Bali's Rice Productivity Highest Nationally in 2020

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that rice productivity in Bali was 58.49 quintals per hectare (ha) in 2020. This means that every hectare of rice field in Bali produced 58.49 quintals of milled rice (GKG). This figure was the highest compared to other provinces in Indonesia.

Central Java was second with rice productivity of 56.93 quintals per ha. Then, rice productivity in West Java was recorded at 56.82 quintals per ha.
