Abstract

The agribusiness sector plays a strategic role in producing food for the community. The agribusiness sector consists of several interrelated subsystems. When a disruption occurs in one subsystem, it will affect the other subsystems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of the agribusiness subsystem in vegetable farming in Kehiran Village, East Sentani District, Jayapura Regency. Based on the results of the study, it shows various agribusiness index scores, namely: the production input procurement subsystem was 15.80, the farming subsystem was 19.90, and the marketing subsystem was 5.80. All four subsystems are in the good category. The service and support subsystem index was 4.55, indicating a poor category. The agribusiness system index score in vegetable farming was 13.486. The maximum value of the agribusiness system was 18.090, so the performance of the agribusiness system in vegetable farming was in the poor category. Based on this, the development of vegetable farming in Kehiran Village must be supported by other aspects. For example, ease of access to capital loans for farmers, intensity of extension activities, formation of farming cooperatives, and the active role of farmer groups as a means of learning and a source of information for farmers.

Abstract

Unsustainable use of natural resources can cause environmental damage. As in the nickel mining activities of PT. X, water, and air pollution cause diseases such as itchy skin and coughs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic impacts of water and air pollution. The study was conducted in the Tinanggea District, covering Lapoa and Bomba-Bomba Villages. The research location was determined using purposive sampling because residents in both villages experienced negative impacts from pollution. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with economic valuation. Quantitative data were obtained through interviews with 45 rice farmers. Community losses were estimated using the cost-of-illness method, lost income, and decreased productivity. The value of losses due to water quality degradation includes medical costs of IDR 15,974,604/Year and lost income costs of IDR 55,650,604/Year. Air pollution causes coughs suffered by children in Lapoa and Bomba-Bomba Villages. This analysis uses only the medical cost approach, which is IDR 1,089,000/Year. The total loss due to water and air pollution is estimated at IDR 72,714,208/Year. Therefore, government supervision of nickel mining activities is needed, while PT. X must restore environmental quality to prevent further harm to the community
