This analysis identifies declining rice production and climate variability in Central Java, suggesting urgent policy reforms.
Key Points
Rice production in Central Java has decreased by 15.3% from 10.5 million tons to 8.89 million tons between 2018 and 2024 due to various challenges.
Significant factors include urbanization reducing arable land, erratic climate patterns disrupting yields, and an aging farmer population creating labor shortages.
The research employed a qualitative-descriptive approach using secondary data to analyze contributing factors affecting rice production.
Targeted interventions, including land-use regulations and climate-smart practices, are vital for enhancing productivity and ensuring national food security.
