Usulan HET Pupuk Berdasarkan Tingkat Efektivitas Kebijakan Harga Pembelian Gabah

Kebijakan menaikkan HET pupuk memang tidak populis. Namun dalam konteks makro, kebijakan ini justru mampu memperbaiki kinerja produksi beras saat ini, asal pemerintah menjamin HPP gabah aman sampai di petani. Paling tidak ada empat manfaat jika HET pupuk Urea dinaikan: (1) Menghindari penggunaan pupuk urea berlebih, (2) Produksi dan rendemen gabah ke beras meningkat, (3) Subsidi pupuk menjadi berkurang, dan (4) Petani akan mulai beralih ke pupuk organik. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa HET pupuk urea yang ditetapkan pemerintah sekarang sebesar Rp 1200/kg sangat relevan dengan realita di lapangan, dimana harga gabah yang diterima petani hanya sekitar Rp 1500/kg atau 86,7% dari HPP yang ditetapkan pemerintah. Tanpa mengurangi keuntungan petani, jika efektivitas kebijakan HPP gabah bisa mencapai 100%, maka pemerintah sebenarnya masih relevan menaikkan HET pupuk urea menjadi Rp 1500/kg

Analisis Penawaran dan Permintaan Daging Sapi di Indonesia Sebelum dan Saat Krisis Ekonomi: suatu Analisis Proyeksi Swasembada Daging Sapi 2005

This research intended to analyze the domestic beef production and demandinfluence factors and projected for the next ten years forward in relation with thegovernment program for “the meat self-sufficient on 2005”. This research used thenational time series data for 1970 to 1999 period. The econometric model(simultaneous regression) approach through the three stage least squares (3SLS)method had been implemented in order to reach the objectives of this research. Theanalysis of the research results shown that the variables with the economic effectsfor the domestic of beef production are the beef price it self, interest, population ofcows, the price cows and the price of feedstuff. The variables that have theeconomic effects on the beef domestic demand are the price of beef itself, the priceof fishes, the price of eggs, the price of the goat (sheep) meats, income per capitaand consumer needs or requests. The elasticity value shown that the beef productionjust only response to the beef price itself and the cows price variables change. Thedomestics demand of the beef just only response to the beef price itself and incomeper capita variables change. The analysis of the research results also shown that thedomestics beef production and demand on the economy crisis are 1.3 and 0.5 timeslower than before economy crisis. Beside that, the projection results shown that thebeef self-sufficient can not be reach, meanwhile on this year, the domestics beefproduction only 66.8 percent from the total demand

Perubahan Struktur Ekonomi dan Kesempatan Kerja Serta Kualitas Sumberdaya Manusia di Indonesia

The result of Assessment on “Changes of Economic and Employment Structure as wellas Quality of Human Resource in Indonesia” showed that in 1995 – 2001 periodseconomic (GNP) structure in Indonesia has been changed from S-I-A (Services-Industry-Agriculture) pattern to I-S-A pattern. Meanwhile, during the same period employmentstructure was remain stable, namely A-S-I pattern. The unbalanced changes betweeneconomic and employment structures were predicted to be the factors causing laborproductivity and society welfare in agricultural sector were declining. In agriculturalsector itself the absorption of labor force was dominated by food crops sub sector. Therewas a quality improvement in human resource. However, the problem is governmentcapability to create employment was not sufficient to provide job opportunity forimproved human resource

Efisiensi Usaha Tani Padi Melalui Pengembangan SUTPA

The objective of the assessment on Rice Based Agribusiness Oriented Farming System (Sutpa) conducted in rainy season (MB) 1995/96 is to find an agribusiness development model that is capable to increase fanning efficiency and commodity's competitive advantage. The Sutpa assessment implementation main characteristics are: (1) to introduce new engineered technology packeges to enhance productivity and production efficiency; (2) to applicate technology with an economic scale; (3) to implement tight field supervision by interdicsipline team consisting of research and extension workers; (4) to applicate participatory approaches in encouraging involved farmers to play their active roles; and (5) to enhance coordination with related official and local key persons to maintain the implementation harmony beginning from its planning, implementation and evaluation. In 1995/96, Sutpa assessment implementation was concentrated in 14 provinces with an area of 46.000 Ha (92 assessment plot unit), and in the following two years it was widened in 18 and 19 provinces. Some assessment results show that rice farming using direct seeding system developed in Sutpa assessment could reduce labor utilization for 17.01 - 38.56 percent and it was able to increase production and farmer's profit for 40.26 - 43.74 percent and 14.12 - 24.10 percent respectively compared to tilt of transplanting system. The competitive advantage analysis also shows that rice fanning direct seeding system gives a competitive profit compared to that of transplanting system's at 70.23 - 82.14 percent of the existing production level. The Sutpa assessment implementation has been able to escalate new high yielding varieties and direct seeding system adoptions
