ABSTRAKSetelah otonomi masing-masing daerah memiliki lebih dari kebebasan dalam menentukan komoditas yang diprioritaskan dalam pembangunannya. Salah satu potensi di Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir adalah pertanian. Untuk pertanian diperlukan identifikasi komoditas pertanian utama yang akan dikembangkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi komoditas pertanian utama terlihat dari dasar komoditas pertanian, spesialisasi dan lokalisasi komoditas pertanian yang diprioritaskan untuk dikembangkan di Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir.

Kata kunci : Komoditas Unggulan, Komoditas Pertanian PENDAHULUAN Undang-Undang RI No.32 Tahun 2004 tentang Pemerintah Daerah dan Undang-Undang RI No.33 Tahun 2004 tentang Perimbangan Keuangan Pusat dan Daerah telah merubah paradigma daerah dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan dari pola sentralistik ke pola desentralistik. Paradigma ini menuntut daerah agar mampu mengatur pemerintahannya guna tercapai pembangunan daerah terutama di sektor pertanian. Setelah otonomi daerah, masing-masing daerah sudah lebih bebas dalam menetapkan komoditi unggulan agar diprioritaskan pengembangannya. Farahmand (2011), pertumbuhan kota atau daerah dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor yang berbeda. Sjahrizal (1997), keberhasilan perencanaan pembangunan di suatu daerah sangat berkaitan dengan kualitas perencanaan pembangunan yang disusun oleh daerah tersebut. Perbedaan kondisi daerah akan membawa implikasi bahwa corak pembangunan yang diterapkan berbeda pula. Terkait dengan potensi pembangunan yang dimiliki setiap daerah sangat bervariasi, maka setiap daerah

In Indragiri Hilir Regency, coconut grows on peat land and mineral land. The difference in land conditions will affect the amount of production and income that farmers will receive. The objectives of this study are: (1) To determine the characteristics of Deep Coconut farmers on peat land and mineral land in Indragiri Hilir Regency. (2) Analyzing the production and income of Deep Coconut farmers on peat land and mineral land in Indragiri Hilir Regency. (3) Analyzing what factors influence the production of Deep Coconut on peat land and mineral land in Indragiri Hilir Regency. This study uses a survey method. The research location was determined in Kempas District for peat land and Concong District for mineral land. The sample is determined by purposive sampling, which is based on the age of coconut plants with a range of 10-15 years. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively, using the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results of the study show that (1) peat land and mineral land farmers have relatively the same characteristics farmers, the age of productive farmers, average education level graduating from elementary school, number of family dependents 3-4 people and having experience in farming for 20-29 years. (2) Coconut production on peat land is greater than mineral land, as well as income. (3) Factors that significantly affect coconut production on peat land are land and the number of productive plants, while for mineral land, they are processed. Keywords: Coconut, Peat Land, Mineral land, Cobb-Douglas

Farm machinery is one of the important power sources to carry out farm operations today. The availability of farm power in adequate number is prerequisites for providing enough power in perform rice farming operation. This paper attempts to evaluate the farm machinery and power requirement for performing operations of small-scale rice farming in Kampar Regency, Riau Province. Data were obtained from field survey in 15 districts from 21 districts of Kampar Regency.  Village surveys were chose for each selected district which are rice production center and farm machines have been used in working rice farm operations.  Samples were purposively selected and consisted of 30 farmers, 5 extension staffs and 20 machine operators. They were interviewed to collect field data on September 2015 by using questionnaires. The results show that the number of farm machinery was not sufficient to fulfill requirement and provide enough power for farm operations.  From farm machinery available, it provided power about 0.61 hp.ha-1, while minimum power required for efficient rice farming is about 0.8 hp.ha-1.  The results suggest that the number and type of farm machinery must be increased with financial support and involve private sectors.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perkembangan ekspor karet alam Indonesia. Data yang digunakan adalah data Time Series dari tahun 1996-2016 yang diperoleh dari berbagai sumber seperti International Trade Statistic, FAO, United Nation Commodity Trade Statistic dan BPS. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan volume ekspor karet alam Indonesia semakin meningkat, meskipun berfluktuasi namun tetap tumbuh positif sebesar 3.34 persen.

Total samples were 62 farmers. The study was conducted in May 2017 until December 2017. Data analysis using software Frontier Version 4.1 C. The results showed that the average technical efficiency level achieved was 72.94 percent of maximum productivity. This shows that the farming coconut in Gaung Anak Serka Sub-district has been efficient to technical efficiency, but not yet allocatively/price and economical efficiency. The average value of the overall allocative efficiency is 2.40 and not economically efficient because the economic efficiency value obtained is 1.75.
