needs. The achievement of the rice self-sufficiency program is closely
related to the agricultural sector because the agricultural sector has
an important contribution as a producer and supplier of food for the
community [4]. History records that in 1984 Indonesia achieved self-
sufficiency for the first time. At that time, the agricultural sector
succeeded in narrowing the gap in rice demand in the midst of
relatively high population growth of around 2.3 - 2.7 percent and per
capita income of 4 per cent [5]. Then the record was again achieved
in 2022 by getting an award from the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI) for a resilient food agriculture system and rice self-
sufficiency in 2019-2021 through the application of rice technology
innovations [6]. One of the rice innovations being intensified by the
Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Limpo to achieve rice self-sufficiency is
the Plantation Index 400 (IP 400) policy program which has been
implemented in various regions in Indonesia. IP 400 is planted four
times a year on the same land as planting ultra-early rice varieties.
Through this policy, the government hopes to increase the harvested
area without increasing the land area, and the total rice production per
hectare per year can be doubled so that domestic food security can
continue to be achieved [7]. To ensure the successful application of IP
400, the Agricultural Research and Development Agency determines
four conditions that must be met, namely one expanse with a minimum
area of 25 hectares when planting must be simultaneous, tertiary plots
close to secondary canals, irrigation water available for 11 months,
and land used not is a pest and disease endemic area [8]. An area of
800,000 hectares of locations in Indonesia that have been identified
as suitable for planting IP 400. So to make the IP 400 program a
success for the 2022 Fiscal Year, various forms of support from the
regional and central governments are carried out. The Directorate
General of Food Crops through the Directorate of Serelia provides
support in the form of developing nutrient-rich or biofortified rice
covering an area of 35,000 hectares at the provincial level using the
Inpari Nutri Zinc/Inpago 13 Fortiz variety. A similar form of support was
carried out by the central government covering an area of 65,000
