Abstract

Oil palm is one of the world's strategic plantation commodities. Palm oil production continues to increase, which has implications for the increase in the amount of palm oil waste produced. One of the efforts to realize a sustainable palm oil program is by properly managing palm oil waste. Processing palm oil waste such as fronds, replanting trunks, and empty palm oil bunches with the pyrolysis method is one of the environmentally friendly waste processing. The use of the right method on each palm oil waste biomass determines the quality of the biochar produced. This study uses frond waste, replanting trunks, and empty palm bunches as raw materials for making biochar using pyrolysis methods, namely the manual method and Klin Retort. This study aims to determine the appropriate pyrolysis method to use through observation of the chemical characteristics of palm oil waste biochar. The results showed that the best chemical characteristics of palm oil waste biochar were in the Retort Klin method with a pH value and percentage of ash content, N-total, P-total, K-total, C-organic respectively of 7, 96, 4.86%, 0.47%, 0.04%, 0.96%, 50.18 on frond biochar, 7.42, 3.97%, 7.42%, 0.17%, 0.04%, 0.7%, 49.52% on replanting trunk biochar, and 6.31, 7.18%, 0.91%, 0.03%, 0.67%, 58.04% on oil palm empty bunch biochar. Keywords: oil palm, waste, biochar, pyrolysis

Abstract

It is recognized that there is potential for local cayenne pepper growing in the Central Highlands of Papua, namely in the Hubikiak District. Local cayenne peppers are distinguished by their taste and rather big form. As one of the hubs for generating regional cayenne pepper, Hubikiak District offers its own-harvested, locally grown cayenne pepper to merchants at a price that does not match the capital invested. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the quantity of the cayenne pepper marketing margin in Hubikiak District, Jayawijaya Regency, as well as to examine the structure of efficient marketing channels that contribute to the welfare of local Wamena cayenne pepper farmers. Because a feature of contemporary agriculture is that farming is done with an eye on making money. Hubikiak District was the site of this study, which ran from June to August of 2024. Marketing channel analysis and marketing margin analysis were the methods of data analysis that were employed. The results of the study show that the marketing channels for cayenne pepper in Hubikiak District, Jayawijaya Regency are divided into two, namely the first marketing channel (direct marketing channel) and the second marketing channel (indirect marketing channel) and the most effective in marketing local Wamena cayenne pepper is the first type of channel (direct marketing channel). Additionally, each marketing channel has an own margin value. There is a marketing margin in marketing channel I, which is the direct sale of agricultural products from farmers to customers, valued at IDR 20,000. In marketing channel II, the margin value is Rp. 30.000.

Abstract

Shredded is a type of processed dry food product with a distinctive shape made from meat that is boiled, cut, seasoned, fried and then pressed. This study aims to find out the level of preference of panelists for ale-ale breadfruit shredded products based on color, aroma, taste and texture parameters. This study is an experimental research by making shredded breadfruit mixed with ale-ale with 100% breadfruit treatment as a control, 75% breadfruit mixed with 25% ale-ale as treatment I, breadfruit 50% mixed with 50% ale-ale as treatment II. The acceptance rate of panelists for ale-ale breadfruit shredded products used a hedonic test with taste, aroma, color and texture parameters, with a measurement scale from 1 to 9. The panelists were 30 people who were not trained. Data analysis uses analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continues with the Duncan test if there are differences. Based on the research, shredded fish with 75% breadfruit treatment and 25% ale-ale obtained a better acceptance value, namely 6 based on taste parameters, and texture with an acceptance value of 7.03. Shredded fish with 100% breadfruit treatment obtained a better acceptance score of 6.8 based on color parameters. Meanwhile, the aroma parameters of the third shredded treatment obtained a neutral acceptance value.

Abstract

Banana (Musa paradisiaca) is a fruit that contains many minerals, vitamins and carbohydrates. There are various types of bananas that are popular among people. Starting from commercial bananas which have a high market value to bananas in processed form. This research was conducted to estimate the shelf life of banana flour using the Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing method which refers to the Arrhenius Model where the critical parameter is water content. The banana used is the kepok banana type at the No.2 ripeness level with the characteristics of the banana skin still being green but showing a tinge of yellow at the tip of the fruit accompanied by black dots around the surface of the banana skin. The packaging uses polyethylene film (thickness 0.10). Each package contains a 100 gram sample. Samples were stored at different conditions, namely 30oC, 35oC, 40oC and 55oC in an atmosphere with 80% relative humidity (RH) for eight weeks of storage. Once every week, samples are evaluated for critical water content. The research results showed that the sample packaging in polyethylene film was able to last up to 2.3159 months.

Abstract

Agribusiness is a unitary business activity that includes one or the entire production chain, product processing, and marketing, broadly concerning agriculture. This study aimed to calculate the feasibility of an independent laying chicken agribusiness that experiences production fluctuations. The study's results stated that the operating costs required for 10 years are IDR. 921,080,000. The income received by the laying chicken farmer Mr. Cucu Suryana in carrying out his laying chicken agribusiness is IDR 603,474,200 per two years of production. The NPV using a social discount rate of 18% shows that the NPV in strata I is IDR 74,808,684. The IRR shows a result of 21.24% using the Social Opportunity Cost of Capital (SOCC) of 18.00%; this means that IRR > SOCC, the investment made by farmers will return within 3.11 years, and Net B/C is 1.21%. So, the effort is worth continuing.

Abstract

New Product Development (NPD) process is a structured step to turn a concept into a market-ready product. One of the products that has great potential is kale, which is widely found in Gumuk Bago Hamlet, Nogosari Village, Rambipuji, Jember Regency. This research aims to develop kale noodles to improve the quality of kale commodities and provide added value for local farmers. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through interviews, observations, and literature studies involving 20 local farmers. The NPD process of kale noodles involves making kale flour through drying at a temperature of 50° C to maintain the nutrient content, then formulated with wheat flour at a ratio of 20%. The results of the study showed that kale noodles have a higher fiber and iron content than conventional noodles, so they have health benefits, such as preventing anemia and improving digestion. Organoleptic tests show that kale noodles are preferred by consumers because of their balanced taste, chewy texture, and attractive appearance. Processing kale into flour also helps reduce farmers' losses due to wasted crops and increase their income. The market projection in Jember Regency is estimated to reach Rp 2.5 billion a year. However, there are several weaknesses, such as limited processing technology, inadequate distribution infrastructure, limited marketing, seasonal dependence on raw materials, and low brand awareness that can hinder market penetration. With the right handling of these weaknesses, the development of kale noodles has the potential to strengthen the local economy and improve the welfare of farmers.

Abstract

The study investigated comparative and competitive food crop commodities in each district of Merauke Regency, South Papua Province, Indonesia, to support strategic agricultural development in the region. The research conducted from June to September 2024 uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Primary data comes from primary informants, such as the Head of the Food Crops, Horticulture, and Plantation Service, and secondary data from statistical reports and scientific literature. Using a Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, the study identified root crops (cassava, sweet potato, taro, and gembili) as the most dominant commodity found in almost all districts, while legumes (peanuts, mung beans, and soybeans) were concentrated in eight districts. Rice production is prominent in four districts (Kurik, Malind, Semangga, and Tanah Miring), while maize cultivation covers nine districts, including Kimaam, Okaba, Animha, and others. These findings underscore the potential for commodity-based agriculture development in Merauke Regency, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to optimize production, strengthen market access, develop farmer institutions, and improve supporting infrastructure. This research provides important insights for policymakers and stakeholders to advance the agricultural sector in the region, especially in the development of food crops.
