Arahan Pengembangan Agribisnis Komoditas Ubi Kayu Dalam Rangka Pengembangan Wilayah di Kabupaten Cianjur Wilayah Selatan Provinsi J awa Barat

Abstract

Cianjur Regency has 92.534 ha of dry land areas designated for cultivation, and 52% of dry land is located in the southern area (Bappeda Cianjur Reg@r, 2011). The dry land is commonly used for such purposes as household yards'::I:rainfed agriculture, upland/plantation and open grassland, while the remaiing is bare land therefore the dry land has not been used optimally. The main 8Jmmodities of dry land farming are cassava, maize, upland rice, and beans. The dW land in southern Cianjur is cultivated by intercropping. Cianjur is center of casSava production. The harvested cassava in Cianjur reached 7.881 ha in 2012 and 6􀁻26 ha in 2013, 37% of the area is located in the southern area. Cassava comrm;nly processed for directly consumed food products, such as tape and chips. At sO.§:hern Cianjur, cassava is also processed into pearl tapioca and chips for indus@al raw material supplier. Cianjur regency government through Cianjur Reger! Decree Number 520/ KEP-240 DISTAN/ 2012 established 4 districts at South;}=ianjur (Cidaun, Sindang Barang, Cibinong and Agrabinta) as center of cassa􀁼. Cassava has important role to meet the food needs and industrial devel􀁽ment. Cassava value added could be realized through agribusiness devel􀁾ment therefore contribute to regional development. [IlAccording to the text above, it is necessary to know how large the cassava produ8tion potential which determined by considering the availability of suitable land 􀁿d cassava productivity of intercropping patterns cultivation. Therefore it can be estimated industry requirement to absorb all cassava production for raw material. It is important to analyze financial feasibility of the cassava industry in order to assess the profit and region value added. It's expected that the subject above could formulate cassava agribusiness direction in order to regional development in southern part of cianjur regency. The objective of the study were: 1) to analyze the land suitability and land availability for the development of cassava based on spatial techniques in Geographic Information Systems; 2) to analyze cassava farm business by intercropping cultivation; 3) to analyze farmers opinion and experts opinion on the development of cassava agribusiness 4) to analyEij financial feasibility of cassava processing technologies and its cont􀂀tion to Cianjur regency value, and 5) to formulate cassava agribusiness direJ§>n in order to regional development. -,Availability dry land for Cassava farming in Cianjur southern region was 10.05»ha or 11,36% of the suitability land. The two largest area of availability landtmere marginally suitable (S3) at shrub (25,14%) and marginally suitable at dry l􀂁@ (20,16%). Cassava in South Cianjur is commonly cultivated on dry land by i􀀃rcropping. Two patterns of intercropping commonly used by farmers was inten:;Cjlpping of cassava-upland rice-peanut and cassava-chili-maize and ginger. RetuAA: cost ratio was greater than one. for various patterns of intercropping cassaGJ. with other commodities. It showed that the benefit was higher than the cost so intercropping of cassava and other commodities was profitable. The high􀂂return cost ratio was 4.18 for intercropping cassava (mangu variety) with :::J < CD -, CJ) r-+ '< Chilli, maize and ginger. Meanwhile, the highest productivity was 35 ton per hectare for intercropping cassava (mangu variety) with peanuts. Cassava industry products considered for financial analysis were mocaf, cassava starch, chips and pearl tapioca. The consideration of these products was based on farmers and experts opinion regarding appropriate cassava product to be developed in south Cianjur. Based on financial analysis, all of cassava industry products were feasible to be developed. Cassava starch had highest contribution value on agro industry development, followed by mocaf, cassava starch meal, and 􀂃ips. The cluster system could empower cassava farmer from sub district to 􀂄strict though cassava starch meal and chips had small contribution. 􀀕 There were three priorities in the cassava development plan in the South 􀂅ianjur. The first and second priorities are Cidaun, Sindang Barang and Cibinong -With 5.106 hectare. These districts are located in the main commodity cassava 􀂆rea and already had cassava processing industries. In order to plan cassava 􀂇velopment, the farmers still use intercropping cultivation that had been done. To 􀀆t higher productivity and return, mangu varieties is recommended for cassava Q1lltivation. The 3rd priorities are Agrabinta, Cikadu, Leles and Naringgul with 'J,947 ha. The first and second priorities could be implemented in the short time 􀂈ith predictable success in cassava agro industry development because these anorities area were cassava production center established by the Cianjur Regency 􀂉d already had cassava processing industries.
