Abstract

This study examines the comparative advantages of agricultural products from highland and lowland areas in South Sumatra Province using the Location Quotient (LQ) method. The research aims to identify specific commodities that dominate each region and evaluate their potential for regional economic development. Data were collected from agricultural production reports, regional economic statistics, and field surveys. The LQ analysis reveals the agricultural specialization in both highland and lowland regions. Highland areas primarily focus on plantation crops such as coffee and tea, while lowland areas excel in rice production and horticulture. The results indicate that highland commodities have a high LQ value, reflecting their contribution to the regional economy and export potential. Conversely, lowland commodities showcompetitive advantages in meeting local demand and supporting food security. This comparative analysis highlights the importance of tailoring agricultural policies to the unique characteristics of each region. Strategies such as infrastructure development, market access improvement, and sustainable farming practices can enhance productivity and competitiveness. The findings also emphasize the need for diversification and value-added processing to increase income and reduce economic vulnerability in both highland and lowland areas.

Abstract

Tanaman kelapa pada area yang mengalami siklus pasang surut dan penggenangan air mengahadapi beberapa kendala jika tidak dikelola dengan optimal. Untuk itu penyuluhan budidaya yang tepat, dan pengenalan pola tanam yang optimal untuk dapat meningkatkan penerimaan yang maksimal pada usahatani kelapa menjadi sangat perlu. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman petani pada pengetahuan tentang tumpang sari meningkat dari 36,4% (4 orang) menjadi 90,9% (10 orang), pemahaman terhadap manfaat meningkat dari 27,3% (3 orang) menjadi 81,8% (9 orang), dan keyakinan akan nilai ekonomi tumpang sari meningkat dari 45,5% (5 orang) menjadi 72,7% (8 orang). Sebanyak 10 dari 11 petani menyatakan ketertarikan untuk menerapkan optimalisasi lahan melalui teknik tumpang sari, meskipun masih ditemukan satu petani yang ragu karena terbatasnya modal, usia petani, dan usia tanaman yang sudah tidak memungkinkan untuk melakukan adaptasi terhadap metode budidaya baru. Kegiatan penyuluhan yang telah dilakukan berhasil mengubah persepsi dan minat petani, membuka peluang peningkatan produktivitas dan pendapatan petani. Untuk keberlanjutan diperlukan kegiatan penyuluhan sesuai kebutuhan yaitu pelatihan maupun pengetahuan dalam analisis pasar dan praktik lapangan.Abstract. Coconut plants in areas that experience ebb and flow cycles and waterlogging face several obstacles if not managed optimally. For this reason, appropriate cultivation extension and introduction of optimal planting patterns to be able to increase maximum income from coconut farming are very necessary. The results showed an increase in farmers' understanding of intercropping knowledge increased from 36.4% (4 people) to 90.9% (10 people), understanding of the benefits increased from 27.3% (3 people) to 81.8% (9 people), and belief in the economic value of intercropping increased from 45.5% (5 people) to 72.7% (8 people). As many as 10 out of 11 farmers expressed interest in implementing land optimization through intercropping techniques, although one farmer was still hesitant due to limited capital, age of the farmer, and age of the plants that no longer allow for adaptation to new cultivation methods. The extension activities that have been carried out have succeeded in changing farmers' perceptions and interests, opening up opportunities for increasing farmer productivity and income. For sustainability, extension activities are needed according to needs, namely training and knowledge in market analysis and field practice.
