Farming in Indonesia

The Exotic Places for Agricultural

More than 60% of Indonesia's population work in agriculture, this is why Indonesia called as an agricultural country. There are two types of agriculture are predominant in Indonesia: permanent irrigated rice farming ( sawah ) and rotating swidden or slash-and-burn ( ladang ) farming of rice, corn, and other crops. The former dominates Java, Bali, and the highlands all along the western coast of Sumatra; the latter is found in other parts of Sumatra and other outer islands, but not exclusively so.
A lot of interesting things that can be seen in the paddy field, such as:
  • The farmers who row to the paddy field in a line
  • The farmers who work side by side 
  • The traditional way of planting
  • The traditional irrigation system
  • Paddy field which located outside the urban areas
  • Ceremony tradition of planting and harvest time
  • Coolness color of paddy itself
And Of course this will become an attractive tourist destination, when you come to agriculture country like Indonesia.
