Abstract

The sugar palm is one of the most important commodities in the Rejang Lebong Regency. Sugar palms have not been widely processed into value-added products because the community solely produces brown sugar. The goal of this study is to identify potential challenges and propose product diversification strategies that will boost the value added and sustainability of sugar palm firms in the Rejang Lebong Regency. This study was carried out in the Rejang Lebong Regency during August to October 2023. Data were gathered through observations, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews. A fishbone diagram was used to identify potential and map product diversification challenges, while palm product diversification plans were developed using a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) matrix. The research results indicated that the diversification of sugar palm products is hindered by limited human resources in using technological innovations, restricted use of agricultural machinery, insufficient business partnerships, and local government programs that are not yet integrated into the development of product diversification. The strategy for sugar palm product diversification can be implemented by developing market alliances and improving processing technologies for MSMEs, with government program assistance and access to funding. This technique is expected to improve the quality and pricing of sugar palm products at the farmer level. Keywords: added value, aren palm, Arenga pinnata Merr, diversification strategy

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze various factors influencing cabbage farm production and to assess the income generated from cabbage farming. Methodology: The research was conducted in Selupu Rejang Subdistrict, Rejang Lebong Regency, using both primary and secondary data as sources of information. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 92 cabbage farmers from the four largest cabbage-producing villages in Selupu Rejang Subdistrict, namely Sambirejo, Sumber Bening, Karang Jaya, and Sumber Urip. The data analysis methods employed were the Cobb-Douglass production function analysis and income analysis. Results: The study found that land area, manure, Gracia pesticide, Seprint pesticide, male family labor (TKDK), and female family labor (TKLK) had a statistically significant effect on cabbage production in Selupu Rejang Subdistrict. The average income from cabbage farming was IDR 7,166,834 per farming unit per planting season (Ut/Mt), equivalent to IDR 27,821,659 per hectare per planting season (Ha/Mt). Findings: This income level indicates that cabbage farming in Selupu Rejang Subdistrict provides a reasonable profit for farmers. Originality: This study highlights the factors influencing cabbage farm production and income. Novelty: The study offers an in-depth analysis of both the production and financial aspects of cabbage farming. Conclusion: Cabbage farming in Selupu Rejang Subdistrict is profitable and feasible to pursue.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the income and efficiency of spring onion farming with different planting patterns. Methodology: This research was conducted in Selupu Rejang District, Rejang Lebong Regency in November 2024. The sample in this study was determined by purposive sampling method with a total sample size of 78 farmers. The data used were primary data and secondary data. The analytical methods used include cost analysis, income, efficiency and comparative analysis. Results: The intercropping pattern (spring onion-broccoli) gave the highest average income and real efficiency of Rp16,210,364/Ut/MT or equivalent to Rp38,610,249/Ha/MT, and an efficiency value of 2.3. Findings: The intercropping pattern of leek farming provides higher income and efficiency than the monoculture pattern. Novelty: This study analyzes the comparison of income and efficiency of leek farming patterns in three different cropping patterns. Originality: The intercropping pattern of spring onion with a combination of broccoli and mustard greens is still rarely studied. Conclusion: Income and real efficiency of monoculture and intercropping patterns are different, while income and unreal efficiency are not different. Type of Paper: Empirical Research Article.
