Abstract

The objectives of this paper are to analyze the competitiveness and comparativeadvantage of broiler production and to recommend alternative policies on import tariff andnon-import tariff barriers for chicken leg-quarter (CLQ), aimed at protecting the nationalbroiler industry. The results of the analysis indicate that Indonesia has the comparativeadvantage of whole chicken, but not in the form of parting chicken, particularly CLQ. Underan assumption that the profit of broiler industry is at least 20 percent of the total broilerproduction costs, the import tariff rate for CLQ should be 100 percent of CIF value of US$630/ton. Should the profit be 25 percent and 30 percent of the total broiler production costs,the fair tariff rates would be 110 percent and 120 percent. Such an import tariff policy forCLQ should be complemented by several strategic non-tariff policies, i.e.: (i) ASUH policy(save, healthy, whole and halal) which is considered comprehensive and effective; (ii) overallreview on the implementation of halal conditions in USA; (iii) import quantity barrier forCLQ as raw material for processed meat industry; (iv) smuggling abolition and lawenforcement as the consequences of a high import tariff implementation; and (v) for theurgency and the economic viability of the national broiler industry, it is essential to carry outpolitical lobby to limit or even to stop CLQ export from USA to Indonesia.

Keempat sektor basis ini terkait erat dengan pariwisata yang menjadi motor penggerak perekonomian Bali; (2) Pemerintah Kabupaten Cq. Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah Kabupaten di Bali perlu melakukan analisis sektor-sektor basis dalam perekonomian daerah masing-masing. Ini berkaitan dengan rencana alokasi sumberdaya investasi Pemerintah Provinsi Bali ke sektor-sektor basis di setiap kabupaten di Bali.

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2003 and took place in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB).The objectives of study were: to evaluate the implementation of the integrated pestmanagement School on farmer field (IPM-FFS), farmers adoption of IPM technology,changes of farm productivity and income. The result showed, that majority of farmershave controlled the pest based on principles of IPM. Firstly, the farmer do preventivecontrol by adopting some practices to make crops grow healthy, apply biological andmechanical control, and also use organic pesticide. Finally, if the intensity of pest's attackwere still in the level of economic injury the farmer would use chemical pesticide. Agroecosystemobservation has been adopted by alumni farmer (100%) and non-alumni (34,5%), mechanical control have been adopted by (100%) and non-alumni (66, 6%), andorganic pesticide have been adopted by alumni (6, 7%) and non-alumni (13, 3%). Whilethe application of chemical pesticide not be found because the intensity of pest attack wasstill low and the costly pesticide price push reduction of chemical pesticide use. Thealumni productivity was 300kg and non-alumni were 270 kg/ha/year. If all expenses offarm were counted, farm benefit of alumni and non-alumni would be disadvantage,namely Rp.206 thousand and Rp.287 thousand/ha/year, respectively. If family labor costwere not counted, they would be advantage, namely Rp.858 thousand and Rp.735thousand/ha/year, respectively. Then if all expenditure coming from property of farmer(family labor and organic fertilizer) were not counted, they would be advantage, namelyRp.890 thousand and Rp.771 thousand/ha/year, respectively. Based on statistical test,productivity and farm benefit of alumni and non-alumni were not different. Introducingthe low cost technology (IPM-FFS) is very suited for cashew nut farmer because theircapital are still low such as using organic pesticides available in their field, biological andmechanical control, and organic manure. Considering its progress, IPM-FFS is suggestedto overspread to other location.

Abstract

Agroindustry is one of the important sub-sectors to be developed. The development of agroindustry is expected to be able to absorb agricultural products from farmers. Agricultural products that are still in the form of primary products will be processed into secondary or tertiary products so that they will produce added value. The added value of a product is very important to increase the selling price of the product. The purpose of study are (1) calculate and analyze the value of tempe from the processing process to the consumer's hand, (2) analyze the effect of the amount of soybeans, the price of tempeh and the contribution of other inputs to the added value of tempe. The method used in this study is the census method. Sampling is done by taking all respondents totaling 34 tempe producers through interviews with the help of questionnaires. The added value was analyzed using the Hayami method. Test the difference in tempe value-added ratio using one sample t test. The test of the effect of the amount of soybeans, the price of tempe and the contribution of other inputs to added value using Multiple Linear Regression. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the added value obtained from the processing of soybeans into tempe is significantly classified as moderate, which is equal to 34.65%. The price of tempe and the contribution of other inputs have a significant effect on the amount of added value of tempe, while the amount of soybeans does not significantly influence. The amount of added value produced shows that the tempe business can be developed. In order to increase the added value of tempe, tempe producers are advised to reduce the contribution costs of other inputs, especially on fuel costs and increase the selling price of tempe.

Abstract

Cattle development program, such as SIPT activity, has been implemented since 2002 in 11province. In 2003, as its realization, cattle population has reached 2000 heads. This SIPTactivity is an effort to increase cattle production, as well as food production through cattleraising activities in irrigated food crop land agro ecosystem zone. The base of the programis food crop and cattle production activities with Zero Waste Base. The objective of thisresearch is to study how far the role of cattle raiser groups in implementing SIPT programis and its impact on SIPT non participant cattle raisers in West Nusa Tenggara, East Java,and West Java. The results of this study show that the role of cattle raiser groups inimplementing SIPT activities varies with the development condition in each region. Ingeneral, the cattle raiser groups have implemented and have taken the benefit of the goalsand basic concept of SIPT. Nevertheless, there are still some constrains and failures, suchas not maximally use of hay as cattle feed and not optimally use of collective cattle cage. Inthe future, government, especially local government, should be more serious in creatingconducive environment, such as good investment service and high attention to livestockdevelopment, especially cattle development.

Abstract

Institutional of Vegetable Commodity Marketing and Partnership: Cases in Villages ofCentral Java and North Sumatra. Although agribusiness is the biggest contributor of foreignexchange earnings, however, volume of imported vegetables and fruits tent to increase. Thissituation triggered some disadvantageous suppression on farm gate prices. The results of theresearch conducted in villages of Central and North Sumatra showed that national vegetableproducts could not compete with other country’s products. National trading pattern consistedof wholesale trading, medium scale trading and small scale trading. Marketing cost wasrelatively high while community’s accessibility on formal financing institutional was quitelow. Most traders served partnerships with farmers to maintain supply continuity in the meantime farmers could get capital for input production and marketing security. Consumer’s pricewas very fluctuate due to perishable natures and it is concentrated in a region. Consequently,relationship functions among agribusiness agents is required as well as storage facilities in theagribusiness centers.
