Kajian Dampak Pertambahan Penduduk Terhadap Ketersediaan Lahan Pertanian Di Provinbsi Sumatera Barat

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besarnya alih fungsi lahan sawah yang terjadi di kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Sumatera Barat, mengindentifikasi pengaruh faktor pertambahan jumlah penduduk dan faktor lainnya terhadap alih fungsi lahan sawah di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Sumatera Barat, dan mengindentifiaksi kebijakan pemerintah dalam upaya mengatasi masalah alih fungsi lahan sawah di kabupaten/kota di provinsi Sumatera Barat. Penelitian dipusatkan di 3 kota dan 1 kabupaten di Provinsi Sumatera Barat, yaitu: kota Padang, kota Padang Panjang, kota Payakumbuh, dan kabupaten Agam pada bulan Juli sampai bulan September 2017. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder dari publikasi BPS yang teridiri dari Sumatera Barat Dalam Angka, Kota Padang Dalam Angka, Kota Padang Panjang Dalam Angka, Kota Payakumbuh Dalam Angka, dan Kabupaten Agam Dalam Angka dari tahun 2007 sampai 2017, serta RPJM dan RTRW masing-masing daerah. Sedangkan data primer dikumpulkan melalui Focus Group Discussion pada masing-masing daerah dengan melibatkan instansi terkait. Variabel yang diamati adalah jumlah penduduk, pendapatan per kapita, luas lahan pemukiman, panjang jalan, harga beras, dan luas lahan sawah pada masing-masing daerah dalam periode 2006-2016. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif, analisis regresi, dan analisis lintas dengan software SPSS dan Smart PLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir secara umum telah terjadi alih fungsi lahan sawah secara signifikan di Provinsi Sumatera Barat, khususnya di kota Padang, kota Padang Panjang, kota Payakumbuh, dan Kabupaten Agam. Penurunan luas lahan sawah di Sumatera Barat dipengaruhi oleh pertambahan jumlah penduduk, yang secara tidak langsung bersama-sama dengan pendapatan per kapita berpengaruh terhadap penurunan luas lahan sawah melalui peningkatan jumlah lahan pemukiman. Upaya-upaya yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah daerah dalam menahan laju alih fungsi lahan sawah adalah meningkatkan kebijakan melalui: pengalokasian lahan pertanian pangan berkelanjutan (LP2B), revisi peraturan daerah tentang Rencana Tataruang Wilayah (RTRW), penyusunan peraturan daerah tentang Rencana Detail Tata Ruang (RDTR), pembukaan lahan sawah baru, dan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat tentang pentingnya mempertahankan lahan sawah untuk menjaga ketersediaan pangan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pangan masyarakat

The Mapping of Microfinance Institutions for Supporting Sustainable Agriculture Financing in Padang City

IndonesianLembaga Keuangan Mikro (LKM) merupakan salah satu alternatif pembiayaan bagi. Pemetaan LKM sangat penting untuk menghindari terjadinya tumpang tindih program yang membantu peran LKM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemetaan terhadap LKM di Kota Padang dengan GIS dan mendeskripsikan efektivitas pengelolaan LKM di Kota Padang. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan setiap institusi LKM dan pihak terkait. Penelitian menghasilkan suatu situs web yang berhubungan dengan LKM di Kota Padang, sehingga hasil dan gambaran pemetaan LKM dapat dilihat di “lkmsumbar.org”. Lokasi LKM menyebar di sekitar pemukiman nasabah. Manajemen LKM ditinjau dari segi aksesibilitas, ketaatan terhadap peraturan, tingkat kepatuhan terhadap manajemen, tingkat pelayanan, alokasi penggunaan dana kredit, serta manfaat dana kredit. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa akses petani terhadap LKM agribisnis cukup baik, sebagaimana dapat dilihat dari kesesuaian antara jumlah kredit yang diajukan dan disetujui. Tingkat kepatuhan anggota terhadap pengurus dan peraturannya cukup bagus. Tingkat layanan pengurus dianggap tidak baik dan tidak efektif dalam meladeni anggota. Dana pinjaman lebih banyak digunakan oleh anggota untuk menambah modal dan sebagian mungkin digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mendesak rumah tangga.EnglishMicrofinance institutions (MFIs) are financing alternatives for farmers. Mapping MFIs is useful to avoid overlapping of the MFIs supporting programs. This study aims to mapping MFIs in Padang City with GIS, and to describe the management effectiveness. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with each micro-credit institution and their related parties. This research produces a website of the MFI mapping as can be seen on “lkmsumbar.org”. The MFIs locations spread around the settlement of the MFI's clients. The effectiveness of MFI's management is viewed in terms of the member accessibility, level of adherence to the rule of law, level of compliance to the management, management service level, allocation of the use of credit funds, and the benefits of credit funds. The results show that farmers' access to the agribusiness MFI-As is quite good, which can be seen from the consistency between the amount of credit proposed and approved. The members' compliance to the board and the rules is quite good. The service level of the board is not good and not effective in serving the members. The loan is mostly used for business capital and some may be used for funding household urgent needs

ANALISIS RISIKO PASCA PANEN TANDAN BUAH SEGAR (TBS) KELAPA SAWIT DI KABUPATEN DHARMASRAYA

One of the risks often faced by palm oil agribusiness is the post harvest risk of losing fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from each post-harvest chain (loss post-harvest). Palm oil which is a mainstay of plantation crops Dharmasraya region, its production from year to year is always the largest compared with other commodities. However, in 2015 palm oil production was decrease compared to the previous year. This study aims to analyze farmers' management capability in palm oil management, analyze the large loss of FFB yields in each chain from farmer (harvest) to final processing plant, analyze the probability and impact of post-harvest loss FFB and post-harvest post-harvest status in each post-harvest chain (stage). The large percentage of production losses to the total production of FFB produced is 3.85% for the land, 0.05% for the process of crude FFB checking (TPH), and 5.5% in the factory sorting (PKS). The impact of losses resulting from post-harvest loss of FFB in total per hectare of land is Rp 2,848,528,41 at factory sorting, and is the biggest loss compared to other chains

The Bases of the Viability of Agribusiness Microfinance Institution (AMFI): Findings of a Survey of Successfull Government-Sponsored AMFIs in West Sumatra, Indonesia

Government involvement in developing microfinance institutions highlights the rise of welfare state approach to sustainable rural-agricultural development. In West Sumatra province, government initiated the development of 1037 units Agribusiness Micro Finance Institution (AMFI) since 2008. By 2016, however, more than 30 percent of these AMFIs were reported inactive, most of those considered active were actually stagnant in terms of assets accumulation, and only a small number were able to double, or more, their assets. This research aims at disclosing some key characteristics of this successful AMFIs based on a survey of 30 successful AMFIs in three districts in West Sumatra. Based on the methods these AMFIs used to mobilize funds, their policies in the ways credit being delivered and the methods they used to ensure credit repayment it is concluded that these AMFIs are developing closer toward institutionalist, rather than welfarist, perspective on microfinance institutional development. Inevitably, serving particularly the better-off segments of the rural population is likely to be the basis of their viability. The poorer segments of rural agricultural population are unlikely to be able to access credit from these AMFIs
