Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of certified oil palm seedlings in smallholder plantations in Aek Kuasan District, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra. The model used to explain the use of certified oil palm seedlings is the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with variables of attitude, subjective norms and perception of behavioral control. The method used to test the pattern of correlation relationships of variables is Multiple Linear Analysis using SPSS 22.0. The data of this study are primary data obtained using a questionnaire. Based on the results of regression and data analysis using the t-test, the t value of the attitude variable is 3.065 and the variable of perception of behavioral control is 3.170 greater than t Table 1.984 has a positive and significant effect on the intention to use certified oil palm seedlings, while the t value of the subjective norm variable is 1.403 smaller than t table 1.984 does not have a significant effect on the intention of farmers to use certified oil palm seedlings. The results of the determination coefficient test (R2) show that the variables of attitude, subjective norms, and perception of behavioral control can explain the dependent variable, namely farmers' intentions, by 38.7% and the remaining 61.3% is explained by other variables outside the model. Simultaneous testing uses the f test where the f count value of 20.217 is greater than the f table value of 2.47. This means that simultaneously the variables of attitude, subjective norms, and perception of behavioral control have a significant effect on farmers' intentions to use certified oil palm seeds in Aek Kuasan District, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra.

Abstract

This study discusses the analysis of cost efficiency in relation to revenue in the oil palm cultivation business at PTPN IV Pabatu Plantation, located in Tebing Tinggi District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra Province. The analysis was conducted for the period from January to December in the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. The study uses secondary data in the form of the Budget Plan (RAB) and actual cost realization and applies the Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) method as a tool to evaluate operational efficiency. This method is used to assess whether the operational expenses incurred are proportional to the revenue generated. The research was conducted in December 2024. The results show a BCR value of 3.21 in 2021, 2.86 in 2022, and 2.22 in 2023. Although the BCR values show a declining trend over the three-year period, all values remain above 1, indicating that the plantation operations are still efficient. Therefore, it can be concluded that cost management at PTPN IV Pabatu Plantation during this period continued to produce positive outcomes in terms of revenue.

Abstract

Analysis of the Potential of the Simarjarunjung Region for Increasing MSME Income. The research was conducted in February-March 2025 in Simarajarunjung Nagori Parik Sabungan, Dolok Pardamean District, Simalungun Regency. There were 30 respondents in this study, consisting of 15 visitors and 15 MSME entrepreneurs in Simarjarunjung. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify the potential of the Simarjarunjung area that can be developed to increase MSME income, (2) to address the challenges faced by MSME in Simarjarunjung in developing their businesses, and (3) to formulate appropriate strategies for developing MSME in Simarjarunjung to increase community income. The research method used was qualitative research, with data collection employing both primary and secondary data. Data analysis methods include validity and reliability tests to answer hypothesis 1 and SWOT analysis to answer hypotheses 2 and 3. The research results show that the validity tests for attraction, accessibility, and accommodation concluded that all calculated r values were greater than the table r values, thus deemed valid. However, in the validity test for ancillary factors, there were 4 statements, where 3 statements had r calculated > r table, thus deemed valid, while 1 statement had r calculated < r table, thus deemed invalid. The reliability test showed that the alpha value of all variables was greater than the reference value of >0.60, thus concluding that all statements were reliable. The research results using SWOT analysis showed that based on IFE and EFE calculations, the total scores were 1.13 and 1.01, respectively. Furthermore, in the SWOT diagram, it was in quadrant 1, where the Simarjarunjung area had greater strengths and opportunities than weaknesses and threats.  The conclusion of this study is that SMEs in Simarjarunjung have regional potential that can be leveraged to increase MSME income in Simarjarunjung, such as natural beauty, strategic location, attractive photo spots, and major festivals. However, they also have weaknesses and limitations, such as limited capital, similar attractions, inadequate public transportation access to the Simarjarunjung region, insufficient MSME promotion, and the SWOT matrix to determine MSME strategies in Simarjarunjung.

Abstract

Labor productivity is a critical factor in determining operational efficiency in the oil palm plantation sector. This study aims to analyze the influence of age, work experience, and wages on the productivity of harvest workers at PTPN IV Pabatu Plantation Unit. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression. A sample of 80 respondents was selected from the population of permanent harvest workers through random sampling. The results indicate that, simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect labor productivity. Partially, age and wages have a significant influence, while work experience does not. Wages were found to be the most dominant factor in enhancing productivity. These findings suggest the need for fair wage policies and performance-based incentive systems to improve harvesting efficiency in plantation operations.

Abstract

Palm oil stands as a vital commodity within Indonesia’s plantation industry, holding strategic importance and contributing significantly to the country’s foreign exchange earnings primarily through its derivative, Crude Palm Oil (CPO), which is obtained from oil palm fruit. Indonesia currently leads as the world’s top exporter of CPO. Despite this prominent position, the country has yet to develop the capacity to influence or determine global CPO pricing. In fact, 2024 saw a drop in both the volume and value of CPO exports, highlighting persistent challenges in maintaining competitiveness on the international stage. This research seeks to evaluate the extent to which GDP, trade costs, and exchange rates impact Indonesia’s CPO trade value in global markets. The study relies on secondary data sourced from various official and credible institutions, including publications from government bodies and relevant international organizations. A panel data regression model is employed, using the Gravity model approach, as it is well-suited for examining cross- country and time-series data. Findings from the analysis reveal that Indonesia’s per capita GDP, the per capita GDP of importing countries, and exchange rates have a significant effect on the export value of CPO. Conversely, the trade cost variable does not demonstrate a statistically significant impact.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of efficiency in the use of production factors in rice farming, to analyze the income levels obtained by farmers, and to provide input in the form of strategies and recommendations for farmers to improve their productivity and efficiency in the future. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a survey approach. Data were collected directly from farmers through interviews using questionnaires, and supplemented with secondary data from relevant institutions. The respondents were rice farmers in Sijambi Village, selected based on specific criteria. The collected data were then analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function model to measure the extent of efficiency in the use of production factors, as well as income analysis to determine farmers’ profitability. The results show that farmers in Sijambi Village are generally quite efficient in utilizing production factors, particularly in the use of labor and fertilizers. However, inefficiencies were still found in the use of seeds and land management. The income levels obtained by farmers were relatively profitable, although there remains room for improvement to achieve more optimal results. The study recommends the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, the enhancement of farm management skills, and greater institutional support to increase rice production efficiency in the study area.
