Pendapatan dan Kerentanan Petani Kopi Robusta di Sekitar Kawasan Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan

Kopi robusta merupakan komoditas perkebunan yang memiliki potensi tinggi mengingat trend konsumsi dan produksi yang besar di beberapa provinsi di Indonesia salah satunya Provinsi Lampung, namun peningkatan produksi tersebut berdampak pada penggunaan lahan di kawasan hutan Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan Nasional (TNBBS) untuk kegiatan pertanian kopi, terlebih lagi pandemi yang melanda dunia membuat tantangan baru dalam bisnis pertanian kopi ini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis dan membandingkan tingkat pendapatan usaha tani kopi dan kerentanan keluarga petani kopi disebabkan pandemi Covid-19 di sekitar TNBBS, baik di dalam maupun di luar TNBBS. Analisis data menggunakan analisis pendapatan usaha tani dan analisis indeks kerentanan mata pencaharian (LVI). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan petani di kawasan TNBBS lebih kecil yaitu Rp. 9.833.453,57 sedangkan di luar kawasan TNBBS sebesar Rp. 12.571.781,31, rasio R/C juga menunjukkan bahwa bertani di luar daerah adalah yang paling menguntungkan. Perbedaan jarak lahan petani dalam kawasan dan luar kawasan memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap perbedaan jumlah ini. Kerentanan keluarga petani di dalam TNBBS dan di luar TNBBS tergolong rendah hingga sedang baik dalam perhitungan LVI maupun LVI yang mempertimbangkan definisi IPCC. Strategi mata pencaharian dan jaringan sosial yang tidak memadai di beberapa rumah tangga petani berkontribusi pada angka LVI yang dihasilkan dari analisis.Coffee, the prominent plantation commodity in Indonesia, exhibits significant potential due to its substantial consumption and production trends. Alongside tea and spices (HS code 09), coffee accounted for 41.5 percent of Indonesia's total agricultural exports between 2016 and 2020. South Sumatra, Lampung, Aceh, and East Java serve as the primary coffee production regions in the country. However, this burgeoning industry has led to adverse effects on land conversion, particularly in Lampung province, where 60 percent of the forest area in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS) has been converted for agricultural purposes, with 73 percent being utilized for Robusta coffee fields. Despite the promising outlook, the Covid-19 pandemic introduced new challenges to the coffee farming sector. This study aims to analyze and compare the income levels and vulnerability of coffee farming families inside and outside the TNBBS area during the pandemic. Primary data were collected through direct interviews, utilizing a non-probability sampling quota sampling method. The analysis includes farm income assessment with evaluation of poverty levels among farmer households and livelihood vulnerability index. Results indicate that coffee farmers outside the TNBBS area experience higher income and profits compared to their counterparts within TNBBS. Additionally, the poverty rate is higher for farmers within the TNBBS area. Vulnerability analysis reveals a medium-scale vulnerability level for farming families in both regions, emphasizing the necessity for targeted support to enhance their resilience

Dampak Moratorium Kapal Penangkap Ikan Asing Terhadap Kesejahteraan Nelayan di Indonesia

Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Indonesia pada periode pertama Pemerintahan Joko Widodo, Susi Pudjiastuti, membuat terobosan kebijakan perikanan tangkap, yaitu moratorium kapal asing. Kebijakan ini membuat seluruh kapal asing tidak dapat menangkap ikan di perairan Indonesia. Kapal asing yang kedapatan menangkap ikan di perairan Indonesia ditangkap, disita, dan ditenggelamkan. Pemerintah Indonesia mengklaim moratorium kapal asing mampu meningkatkan pendapatan nelayan Indonesia dan mempermudah nelayan Indonesia dalam menangkap ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji klaim manfaat moratorium kapal asing terhadap rumah tangga nelayan Indonesia. Data Survei Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) menjadi data utama penelitian ini. Data Susenas diolah sehingga menampilkan data pada tingkat kabupaten atau kota di Indonesia. Data ini kemudian digabungkan dengan data Potensi Desa dan data produksi perikanan tangkap yang dikeluarkan oleh KKP. Penggabungan data bertujuan untuk menentukan kabupaten atau kota kontrol dan perlakuan. Data lalu diolah dan dianalisa menggunakan metode Difference in Difference (DiD). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa moratorium kapal asing menurunkan pengeluaran per kapita rumah tangga nelayan sebesar Rp 80.988,25. Di sisi lain, moratorium kapal asing membuat durasi bekerja nelayan bertambah sebesar 39 hingga 40 menit per hari (asumsi enam hari kerja). Temuan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa rumah tangga nelayan Indonesia belum mendapatkan manfaat dari moratorium kapal asing. Oleh karena itu, kebijakan ini perlu didukung oleh kebijakan lainnya sehingga mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan nelayan Indonesia.Indonesia’s Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries on Joko Widodo first period, Susi Pudjiastuti, made a breakthrough on fisheries policy, named foreign fishing vessel moratorium.

Kelayakan Finansial Pabrik Tahu dengan Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL)

The tofu industry produces wastewater that can pollute the environment. One of the solution is using Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). WWTP will increase the cost (investment cost and operational cost) for the tofu factory. However, it will not increase the revenue because the use of WWTP is unrelated to the production activities of the tofu factory. This research aimed to analyze the financial feasibility of a tofu factory with WWTP and analyze the maximum increase in soybean prices and labor wages. This research was conducted by a case study in Mr. Narman’s Tofu Factory and using two alternatives with four types, independent WWTP (type HK 1) and integrated WWTP (type HK 3, 5, or 10). This research used investment criteria (NPV, IRR, Net B/C, and Payback Period) and switching value analysis. The findings demonstrate that a tofu factory with WWTP was feasible even though there was a decrease in profit due to the application of WWTP. The tofu factory with IPAL can increase its profits if the tofu factory receives an incentive to increase the tofu selling price by 1,26 percent to 2,82 percent and if the soybean price decreases to Rp. 9.521/kg from Rp. 9.787/kg. A tofu factory with WWTP is more sensitive to changes than one without WWTP. Tofu factory with WWTP is more sensitive to soybean price changes than labour wage changes.Industri tahu menghasilkan limbah yang dapat mencemari lingkungan. Salah satu solusinya adalah mengolah air limbah menggunakan Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL).
