Evaluation of Updating PIPA and VSI 2020

In 2020, BPS will carry out updating activities for rice mill listings (PIPA) and Verification of Industrial Centers (VSI). The background of this activity is that rice production data has been obtained from the conversion of rice production. It is deemed necessary to calculate rice stock and production by collecting data on rice milling businesses / companies. The last data collection on rice milling was carried out in 2012, from the results of SE2016, and the association confirmed that there was a tendency to decrease the number of rice milling businesses. The purpose of updating PIPA is to obtain data on the number of rice milling businesses / companies, the amount of grain milled (input), the amount of rice produced (output) and the number of rice stocks in the rice milling business / company.

Meanwhile, Verification of Industrial Centers (VSI) aims to obtain an initial description of the characteristics of Industrial Center activities such as: formal organization, types of main products, the number of businesses in it and the formation of frames for Micro and Small Industry Centers. Activities of updating rice mill listings (PIPA) and Verification of Industrial Centers (VSI) is implemented in all villages using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing), while the application used is ICS built by BPS RI.

This evaluation activity is used as a means of discussion and problem solving both in the field and in the application, regarding the process of sending data from the enumerator to the supervisor, which is often delayed. This event was attended by all officers including 20 enumerators (15 statistical partners and 5 BPS organic) and 8 supervisors, all of whom were organic from BPS Kab. Boyolali.

The evaluation activity of updating rice mill listings (PIPA) and Verification of Industrial Centers (VSI) was carried out face-to-face on November 30, 2020 while still implementing the health protocol, namely 3M: washing hands with soap in running water before and after the event is over, maintaining distance and wear a mask to avoid all participants from the Covid-19 virus.
