Notes: (a) Poultry household; (b)Preliminary figureAs well as providing income and food to farmers, ducks help control insects and weeds in irrigated rice lands. Research from West Java reported by Nari (1992) indicated that for a 1 ha plot, allocating 0.8 ha to rice, 0.1 ha to rice-fish and 0.1 ha to ducks would double net returns over the traditional rice-rice-fallow practice. The decline in the number of households with ducks, evident from Table 23, could therefore be viewed as an undesirable development from an ecological viewpoint as well as from a financial viewpoint. Table 25 provides a breakdown of the number of ducks in each of the provinces as well as the increase in their numbers between 1985 and 1997. It is apparent that in most provinces, the changes in numbers were small relative to the changes that occurred for chickens. Overall duck numbers were about 31% higher in 1997 than in 1985.Source: Direktorat Jenderal Peternakan (1996), p. 59
