The main cause of the shrinking of rice fields in Padang, according to the local agriculture department, is the conversion of land from rice fields to residential areas. Observations in the field on Friday and Saturday showed that several housing projects were being carried out on former rice fields.In the Batipuh Panjang Village of Padang City, on Saturday afternoon, for example, dozens of houses are being built around the paddy fields.
Arif Rahman Hariko , a rice farmer in the surrounding area, said to his knowledge, the housing complex was previously a former rice field. The land had been purchased by a developer a long time ago, but construction only began in recent years. Yoice explained that last year's rice production in Padang reached approximately 45,000 tons. Meanwhile, until July, rice production was around 27,000 tons out of the targeted 50,000 tons for 2023. Rice production in Padang only contributes about 30 percent of the population's needs, with the rest being supplied from other areas in West Sumatera, such as Padang Pariaman, Solok, and Tanah Datar.
