Abstract

Determining leading commodities is very important to increase regional competitiveness in economic development. This research aims to identify leading commodities for vegetable and fruit crops in the Brebes Regency, analyze the continuity of leading commodities, and determine the pattern and structure of leading commodities. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data for 2018-2022. Data were analyzed using the Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), and Klassen Typology analysis methods. The analysis results show that Brebes Regency's leading commodities for vegetable and fruit crops are shallot, rose apple, mango, banana, sapodilla, breadfruit, apple, melinjo, and twisted cluster bean. Potential commodities that have the opportunity to become leading commodities in the future are welch onion, yard long bean, chilli, cayenne pepper, tomato, eggplant, green bean, chayote, duku, guava, tangerine, mangosteen, pineapple, papaya, rambutan, salacca, grape, and jengkol. The pattern and structure of vegetable and fruit crops in Brebes Regency, which is considered advanced and fast-growing, is shallots. Plants with fast-growing patterns and structures are garlic, Welsh onion, cabbage, yard long bean, chili, cayenne pepper, tomato, eggplant, green bean, cucumber, chayote, water spinach, melon, watermelon, star fruit, duku, durian, rose apple, tangerine, mangosteen, pineapple, papaya, banana, grape, and jengkol.

Abstract

Increasing maize productivity is a strategic step for developing the global agricultural sector. Maize plays an important role as a source of food, feed, industrial raw materials, and energy sources. However, maize production faces internal risks, such as capital availability, management capacity, land ownership, and external risks, such as climate change, pest attacks, and limited agricultural inputs. This study discusses the development of maize production risks in ten major producing countries, including the USA, China, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. The study uses secondary data from FAOSTAT from 1961-2021 (61 years). The study uses a qualitative method by analysing maize production trends and risks using the coefficient of variation (CV) analysis. The analysis results show that the USA ranks first as the largest maize producer in the world, followed by China and Brazil, with an increasing trend over the past 61 years. This is related to adopting biotechnology, food production, and precision farming systems. France and the USA have low CV values of 0.36 and 0.40, indicating that the risk of maize production in the two countries is relatively low compared to the other eight countries. Maize stabilization in the USA is supported by implementing irrigation and precision farming models to reduce the impact of drought due to climate variability. On the other hand, Argentina, Ukraine, and Indonesia have high CV values, indicating a high risk of maize production in the three countries. Several factors causing high production risks are climate change in the form of increasing average annual temperatures, attacks of Maize Stunt Disease, political challenges, inaccurate use of fertilizers, low technology adoption, and limited resources.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine the mangosteen marketing system in Bogor and Purwakarta.  The research methods used were qualitative and quantitative.  The results showed that the mangosteen marketing institutions in Bogor and Tasikmalaya Regencies consisted of farmers as producers, middlemen, collectors, exporters, and agro-industrial mangosteen processing institutions. In Bogor Regency, only 4 percent of farmers are ready to become marketing institutions capable of selling their products, while in Tasikmalaya Regency, the percentage is around 17 percent.  The farmer’s share of the price at the domestic consumer level indicates that the most effective marketing system is in Tasikmalaya, Purwakarta, and among mangosteen farmers in Bogor. The farmer’s share value for exported mangosteen in Bogor is 17.38, in Tasikmalaya it is 58.96, and in Purwakarta it is 48.78. The price formation process in both Bogor and Tasikmalaya districts is one-sided. Farmers tend to be price takers from the marketing institutions above them. An analysis of the correlation between the marketing institutions chosen by farmers and their income shows a fairly strong relationship of approximately 31.8 percent. Recommendations for improving the quality of mangosteen in Bogor, Tasikmalaya, and Purwakarta include the need for proper technical training in mangosteen cultivation and the production of organic products, accompanied by enhanced farmers' management capabilities regarding mangosteen marketing channels.
