Judul: Thenu. development model of corn agribusiness for supporting food security basic on Islands Group in Southwest Maluku District (MBD) Maluku Province
Abstrak: Food in the islands group (GP) has a central role, especially in small islands growing niche to be geographically isolated. Any problems associated with the low accessibility, subsistence, dependence and vulnerability of small islands to the changing seasons can cause serious problems for food security. Therefore, to ensure food security of the community, the farming of corn should be developed simultaneously throughouth all subsystems. This study aims to identify potential and constraints of corn agribusiness farm and analyze the feasibility of designing a model of cluster-based agribusiness of corn island.. The research was carried out in GP Babar and GP Terselatan MBD district. Data sources include primary and secondary data. Survey methods were conducted to collect primary data with stages starting from the selection of island groups, sub-district and village by purposive sampling. The selection of farmers was done using the stratified random sampling. Research results show that there are a number of potential and constraints. Among others potentials include: (1) Corn is a strategic comodoties, (2) total area and production can be increased, (3) Maize is a staple food, (4) Farmers are consistent in producing maize, (5) Institutions are strong farming. Constraints include: (1) Low maize production, (2) Low motivation of farmers, (3) Corn farming is subsistence, (4) Minimally of infrastucture (5) Drought and soil acidity. Results of farm analysis of farming in GP Babar showed that 81 farmers (68%) had a BCR> 1; 23 farmers (19%) with BCR <1 and 16 farmers (13%) BCR = 1. Whereas in the GP Terselatan 97 farmers (81%) had a BCR> 1; 20 farmers (17%) with BCR <1 and 3 farmers (2.5%) with BCR = 1. It shows that 68% - 81% of corn farmings in both GPs are profitable and feasible. The Biplot analysis results showed that farmers in GP Terselatan had more than enough food than Babar GP had. Babar GP had 27% of farmers with enough food and 73% of farmers lack of sufficient food. 65% of farmers in Terselatan GP had enough food and 35% lack enough food. The Generalized Linear Models analysis showed that the variables that affect food security significantly in GP Babar are: Production, Consumption, Family Member, interaction Production and Procesed Products, interaction Production and Consumption, interaction Consumption and Family Members interaction Production and Family Members; whereas in the GP Terselatan are: interaction Production and Dkisar, interaction Consumption and Dkisar, interaction Production dan Processed Products, interaction Production and Consumption, interaction Consumption and Family Member, interaction Family Members and Production, interaction Corn Price and DKisar, interaction Land and DKisar, Family Members. Traditional institutions such as: Sasi, Masohi, Lutur and food burn is local wisdom that is integrated with the Food Strategy through a combination of food sources varied and multi-cropping (polyculture).

Judul: Regional Study for Small Industry Development Based on Supreme Commodities of Agriculture in Majalengka Regency.
Abstrak: Agriculture is a basic sector in Majalengka Regency, but it still has a weak sectoral linkages with agro-processing industries. On the other hand, a region development requires the presence of a synergistic integration among economic sectors to avoid stagnation state. This study aimed to : (1) identify the comparative-competitive of agricultural leading commodities based on acreage, (2) identify the land suitability for commodity development; (3) identify the villages based for small industries agro-processing, (4) identify the villages having high level of the facilities services and accessibility for supporting industry; (5) determine the sites for small industries and its commodity development. The analytical methods used were analysis of the location quotient (LQ), shift share analysis (SSA), schallogram analysis and land suitability analysis. The study focused on commodities of agricultural i.e. corn, mango, soybean, bananas and melinjo. The results showed that corn was superior in six districts, mango was superior in 13 districts, soybean was superior in one district and bananas was superior in two districts. However, no district was superior to melinjo. There were 21,837 ha of land that phisically suitable for corn, 53,049 ha for mango, 4,074 ha for soybean and 15,837 ha for banana. There were 179 villages classified as basic for small agro-processing industries. Villages with the high level of facilities services and accessibility consisted of 44 villages. There were 7 industrial villages and 8 industrial areas (consisted of several villages), that could be developed as a small industries in the region based on agricultural supreme commodities. The priority areas for commodity development comprise 2,827 hectares for corn, 15,221 hectares for mango, 3,328 hectares for soybean and 304 hectares for bananas.
