Abstract

The productivity of oil palm harvesters is an important factor in supporting the achievement of production targets of plantation companies. This study aims to analyze the effect of premiums, work experience, age, and number of dependents on the productivity of oil palm harvesters in Afdeling III Kebun Bah Birung Ulu PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional II. The study used a quantitative method with a saturated sample of 35 harvesters. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression through the classical assumption test, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results showed that partially premiums and work experience had a positive and significant effect on labor productivity, while age had a negative and significant effect. The number of dependents did not have a significant effect on labor productivity. Simultaneously, premiums, work experience, age, and number of dependents had a significant effect on labor productivity. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.737 indicates that 73.7% of the variation in labor productivity can be explained by the research variables, while the remaining 26.3% is influenced by other factors outside the model. The research results confirm that increasing premiums and work experience are the main factors that can increase the productivity of palm oil harvesting workers.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the marketing channel patterns and analyze the marketing efficiency of palm sap brown sugar in Laut Tador Village, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted from February to April 2026 using a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative and qualitative methods. Respondents were selected using the snowball sampling technique, involving producers and marketing institutions. Data were collected through observations, interviews, documentation, and literature reviews. The data were analyzed descriptively by calculating marketing costs, marketing margins, farmer's share, benefit-cost ratios, and marketing efficiency. The results revealed two marketing channel patterns: Channel I (producer–consumer) and Channel II (producer–retailer–consumer). Channel I incurred a marketing cost of IDR 195/kg, generated a marketing margin of IDR 7,689/kg, a profit of IDR 7,494/kg, a farmer's share of 100%, a profit-to-cost ratio of 38%, and a marketing efficiency value of 1.08%. Meanwhile, Channel II recorded a total marketing cost of IDR 371/kg, with marketing margins of IDR 5,181/kg at the producer level and IDR 2,362/kg at the retailer level. The total profit amounted to IDR 7,173/kg, consisting of IDR 5,136/kg for producers and IDR 2,037/kg for retailers. The farmer's share in Channel II was 87.12%, while the profit-to-cost ratios were 110.9% for producers and 6.24% for retailers. The marketing efficiency values were 0.28% at the producer level and 1.77% at the retailer level. Based on all evaluated indicators, both marketing channels were classified as efficient. However, Channel I was found to be more efficient because it had a shorter marketing chain, lower marketing costs, and provided a larger share of the final price and higher profits to producers.

This position indicates that the company is in a favorable position, so the recommended strategy is an aggressive strategy (SO), which utilizes the company's strengths to seize opportunities through improving product quality, setting competitive prices, expanding distribution networks, and optimizing digital-based promotions.
