Abstract

The income level will influence household spending patterns. In conditions of limited income, low-income or poor households will prioritise allocating their income to buying food. This income will be used to spend on food for survival so it will affect the quantity and quality of household food consumption. Good quality food consumption indicates that nutritional adequacy levels are met. This research analyses the factors influencing household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency. This research used a survey method and was carried out in three sub-districts in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, namely Kemala Raja, Sekar Jaya and Tanjung Baru Villages. The method for determining respondents is random sampling using the Parell et all (1973) formula with the statement if the variance of the total population is unknown, so the best way to determine the sample is to use a percentage of the entire population, namely 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% or 50% of the population. The population is 2126 families, obtained by 2%, namely 42.52 and determined to be 43 families. This research used multiple linear regression models to determine the factors influencing food consumption patterns using multiple linear analyses. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the factors that influence household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, are income (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4). The variable that has the most influence on household food consumption patterns in East Baturaja District, OKU Regency, is the income level variable (X1). Simultaneously or together, the income variable (X1), number of family members (X2), age (X3), and education level (X4) has a significant influence. R2 showed this with a value of 97.9%.

Abstract

East OKU Regency, located in South Sumatra, is one of the largest catfish producers through pond cultivation. Recently, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries designated East OKU Regency as a center for catfish farming, a status formally recognized by officials from South Sumatra and East OKU Regency. The catfish cultivation village spans 1,200 hectares and produces 30 tons annually. To ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly aquaculture practices, and to enhance fish farmers' incomes, effective development strategies are necessary. This research explores strategies for developing aquaculture villages in East OKU Regency. The study employs a case study method, focusing on Belitang District as a representative example of an aquaculture village in South Sumatra Province. A simple random sampling method was used to select 90 farmer groups from a population of 900 fish farmers. The research data were processed and analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify strategies for advancing fish farming villages in East OKU Regency. The findings suggest that the optimal development strategy (SO Strategy) involves providing training and skills related to technology and production systems to boost catfish output. Additionally, strengthening cultivator group institutions is crucial for facilitating the adoption of product quality standards and improving production quality to meet market demands.

Abstract

Rubber farmers in Indonesia make lump slabs with ant acid and some still use freezing materials that can damage the quality of rubber such as alum. Besides causing damage to the quality of the rubber, it also causes a bad smell which is very disturbing to the people around the place where the latex is processed. The pungent foul odor is caused by bacteria which biodegrade proteins into ammonia and sulfide compounds. OKU Regency is the fifth largest district in the area of ??rubber plantations in South Sumatra Province. Based on land suitability, plantations are a potential sector to be developed with the superior commodity rubber. The smallholder plantation sector with rubber is the leading commodity in the Ogan Komering Ulu Regency area. This research will be carried out in Lubuk Raja District, OKU Regency. The location determination was carried out purposively considering that Lubuk Raja District, OKU Regency, is one of the rubber producing areas in South Sumatra, especially OKU. The research method used in this research is the survey method. The sampling method used in the research is to answer the formulation of the big problem of rubber farmer income in Lubuk Raja District using income analysis and comparative analysis. Based on the analysis of the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the average income of farmers who use ant acid per hectare per month is IDR 5,093,515.15/ha/month. Meanwhile, the average income of rubber farmers who use alum freezers is higher than the income of farmers using ant acid freezers, namely IDR 20,234,572.46/ha/month. Based on the Independent Sample t-Test in the Equal Variances Assumed section, the sig value (2-tailed) is 0.04 < 0.05 (95% confidence level). So it is concluded that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected, which means there is a difference in the income of lump rubber farmers who use ant acid and alum freezers.

Abstract

East OKU Regency is the second-largest rice-producing region in South Sumatra, following Banyuasin Regency, with a harvest area of 108,140.86 hectares in 2022. In recent years, the cultivation of certified organic rice has been developed in East OKU, particularly in East Buay Madang District and Belitang II District. These areas began developing organic rice in 2016 and received organic certification from INOFICE in 2020. This study examines the income differences between organic and non-organic rice farmers in East OKU Regency. The research was conducted in January 2024 in East OKU Regency using a survey method and disproportionate stratified random sampling. The sample consisted of 30 organic rice farmers out of 97 and 30 non-organic rice farmers out of 175 in Belitang Mulya District. Data analysis involved using an income equation to calculate farmers' income and the t-student test to determine the income differences between organic and non-organic rice farmers. The results show that the income of certified organic rice farmers in East OKU Regency is IDR 28,791,050 per hectare per year, or IDR 48,758,30 per hectare per year, which is significantly higher than the income of non-organic rice farmers, who earn IDR 11,334,887 per hectare per year, or IDR 24,574,281 per hectare per year. The difference in income between certified organic and non-organic rice farming in East OKU Regency is IDR 17,456,163 per hectare per year, or IDR 24,184,022 per hectare per year.
