This study aims to describe the existing papaya processing in Nagari Batu Kalang and know the financial feasibility of papaya processing in Nagari Batu Kalang. This research was conducted due to Nagari Batu Kalang District Padang Sago Subdistrict Padang Pariaman Regency is one of the areas whose irrigation channel is severely damaged cause the impact of the earthquake of West Sumatera in 2009. The rice farmers in this area switched to cultivate papaya plants and there is a processing papaya into various products. The method used in this research is descriptive method. The data was analyzed by descriptive analysis and financial feasibility analysis by calculating R / C Ratio and B / C Ratio. The results showed Nagari Batu Kalang has 3 types of papaya processing into an agroindustry which produces sauce, dodol, and stick snack. The processing of the three types of products are almost same, and from 3 types of papaya product, the most feasible financially to be developed is processed sauce papaya with R / C Ratio of 2.760 and B / C Ratio of 1.760. Because the value of R / C Ratio and B / C Ratio owned is greater than 1.
The largest area of local coffee plantation in West Sumatera PENDAHULUANSebagai bagian dari pembangunan daerah maka secara umum pembangunan sektor pertanian harus diarahkan kepada pendekatan pembangunan berbasis kerakyatan (Ahmad, 2006). Berbagai hasil pembangunan terutam a yang berkaitan dengan upaya pemberdayaan masyarakat perkebunan, umumnya mempunyai margin pendapatan yang besar, yang lebih banyak dinikmati oleh pengusaha besar, belum banyak dinikmati oleh petani. Karena Petani hanya menikmati pendapatan produksi (on farm) saja (Admaizon, 2004). Subsektor perkebunan merupakan salah satu bisnis strategis dan andalan dalam perekonomian Indonesia, bahkan pada masa krisis ekonomi.
PENDAHULUANPembangunan daerah pada dasarnya merupakan bagian internal dari pembangunan nasional dan tidak dapat dipisahkan dari pola pembangunan nasional yang bertujuan untuk mewujudkan masyarakat adil dan merata di seluruh wilayah tanah air. Dengan demikian dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan tersebut memerlukan suatu perencanaan yang strategis dan didukung oleh ketersediaan dana serta partisipasi masyarakat sebagai subyek pembangunan untuk meningkatkan pemerataan pertumbuhan dan pembangunan di segala bidang. Todaro (2000) menyatakan bahwa pembangunan mengandung nilainilai hakiki yang berhubungan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat yang paling mendasar, yang terdapat pada hampir semua masyarakat/kultur di segala zaman. Nilai-nilai tersebut adalah kebutuhan hidup, harga diri dan kebebasan.
As consumer demand for sustainable palm oil increases, the Indonesian government responds by issuing the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil [ISPO] Guidelines, which since 2015 have become Indonesia’s Sustainable Palm Oil Certification System. Currently, only 33% of the total oil palm area obtain ISPO certificates predominantly from private companies. As most oil palm plantations are smallholders owned, they must be prepared to meet this certification to enable Indonesia’s palm oil industry to maintain its market share in the world market. However, ISPO certification has not been known at the farmer level widely. This research aims to analyze the effect of farmers’ knowledge on the application of ISPO principles. The study employed a survey method involving 57 oil palm farmers. Primary data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with the structural equation modeling method [SEM]. The results reveal that farmer knowledge on benefit and risk variables is in the moderate category, while farmers’ perception of ISPO simplicity is low. In applying ISPO principles, farmers have a high score on land legality and farm management, while environmental management and sustainable business are low. The estimation results obtained that farmers’ level of knowledge does not affect the application level of ISPO principles.
