Abstract

The objective of this research is to see the development of cocoa competitiveness and its determining factors in the Southeast Sulawesi trade. The data used in the study were collected from several institutions, namely Central Statistics Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), in the form of time series data from 2011-2022. The research methodology applied the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) for determining the development of cocoa competitiveness and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis for the determinants of cocoa trade. The results of the analysis show that Southeast Sulawesi's superior cocoa commodity has competitiveness. The RCA value can be seen from 2011 to 2018 and is still quite good. It is proven that the average RCA is above 4, although in the following year the RCA value shows a decreasing trend until 2022. Moreover, the determining factors for the competitiveness of Southeast Sulawesi’s cocoa are land area, production factors, domestic prices and international prices. Only the domestic price variable partially has a notable effect on its competitiveness. This research can be made a reference for the local government to adopt any policies regarding the export of cocoa beans and processed products so that it can encourage and increase the competitiveness of Southeast Sulawesi cocoa through implementing downstreaming, improving infrastructure and national cocoa research and development.

Abstract

Inflammation is a protective response to tissue injury aimed at neutralizing or eliminating invasive organisms triggered by physical trauma. One of the plants known for its anti-inflammatory properties is the porang tuber, which contains flavonoids. This study aimed to determine the anti-inflammatory effect and effective dosage of ethanol extract of porang tuber (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) in male rats (Rattus norvegicus). An experimental design was employed, utilizing 20 white rats divided into five treatment groups: a negative control (1% NaCMC), a positive control (sodium diclofenac), and porang tuber ethanol extract at doses of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 400 mg/kgBW. Test preparations were administered one hour before the induction of 1% carrageenan (0.1 mL, intraplantar). Paw edema volume was measured plethysmographically every 60 minutes for 6 hours. Statistical analysis, performed via one-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test, revealed no significant difference between the positive control group and the porang tuber ethanol extract groups. In conclusion, the porang tuber ethanol extract exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, with a dose of 400 mg/kgBW identified as the most effective.
