ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pendapatan pada usaha peternakan ayam buras yang dipelihara secara semi intensif dan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode survey dan wawancara dengan berpedoman pada daftar pertanyaan terhadap tiga puluh lima orang anggota kelompok " Poyuyanan" di Desa Poyowa Besar Kecamatan Kotamobagu Selatan Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Analisis data penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif dan analisais kuantitatif menggunakan teknik regresi berganda model Cobb-Douglass. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peternak mempunyai rata-rata pemilikan 8 ekor ayam betina dan memperoleh pendapatan yang ekivalen dengan 37,9 kg beras per bulan. Hasil analisa regresi menunjukkan bahwa secara bersamasama variabel bebas mempengaruhi pendapatan peternak sebesar 81,2%. Secara parsial variabel bebas yang dapat meningkatkan pendapatan peternak adalah jumlah ternak ayam produktif yang dimiliki, biaya produksi, jumlah telur menetas dan daya tetas telur sedangkan variabel mortalitas DOC hingga umur 75 hari akan mengurangi tingkat pendapatan peternak ayam buras. Biaya produksi usaha peternakan ayam buras yang dipelihara secara semi intensif yang sebagian besar digunakan untuk membeli pakan dapat meningkatkan produksi dan pendapatan peternak yang pada akhirnya mampu untuk memenuhi ketersediaan pangan untuk masyarakat di pedesaan Kata Kunci : Ketersediaan pangan, semi intensif, peternakan ayam buras, pendapatan ABSTRACTThe study was aimed to determine the income for semi intensive native chicken farming and to determine the factors influence it. The study was conducted by survey method and direct interview using questionnaire to 35 members of farmers group "Poyuyanan" in Poyowa Besar Village, South Kotamobagu Dstrict North Sulawesi Province. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and quantitative analysis using multiple regression analysis of Cobb-Douglass model. The result showed that farmer with an average ownership of 8 hens could obtain income equivalent to 37.9 kg of rice per month. The regression analysis showed that altogether the dependent variables had effect to income as much 81.2% (R 2 = 0.821). Partially variables that could increase farmers' income were hatching rate, number of productive hen, cost of production and number of eggs hatched. Mortality was the only variable that decreased farmers' income. Cost of production in semi intensive native chicken farming which mainly for buying feed could increase the production and income for farmers that in turn would support food availability of rural communities in Poyowa Besar Villages

The objective of this study was to analyze the factors influencing the profit of pig farms in rural communities in Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi based on output sales orientation for breeding stock and combination of breeding-fattening models. The research was conducted from July to December 2016, using survey method with multistage random sampling technique. The selected locations were three Districts of Sonder, Tombulu and Kakas based on the largest population of pigs involving randomly one hundred respondents. The variables were included profit, prices of corn, concentrate, bran, medicine, vitamin, animal housing depreciation, the number of piglets, farm experience and output sales orientation. Data were analyzed on the basis of unit output price Cobb-Douglas Profit Function using multiple linear regressions. Research showed that input prices of production factor and number of piglets were influenced profit (P<0.01). Partially, the input prices of corn, concentrate, bran, medicine, vitamins, output sales orientation, and the number of piglets influenced profit(P<0.01). Average profits of farm were IDR 942,823.70/month for breeding models and IDR 3,679,833.85/month for combination of breeding-fattening models, with average numbers of sows were 2.25 heads

SUPERIOR COMMODITY POTENTIAL OF HORTICULTURE AGROBUSSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN SOUTH HALMAHERA REGENCY. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of the horticulture superior commodity, growth structure, relation of farm income and to define strategy formulation of superior commodity development in South Halmahera regency. Study was done using survey approach on location basis of horticulture superior commodity. Location was defined by multistage random sampling in South Halmahera regency. Samples were taken by purposive sampling method, based on the criteria including the stakeholders of horticulture commodity spreading around research location. Data were analyzed using Location Quotient (LQ) method comparing the regency PDRB and the province PDRB, using localization coefficient (αi) by defining growth structure of commodity focusing on either one areal or not; using specialization coefficient  on one or more of commodities at one certain areal location, using Basic Service Ratio (BSR, the comparison of commodity basis and non basis of commodity, and SWOT analysis formulating the internal and external strategy. Based on LQ analysis, commodities of red pepper, lanseh and durian fruits had LQ value > 1, indicating that these commodities were categorized sector basis and tomato commodity LQ < 1 included into non basis sector or inferior commodity. Analysis of αi indicated that horticulture commodity was not concentrated into one location of region. In addition, analysis of , indicated that commodity of horticulture sub sector was not focused on one commodity. Analysis of BSR indicated that BSR value varied from one year to the other next year, such as in year of 2009 was 5.38, year of 2012 was 7.41 and year of 2013 was 10.22. The BSR > 1 indicated that correlation between sector basis of commodity contributed positively on development of non basis sector of commodity, while year of 2010 was 0.77 and year of 2011 was 0.833. Value of BSR < 1 was indicating negative contribution of commodity sector basis on non basis sector, especially in South Halmahera regency. Based on analysis results, the average income of each respondent for tomato was IDR 33,843,720.-; red pepper was IDR 10,782,350.- ; lanseh fruit was IDR 43,074,200.- and durian fruit was IDR 75,838,040.-. Development strategies based on SWOT analysis were (1) increase of product and agricultural commodity quality, (2) Focused and clearly political will of government, (3) Increase of farmer resource, (4) Self seedling development training, (5) Government regulation on prohibiting exploration of the agricultural potential areas, (6) Increasing activity of the industrial and trade office on easily market information, (7) Effective utilization of productive areas, (8) Collaboration between government and private entrepreneurship, (9) Adoption of modern agricultural technology, (10) Optimizing  of the function of economical institution (corporation institution) and banking institution, and (11) Optimizing  the role of field agricultural extension. Therefore, based on this research, it can be concluded that South Halmahera regency had high potential of superior commodity of the horticulture sub sector that can be developed due to higher supporting of potential location areas. Key words: Superior commodity, horticulture sub sector, SWOT analysis, South Halmahera regency.
