PLANTING INDEX 400: INNOVATION IN ACHIEVING RICE SELF - SUFFICIENCY

Abstract

The higher population affects increasing national rice consumption, but it is not balanced with the land area due to shrinking. This has prompted the government to implement various policies, one of which is the Plantation Index 400 (IP 400). An example of a successful form of the 400 Crop Index is Sukoharjo Regency, harvested during the January-March period covering an area of ​​2,088 hectares producing 45,422 tons of grain. Currently, the planted area of ​​the 400 Planting Index has reached 10,000 hectares. This paper aims to analyze the 400 Planting Index innovation efforts in realizing food self-sufficiency. The method in this study is a qualitative method using pre-existing secondary data sources, such as journals, online articles, data from the Central Statistics Agency, and related books or guidelines. The results of this study are to analyze the role of the agricultural sector as a food supplier for the community, the application of the 400 Cropping Index innovation, the adaptation of Indonesian farmers to the 400 Planting Index innovation, and analyze the 400 Planting Index innovation in increasing the amount of rice production to achieve rice self-sufficiency. The realization of the 400 Planting Index application is carried out by planting the first rice in the rainy season, then followed by the second planting of rice in the dry season, and the fourth rice before the rainy season the following year.
