Optimal utilization of sago plants can provide large incomes to farm households. Generally in Indonesia sago is only used as a staple food for the daily life of the family as a companion to rice. However, some region in Indonesia uses sago as the main staple food source, such as in Maluku, Papua, parts of Sulawesi such as East Kolaka. The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the production and productivity of sago plants in the East Kolaka Regency. The study was conducted in the East Kolaka Regency of Southeast Sulawesi Province in 2018. The respondents of this study were 203 sago farmers. The study uses a quantitative approach with a combination of survey methods with quantitative and qualitative descriptive data analysis. The results showed that sago production in East Kalimantan in each year ranged from 119 sacks/ year - 363 sacks/ year or equivalent to 2,161 kg / yr-6,606 kg /yr. The highest average sago starch production is in the Poniponiki village, which is 6,606 kg /yr. While the lowest production is in the Ladongi village, 2,161 kg/ yr. The highest productivity was found in Alaaha village, which was 7.7 tons /ha/ yr while the lowest productivity was 2.5 tons /ha/ yr in Ladongi village. Sago plant productivity in East Kalimantan shows quite good productivity for the condition of sago cultivation that is still extractive tautology. This shows that when sago plantations are used in the improvement of sago plant technology in East Kalimantan, they will provide productivity far higher than current production.
Currently, coconut is still managed and produced as black copra due to farmers’ limited human resources and capital. In addition, the condition of coconut plants is also old and unproductive. It is time to manage coconut plantations for maximum quality and quantity of production. The utilization of coconut products is not only to primary products but was developed into secondary products. Central of Maluku is one of the centers for plantation commodities in Indonesia. The most dominant plantation commodities in Central Maluku are coconut, nutmeg, cloves, and cocoa. Demand for these 4 commodities competes with each other. Coconut is one of the sources of life for the local community. The management is very traditional, especially downstream, to produce black copra and coconut oil. Coconut oil was produced for local consumption, and part of it was sold to the local market. Meanwhile, mainly copra is produced to supply industrial demand. Therefore, good management practices of coconut cultivation are needed, including improving good coconut cultivation and coconut farming diversification horizontally and vertically.
Utilization of crude palm oil as a fish feed ingredient has been carried out in recent years. Crude palm oil can replace fish oil on dietary fish. The use of CPO has been applied to barramundi (Lates calcarifer), Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicas), salmonid species, and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets. palm oil appears to boost protein efficiency when being added to oxidized fish feed. The various advantages of palm oil include superior energy sources (saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids), high content of natural antioxidants (carotenes and E vitamin), lessening fatty acid deposition, and low cost and producing high oil yield. Moreover, palm oil-based diets for fish indicated no effect on the fillets either in their texture or color Fish growth is not disturbed if you change fish oil to crude palm oil in fish feed. The level of use of palm oil is different for each fish species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
