BPS Jepara Conducts Training for 2026 NTP Weighting Diagram Refinement

BPS-Statistics Jepara Regency organized training for officers involved in the 2026 Farmers' Terms of Trade (NTP) Weighting Diagram Refinement (SPDT NTP) project on October 5–6, 2026, at the Syailendra Hotel, Jepara. The activity was led by Rum Wikandini, a Junior Expert Statistician, and attended by 19 officers, comprising 4 Field Supervisors (PML) and 15 Field Enumerators (PPL).

The training prepares officers to collect data on the production, income, and expenditure patterns of farming households. This data is used to refine the weighting diagram so that it aligns with changes in production and consumption patterns, as well as the current socio-economic conditions of farmers.

An accurate weighting diagram serves as a crucial basis for calculating the Farmers' Terms of Trade (NTP)—an indicator used to assess trends in farmers' purchasing power by comparing the prices farmers receive with the prices they pay.

Through the 2026 SPDT NTP, BPS aims to produce more accurate and representative agricultural statistics to serve as a foundation for formulating and evaluating agricultural development policies and improving farmers' welfare.
