| dc.description.abstract | The majority of livelihoods in rural areas are still dominated by farming
activities. The lack of development of yield processing business has become a
challenge to be solved. Agricultural products, which are only sold raw, cause
many flows of economic value added to the city. The importance of developing an
agropolitan area is closely related to efforts to create maximum added value of
regional strategic commodities for the sustainability of agropolitan areas through
the development of cultivation systems and processing of products. The
development of activities that can create economic added value of strategic
commodities in the region can be achieved by developing processed products that
have higher value and competitiveness, known as agro-industry. In general, the
processing of agricultural products in the agropolitan area is limited to processing
activities with low value added and simple technology as occurs in Karacak
Agropolitan Area, Bogor Regency.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of mangosteen
agroindustry investment with the method of Financial Feasibility; analyze the
level of sustainability for Karacak agropolitan area using the Multidimensional
Scaling (MDS); formulate alternatives and determine policy priorities using the
Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP); and compile the direction of agropolitan
approach policy based on agro-industry through the Interpretative Structural
Modelling (ISM). The development of agro-industries in agropolitan areas was
modeled on strategic commodity. Furthermore, the model was mapped in the form
of conceptual diagrams for agropolitan development based on agro-industry. This
model is general but adaptive, meaning that it is adapted to climate conditions,
and geographical area, especially characteristics of local strategic commodities
and human resources.
The results of the feasibility analysis of agro-industry showed that
mangosteen dodol (traditional food) and floor cleaner from mangosteen peel
extract agro-industries were very sensitive to increasing raw material prices as
well as a decreasing product prices. Under normal conditions, the results of
feasibility for mangosteen dodol were: NPV Rp. 4,914,291,000; IRR 111.6%; B/C
Ratio 1.18; and PBP 1.03 years. Whereas for floor cleaner of mangosteen peel
extract, has: NPV Rp1,186,600,400; IRR 20.2%; B/C Ratio 1.04; and PBP 3.5
years. Product that have more resistance to increasing raw material factors,
decreasing product prices and increasing bank interest rates was capsulated
mangosteen peel extract. This product was feasible to be implemented in
agropolitan area with NPV Rp. 17,690,067,800; IRR 102.1%; B/C Ratio 1.39; and
PBP 1,025 years. The added value of agro-industrial mangosteen peel extract was
Rp. 90.800/kg, mangosteen dodol was Rp. 53.600/kg, and mangosteen peel
extract floor cleaner was Rp. 18.700/L. The economic value of the agropolitan
area of Karacak on the basis of mangosteen farming and the collaboration of three
types of agro-industry was Rp. 364,429,156,800. Through the development of
agro-industry can encourage the sustainability of the agropolitan area.
The results of the MDS analysis showed that the agropolitan area of
Karacak is not sustainable especially in terms of policy. MDS analysis on the
economic, social, environmental, technological and infrastructure dimensions
were stated to be less sustainable with the sustainability index between 34.12-
49.96%. Whereas the policy dimension was declared not to sustain with
sustainability index 22.31%. Based on the results of the AHP analysis, it was
found that the priority policy in supporting the economic development of the
region was the provision of incentives for agro-industry investors in agropolitan
area. Criteria for private actors, in this case investors, as the main actors in
achieving the economic development goals of agropolitan area based on agroindustry,
with criteria weight values 0.263. The objective criteria for achieving
economic development in Karacak agropolitan area based on agro-industry, was
encourages investors to enter the region and invest, with criteria weight values
0.402.
Based on ISM analysis, it was known that the key sub-elements of the
constraints that gave great affect for the success of the incentive system for
investors in agropolitan area was the weak political will of the local government
in the incentive and disincentive programs for the development of the agropolitan
area. In the element of change, the increasing interest of investors to be involved
in developing the area in the form of the establishment of agro-industry, was to be
key sub-element that is very likely to occur if the program is executed.
Furthermore, in the objective element, the establishment of agroindustry based on
mangosteen in agropolitan area that meets the technical requirements so that it
functions in accordance with its objectives and is in line with the applicable
spatial plan, was a key element of the program's objectives. Next to the actor
elements, there are two key elements, namely the Regional Governments and
Private/Investors, but, both of them can support and collaborate each other in
order to succeed the incentive program for agro-industry investors in agropolitan
area.
In order to integrate the interests of the agropolitan area and mangosteenbased
agroindustry, a forum is needed to bridge all agricultural and SME
entrepreneurs and agro-industry with the government and all relevant
stakeholders. The chamber is interpreted into a conceptual model called PEKAKlaster
Mangosteen Global Network 4.0 based on E-Commerce. The conceptual
model of sustainable agro-industrial agropolitan area economic development is
universal and adaptive. The model can be applied to the economic development of
regions throughout the world, but needs to be adapted to geographical conditions
and the character of resources and the local environment to be sustainable. | id |
