- Bengkayang
Bengkayang is a regency ("kabupaten") in
West Kalimantan province,Indonesia (on the island ofBorneo ). Before the expansion it was a part ofSambas County. After the expansion Sambas County was divided into three separate autonomous counties, that is, Sambas County, Bengkayang County, andSingkawang City.Bengkayang is located in northern West Kalimantan, sharing a border with
Sarawak inMalaysia . With good arable land and favourable relief, the agricultural sector is the main economic source. Bengkayang is also rich in natural resources.Economically the county is still lagging, but it is hoped that the new automony will catalyze development.
