Tenggarong Seberang subdistrict had been an agriculture area since the 1980s which was started when migrants were located there. The subdistrict had ever been a rice granary for Kutai Kartanegara Regency. To support the agricultural activity, the regency goverment developed a rice processing unit to increase the quality of rice from that place. However, while the coal mining activity around Tenggarong Seberang is increasing, at the same time the agricultural land has changed its function become a mining concession.
