Abstract

Deli Serdang Regency is one of the key beef cattle production centers in North Sumatra, playing a crucial role in efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in meat production at both the provincial and national levels. However, in recent years, the population and production of beef cattle in this region have fluctuated, while the demand for beef remains unmet. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors influencing the performance of inseminators in improving beef cattle production in Deli Serdang Regency. This research employs a non-random sampling method using judgment sampling techniques. The sample consists of all inseminators from the Department of Agriculture and Livestock of Deli Serdang, totaling 42 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using the SEM method with the assistance of SmartPLS4 software. The results indicate that variables such as rewards, leadership, communication, and knowledge have a positive but statistically insignificant impact on inseminator performance (P Value > 0.05). Meanwhile, skills have a positive and significant influence on inseminator performance (P Value < 0.05). Indirect testing reveals that rewards, leadership, and communication influence motivation but are not significant. Similarly, knowledge affects ability but is also not significant. However, skills have a significant impact on inseminator performance. Between 2018 and 2022, the beef cattle population in Deli Serdang Regency increased by 1.44%, reaching 102,985 heads. Conversely, beef production declined by -1.27%, with a total production of 2,040,172 tons.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether sustainable palm oil plantation processing through the utilization of palm oil waste itself is very effective. This is based on the many errors in processing palm oil land that result in land damage, such as excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Data collection in this study used qualitative methods. Data collection was carried out using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The study was conducted at PT. Padasa Enam Utama and PT. Inti Kamparindo Sejahtera. The study's findings indicate that using liquid palm oil waste and palm fronds is also very efficient. Palm oil waste will become an organic material that does not damage the soil. On the other hand, palm oil waste will also be helpful in fertilizing oil palm plants. So, using palm oil fronds as an alternative to fertilization is very good. This is because palm oil fronds will not damage the nutrients in the soil. Therefore, palm oil fronds and liquid waste can be an option in sustainable palm oil processing

Abstract

Sumatera Utara merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia dengan potensi pertanian yang besar, terutama pada komoditas kelapa sawit. Fluktuasi harga Tandan Buah Segar (TBS) menjadi masalah serius bagi petani karena berdampak pada penurunan produksi dan pendapatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi fluktuasi harga TBS di Sumatera Utara, seperti produksi TBS, harga CPO, dan curah hujan. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis Vector Auto Regression (VAR) dengan data sekunder dari tahun 1993-2023. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga TBS dipengaruhi oleh produksi TBS, harga CPO, dan curah hujan dalam jangka panjang. Dalam jangka pendek, hanya produksi TBS yang signifikan memengaruhi harga TBS. Studi ini merekomendasikan penetapan harga dasar TBS untuk menstabilkan harga dan melindungi petani dari kerugian akibat fluktuasi harga.

Abstract

The Tabut event in Bengkulu is a rich cultural tradition and has high social value, attracting the attention of many visitors. This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived cultural values on consumer purchase intentions within the context of the event. The method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationships between variables. The research population consisted of 171 people, and the sample was determined using Slovin’s formula with a 5% margin of error (0.05), resulting in a sample of 120 people selected through purposive sampling. The study results show that perceived cultural values have a significant positive influence on consumer purchase intentions. A strong cultural identity encourages consumers to buy products that are perceived to represent their cultural values. Additionally, high social value plays an important role in encouraging consumers to participate in the tradition and support local business actors. Positive emotional experiences during the event also increase consumers’ desire to make purchases, where social interactions and involvement in cultural activities strengthen the emotional connection with the product. This study provides valuable insights for marketers and business actors in designing more effective strategies to attract consumers during cultural events such as Tabut

Abstract

This study aims to (1) identify the marketing channel of curly red chili in Se Bingai District, Langkat Regency, and (2) analyze its marketing efficiency based on the market structure approach, market conduct, and market performance or SCP approach in the region. The research was conducted in Se Bingai District, Langkat Regency, from September to October 2024. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods with the SCP approach (structure, conduct, and performance). The results showed that there were four marketing channels in Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency. Market concentration is 74%, which indicates market dominance by several large actors. In addition, the Minimum Efficient Scale (MES) value in red chili marketing in Sei Bingai District was recorded at 26%, indicating inefficiency in the scale of production and distribution. The study also found that farmer's share in the red chili marketing channel varied, with values of 59%, 61%, 64%, and 77% reflecting the imbalance of profits received by farmers along the marketing chain, resulting in low profit margins. This condition indicates distribution inefficiencies that need to be corrected. The market performance shows an uneven distribution of margins, farmers share, and profit and cost ratios in each marketing institution. Based on the analysis, marketing channel four was identified as the most efficient option and worthy of consideration by farmers. To improve farmers' welfare, the government can implement strategic measures to address various issues, such as price fluctuations, market dominance by certain parties, and uneven distribution. These include more intensive price monitoring, stabilizing the supply and price of red chili, empowering farmers through strengthening cooperatives and access to market information, and improving transportation infrastructure to reduce the cost of red chili distribution.
