The increase in NTP of 0.95 percent occurred due to the increase in prices of various agricultural commodities such as rice prices which tend to increase during the Gadu season, prices of plantation commodities which are still high in line with the high price of chocolate on the world market, ahead of the Idul Adha holiday which triggers an increase in prices. large and small livestock as well as the transition season which causes high waves at sea have an impact on the lack of fishing results so that the price of fish also rises. Meanwhile, fruit is starting to enter the main harvest so prices are falling further.

Meanwhile, one subsector experienced a decline, namely the horticultural crops subsector, which fell by 1.02 percent.
