RICE, CORN, AND SOYBEAN PRODUCTION (FIXED 2006 AND RAMALAN II NUMBERS 2007)
A. PADI (Paddy + Rice Paddy);
The Fixed Figures (ATAP) results of the calculation of rice production (paddy fields + fields) of West Sulawesi Province in 2006 amounted to 301,616 tons of Dry Grain Grain (GKG). This production increased by 47,730 tons of MPD (18.80 percent) compared to 2005 rice production. The increase in rice production in 2006 was supported by increased productivity in addition to an increase in harvested area. Rice productivity in 2006 reached an average of 46.79 quintal / hectare. In this case, each hectare of rice field experienced an increase in production by an average of 4.31 quintal (10.15 percent) higher than productivity in 2005. Furthermore, the harvested area in 2006 reached 64,462 Ha or an increase of 4,696 Ha (7 , 86 percent) compared to the 2005 harvested area;
West Sulawesi Province's rice production in 2007 is estimated - in accordance with the results of the calculation of the Forecast Number (ARAM) II reaching 311,852 tons of MPD. The rice production increased by 10,236 tons (3.39 percent) compared to 2006 production. The increase in rice production in 2007 was mainly driven by an increase in harvested area in addition to increasing productivity. The overall harvested area is expected to increase 1,957 hectares (3.04 percent) compared to the 2006 harvested area. While productivity is expected to increase by an average of 0.20 quintal / hectare or increase by 0.35 percent from 2006.
B. CORN;
The ROOF of corn production in West Sulawesi Province in 2006 amounted to 18,110 tons of dry shelled corn, an increase of 767 tons (4.42 percent) compared to corn production in 2005. The increase in corn production was due to an increase in productivity by an average of 1.59 quintals / hectare or 4.78 percent higher than productivity in 2005, while the harvested area is estimated to decrease slightly by around 18 hectares (0.34 percent). ;
ARAM II West Sulawesi Province corn production in 2007 amounted to 25,381 tons of dry shelled corn, an increase of 7,271 tons (40.15 percent) compared to corn production in 2006. The increase in production occurred mainly because it is estimated that harvested area will increase by around 1,883 hectares (36, 20 percent), besides that productivity also increased by 1.01 quintal / hectare (2.90 percent).
C. SOYBEAN;
The ROOF of soybean production in West Sulawesi Province in 2006 was 1,095 tons of dried soybean seeds, an increase of 408
