Head of BPS-Statistics Lampung Province Dialogues with Farmers in Lampung Selatan Regency

In an effort to monitor and understand the condition of grain prices at the farmer level, the Head of Lampung Province Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Atas Parlindungan Lubis, together with the Head of BPS-Statistics South Lampung Regency, Arif Rahman Maulana, visited Pasuruan Tengah Village, Penengahan District, South Lampung Regency, this morning, Wednesday (15/5). The visit, which is part of the Grain Producer Price Survey Supervision, aims to collect actual data on grain prices directly from the source. This is an important step in ensuring the availability of accurate price information for analyzing the phenomenon of grain distribution and its implications for food availability in the region. "We want to know the price condition directly from the producers," said Atas Parlindungan Lubis. "In addition, we are also looking for information on the journey of grain from producers to rice mills or its distribution out of South Lampung, even outside Lampung Province." During the visit, Atas Parlindungan Lubis and Arif Rahman Maulana also had a dialog with farmers who were harvesting rice. This dialogue is expected to provide deeper insights into the grain production process, from the harvesting stage to the selling stage, which will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of the local grain market.
