The government recognizes that concentrated growth in north java is considered unsustainable in the long term. to achieve a more balanced development and economic distribution, there has been a deliberate shift towards developing southern java, with a particular focus on east java province. in 2020, the gdp of east java province amounted to $153,319.4 million, contributing 14.6% to indonesias overall gdp, and the poverty rate was 11%, slightly higher than the national average of around 10%. this emphasis on enhancing the economy of southern java, especially in east java province, is crucial due to significant economic disparities in the region. in east java province, districts, especially those heavily reliant on the agriculture sector like jember and banyuwangi, face the challenge of having a gross regional domestic product per capita that is approximately 40% lower than the provincial average, and their economic growth also slower than that of east java province.
