Abstrak

Rice is a major food commodity that plays a vital role in national food security. Central Kalimantan Province has great potential for the development of irrigated and upland rice farming through various government programs. This study aims to examine efforts to develop irrigated and upland rice farming in Central Kalimantan Province. The research method used is a descriptive method employing a literature review and documentation from various relevant sources. The results of the study indicate that the development of irrigated rice is carried out through the One Million Hectare PLG Program, the Rice Field Expansion Program, and the Food Estate initiative, while the development of upland rice is conducted through the assessment of dryland farming systems and the implementation of Integrated Crop Management (ICM). However, the implementation of these programs still faces challenges such as low productivity, limited agricultural infrastructure, and unfavorable land conditions.
