KSA CORN BRIEFING AND EVALUATION IN 2020

In October 2018 BPS released data on national rice / rice production using the KSA method. With the release of the rice production data which is believed to be more accurate, it will encourage improvements to other strategic commodity production data, namely corn.

Data collection on integrated food crops with Corn Sample Area (KSA) method aims to obtain more accurate and timely corn harvest data.

Every field officer every last 7 days of each month is tasked with observing the growth phase of corn and recording the results of his observations using an android mobile device that has been installed with the KSA application on each KSA segment that has been allocated. For Boyolali District alone there are 84 KSA corn segments observed each month.

Friday, July 24, 2020 BPS Boyolali District held a briefing and evaluation of Corn KSA activities in 2020 while continuing to implement health protocols that apply in the new normal era. The KSA Corn officers consist of three supervisory officers who are BPS organic employees and 10 field officers who are statistical partners. In addition to the evaluation of field activities, on this occasion the signing of the integrity pact was also signed, with several items including that each officer committed to carry out observations by complying with the SOP guided by the health protocol, able to complete the workload on 2 calendar days of the initial schedule each month and be willing to improve results observations that are not appropriate / inconsistent and if necessary re-observing.
