the Government of Republic of Indonesia
Harvesting the Potentialities of World-Standard Rice Production Technologies

2. Indonesia Agriculture at a Glance
The agricultural sector in Indonesia reportedly employs over 40 percent of the national workforce
while contributing approximately 17 percent of GDP. It is one of the pillars of the country’s
economy. Rice is the staple food grain of Indonesia. While ranks 3rd in the world in rice
production, but also one of the top rice importer of the world.
However, in recent
years total rice
consumption has
been rising faster
than production, as
the growth rate of
national rice area
and yield has
faltered.
Ref: Bangladesh MOA 2011-2012

3. The Challenge
In 2012 Indonesia will import around
1.45MMT of miller rice. For the 238
million people of Indonesia, the status of
its domestic rice supply is synonymous
with its food security and become the
biggest challenge to overcome
The Solution
GBK Turnkey Mechanized Rice Cultivation Project could be the best
possible solution to achieve self sufficiency in rice production and
ensure food security for the generations to come

8. The Technology
Highly Advanced mechanized rice cultivation technology which also known as
“Precision Agriculture Technology”
ORIGIN OF THE TECHNOLOGY: originated in Japan in 1960, this is the
most advanced and proven mechanized rice cultivation technology in
the world
 DEVELOPMENT STAGE: Fully mature technology. Perfected by
decades of intensive research.
 FLEXIBILITY: Any rice variety for any climatic zone can be cultivated,
any type of transplanting by various seedling combinations per hill and
various spacing is possible.
 ADAPTED COUNTRIES: Japan, South Korea and Taiwan is 98%
mechanized using this technology. China, Malaysia etc are adapting this
technology at an accelerated speed

9. The Technology: Flowchart
• Mechanized multi stage

treatment to prevent are placed on open mechanized rice
diseases field for growing for transplanter
• Seed placed on trays upto 15-20 days.
and Kept in controlled • Seedlings are rolled

Nursery

10. The GBK Model: Major Features
 Efficient use of resources by saving on labor cost
 Timely transplanting of seedlings of optimal age
 Ensures uniform spacing and optimum plant
 Higher productivity compared to traditional methods
 No transplanting shock, early vigor of seedling, better
tillering and uniform maturity of crop that facilitate
timely harvest and reduce harvest losses

11. GBK vs. Traditional Method
 Manual transplanting is labor intensive, time  With a transplanter, the same work can be
consuming, and expensive, large number of done by an operator & an assistant. Possible
workers (25-40/ha) required. to transplant more than 2 Ha/eight hours by
4row machine and more by higher capacity
transplanter.

12. GBK vs. Traditional Method
 Seedling growing requires large area  Required very small area (seedling--
(seedling--transplant ratio max 1:20/Ha) transplant ratio is minimum 1:400/Ha)
 Seedling kept in seed bed 30-50 days  After 20 days seedlings are transplanted
 Seedling raised at open field, thus cannot  Seedlings are protected by plastic shading
be protected from natural hazard. during natural hazard

13. GBK vs. Traditional Method
 Hand planting results in inconsistent row  Mechanized transplanting ensures uniform
distances, hill space, & uneven planting depth spacing, planting depth & optimum plant density
 Seedling suffer transplanting shock  No transplanting shock
