment.
In December 2023, monthly KSA will be carried out over a period of 7 days at the end of the month.
