Judul: Agricultural Commodities Zoning Based on Superior Commodities and Lan
Abstrak: South Bolaang Mongondow is a new district having a potency of agricultural land resources for agriculture development. However, information of land resources is limited, therefore research on land suitability analysis to arrange zoning of agricultural commodities in this district is needed. The objectives of this study were: (1) To analyze the superior commodities, (2) To analyze suitability of land for the superior commodities, (3) To develop superior commodities zoning map. The procedure includes an analysis of superior commodities using LQ and SSA, land suitability evaluation by matching of land quality/characteristics and land use requirements. While the zoning of agricultural commodities was prepared based on superior commodities areas results of phisic land suitability result and its economic parameter. The results show that there are 13 superior commodities agricultural, namely paddy, upland rice, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, soybean, peanuts, green beans, cloves, coconut, cocoa, coffee and pepper. The results of the analysis leading agricultural commodities in South Bolaang Mongondow there are 13 leading commodities namely paddy, upland rice, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, green beans, cloves, coconut, cocoa, coffee and pepper. But in each district varies superior commodities . Bolaang Uki district commodities namely : paddy rice , upland rice, cassava, sweet potatoes, peanuts, green beans, coconut and coffee ; Pinolosian district commodities namely : clove, Central Pinolosian district commodities namely : maize, soybean, coconut, cocoa and pepper, East Pinolosian district commodities namely : paddy rice , maize , soybean , coconut and pepper. The largest land suitable superior commodities for food crops ( S1 , S2 and S3 ) area of 8512.6 ha (15,3 %) found in the Bolaang Uki district. The largest land suitable for perennial crops/plantation ( suitability class S1 , S2 and S3 ) area of 47058.6 ha ( 84.7 % ) in the Bolaang Uki district, East Pinolosian district, Pinolosian district and Central Pinolosian, respectively. Zoning of agricultural commodities compiled by leading commodities groupings that exist in each district , namely a) . Wetlands farming system (PS) covering an area of 2943.1 ha ( 5.3 % ) with paddy rice superior commodities , b ) dry land farming system for food crop covering area of 5569.6 ha ( 10 % ) with paddy fields , maize , cassava , sweet potato , soybeans , peanuts , green beans superior commodities and c ) . dryland farming systems for perennial crops covering an area of 47058.6 ha ( 84.7 % ) with coconut , cloves , coffee , cocoa and pepper superior commodities .

The potential of the agricultural sector in Bone regency is reflected by the fact that mostly area are agricultural land (rice field and agricultural drylands). Although with the very large potential of land and human resources, the productivity of food crops in Bone regency is still fluctuating relatively. Based on 2007 – 2011 BPS data, agricultural productivity sense experiencing negative trends. One of the factors affecting its productivity is the lack of agricultural infrastructure. In addition, the suitability of land for food crops has not been a major consideration in planning that impacted on the productivity and sustainability of agricultural crop products. Development of the agricultural sector can be done through leading commodity approach by considering the biophysical suitability, resources and government policy supported. This study aims to formulate the direction and strategy development leading commodity crops in Bone regency through: (1) Identify the leading food crops commodities in Bone Regency, (2) Identify availability of agricultural infrastructure and facilities, (3) Evaluate land suitability for food crops in Bone Regency, and (4) Develop guidelines and strategies for development of leading foods in Bone Regency. The analytical methods used are the LQ analysis, average area analysis, availability and consumption of food and synthesized by MCDM-TOPSIS, schallogram, land suitability, and A'WOT. To establish the leading commodity for the development of agricultural commodity crops, this research used Location Quotient analysis, average area analysis, availability and consumption of food and synthesized by MCDM-TOPSIS, schallogram, land suitability, and A'WOT. From the analysis it can be seen that the leading commodity food crops that could potentially be developed in Bone regency are paddy, corn and soybeans. Based on the analysis schallogram for the number, type and availability of infrastructure to support agriculture, most districts in Bone regency still do not have adequate infrastructure.

Region I and II hierarchy generally have complete agricultural infrastructure while the Hierarchy III region has inadequate infrastructure. Based on the results of the analysis, the suitable and available land for development of paddy, is 95 068 ha (20.7% of the district). For the development of soybean and corn that are in the same area of land 73 317 ha (16.0%) and specific to soybean 3,934 ha (0.9% of the total area). Location development leading commodity crops of paddy, corn and soybeans are districts that in the region of Hierarchy is based on the development priorities based on analysis of LQ, availability of agricultural infrastructure and suitability and availability of land.
