Judul: Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Ekspor Kakao Indonesia - Uni Eropa
Abstrak: One of plantation commodity which is potentially developed in Indonesia is cocoa. Indonesia is the third largest exporter of cocoa bean after Ivory Coast and Ghana. Even though Indonesia is one of the biggest cocoa producer countries but only 1.07 percent of cocoa bean and 7.79 percent of cocoa butter and oil can enter European Union Market as the biggest cocoa consumer in the world. Based on that problem this paper will analyze what factors which can influence cocoa export of Indonesia to European Union and what policy implication can be conducted regarding to this condition. Data processing was conducted by using stata which used panel data analysis with gravity model panel data. There are three models which can be estimated in panel data. This study deals with the flows of trade between Indonesia and Countries in European Union. Therefore the Fixed Effects will be a more appropriate model than random specification. The eleven importer countries are selected for the period 1996 - 2011. Based on econometric results there are four significant variables that influence trade flows of cocoa code 1801 from Indonesia to European Union. Those are GDP of exporting country, population of exporting country, exchange rate and export tax. There is no significant variable which can explain trade flows of cocoa, code 1804 from Indonesia to European Union. It would be concluded that in this case gravity model is not the best model. The next research should consider the other variable which can explain the trade flows well.

Abstrak: This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and factors that affect the flow of Indonesian cocoa exports in five export destinations of Indonesia.. The method used for the analysis of the competitiveness of Indonesian cocoa is the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). The results of the RCA analysis generally indicate that Indonesian cocoa butter, fat, and oil has a better relatively competitiveness compared with the cocoa paste and cocoa powder on each export destination. To analyze the factors that affect the flow of Indonesian cocoa exports used econometric analysis with the Gravity Model approach. Significant variables that affecting the flow of Indonesian cocoa paste export are importer GDP, the GDP of Indonesia, importer population, the population of Indonesia, the export price of Indonesian cocoa paste, the real exchange rate of the IDR, economic distance, and the duties of cocoa beans. While for the commodity cocoa butter, fat, oil throughout these variables have a significant effect. Meanwhile, in commodity cocoa powder there are two variables that do not significantly affect the flow of Indonesian cocoa powder exports are importer GDP and economic distance.

Abstrak: The objectives of this study were to determine the immune response of vaccinated layer with Newcastle Disease strain Lasota active vaccine against challenged by Newcastle Disease Gen VII and to observe clinical signs and pathology anatomy lesions of challenged chickens. Fourty commercial layer were used in this study and divided into four groups K1, K2, K3, K4 each group consisted of 10 chickens. Group K1 and K2 were unvaccinated and group K3 and K4 were vaccinated. Group K2 and K4 were challenged using Newcastle Disease Gen VII. Chickens were vaccinated at 3 rd weeks and challenge at 5th weeks (2 weeks post vaccination), with dose 104 CLD50/chicken, through oral. ND antibody titer were determined by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test. The result showed that groups K1 and K2 have low level antibody compared to groups K3 and K4. Group K2 shows diarrhea clinical sign that causes death to all the chickens. Group K4 has antibody 22.5. Our result showed that ND LaSota could induce immune response against challenge by ND gen VII also reduced mortality and clinical sign.
