Training for Producer Price Survey data collectors

Economic development continues to take place along with technological advances, making a shift in the economic structure begin to occur from what was previously dominated by the agricultural sector to the industrial and service sectors.
These changes in economic structure have resulted in relatively large changes in trade patterns and production of goods and services.
Dynamic market behavior makes it difficult for market players to predict changes in prices of goods and services. One of the monetary policies in Indonesia is to maintain the stability of the rupiah value for goods and services.
The formation of the price of a good or service first starts from the producer level. Price fluctuations are transmitted from producers to wholesalers to consumers at retail traders. This makes producer prices the price leaders of other price levels.
Since October 2013, BPS has released IHP at the national level. The IHP sector coverage released is: agricultural sector, mining and quarrying sector, processing industry sector.
Data users' demand for IHP data is increasing both in terms of regional coverage and activity coverage. Several data users have asked for IHP at the provincial level and increased sector coverage. Matter
