The Important Attributes of Local and Imported Apple : A Factor Analysis Application
Full text linkThis study aims to find the important attributes of local and imported apple. A consumer survey was conducted in Java Island representated by four big cities: Malang, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Bandung. Three categories of purchasing place at each city are supermarket, fruit stall and traditional market. Accidental sampling was done to choose the samples of consumer. The total respondents interviewed was 240 consumers consisting of 120 for each attribute. The data of apple attributes and purchasing place were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis supported by SPSS software. The result suggests that the important quality attributes of local and imported apples are grouped in each two latent factors namely quality and cultivar. Meanwhile, purchasing place is grouped in one latent factor. All quality attributes of local and imported apples have positive correlation with the apple quality, but there is a different fi nding in which apple flavor of local and imported apples are not the most important attribute that ranked fi rst based on consumer assessment. The factor of apple cultivar always associates with the apple size, both on local and imported apples. Rome Beauty (local apple) and Fuji (imported apple) have greater average size than other cultivars. Thus, these attributes are already attached one another. The factor of purchasing place becomes an important part which accompanies the apple’s quality attributes and is considered by consumers in purchasing apple

Factors Affecting Profitability on Animal Feed Companies in Indonesia
Full text linkThe animal feed industry is essential as it supports livestock industry in meeting the need of protein of a country. Feed contribution reaching at 70 percent of livestock production cost makes feed becomes an pivotal factor which could boost its sales. Unfortunately net income of animal feed companies for the last five years tent to decrease and emerged problems. The aim of this study were to examine internal and external factors affecting profitability represented by ROA and formulate recommendations in improving them. The results showed that internal factors affecting ROA significantly are Sales, COGS, and TATO, while for the external factor is exchange rate. DAR, inflation and international corn prices do not influence ROA significantly. The implications for companies and animal feed industries in improving profitability generally is by increasing sales and TATO value. Also, the company must be able to press COGS especially raw material cost which is more sensitive to profitability when its price is higher. Companies have to conduct risk management in order to anticipate exchange rate volatility followed by government’s action as regulator in maintaining macroeconomic and trade stability
The Determinants of Paddy Field Conversion in Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT)
Full text linkThe objectives of this research are: (1) to investigate the trend of paddy fields on Timor Islandand (2) to know the determinants of the conversion of paddy fields on Timor Island. TimorIsland consists of several districts such as Kupang District, South Central Timor District(TTS), North Central Timor District (TTU), Belu District and Kupang City. In fact, theyare the main rice-producing areas in the Timor Island, so they have an important role in thesupplying sufficient for locals. However, the regions are slowly started to be converted tonon-paddy-field use such as new settlements and other infrastructure development along withthe current economic development. The basic method used in this research was descriptiveanalysis and the location of research was determined purposively because this locationwas based on the consideration that there was a high growth of non-agricultural sectors inTimor Island; making it vulnerable to the reduction of paddy field area. The data used wassecondary data (2005-2014). The results showed that (1) the trend of rice field in Timor Islandis not significant with time variable. (2) The analysis of determinants of paddy field area inTimor Island using multiple linear regression with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) methodindicated that the factors affecting the conversion of wetland in Timor Island significantlyare the variable of building area and the number of industries
Financial Feasibility of Investing in Smallholder Cow-Calf Cooperatives in Baluran National Park
Full text linkLivestock grazing is a major driver of human-wildlife confl ict in conservation areas. Currently, it is estimated that 3000 heads of cattle illegally grazing within Baluran National Park (BNP) in East Java. The recent research has suggested the potential of livestock system intensifi cation to reduce land-use and conflict through conservation priorities. The research goal was to investigate the fi nancial feasibility of starting intensive cow-calf cooperatives by smallholders in the BNP area. Data were collected using Farm surveys in a Criterion sampling design. Optimal herd management plans were generated using whole farm Linear Programming and fi nancial feasibility was assessed using Discounted cash-flow analysis and debt-servicing capabilities. Investment lifetime was set at 15 years and four alternative varieties of cattle were taken from Bali, Peranakan Ongole, Limousin and Simmental. Results show that investing in all varieties represents a positive investment opportunity. Bali cattle obtaining the highest NPV ($53.769), IRR (14,25%) and B/C ratio (1,13). Farmer income can be increased by 163% by combining additional Off-farm labor. However, debt servicing capabilities of cow-calf cooperative activities showed that the loan principal can only be repaid in the 10th year instead of the maximum eight years set by the government cow-calf credit scheme. We urge the government to reconsider either the grace period or the repayment time of the credit scheme to better fit the cash-fl ow characteristics of cow-calf enterprises
Production Efficiency of Seaweed Farming in Tarakan North Borneo
Full text linkThis study aims to determine: (1) the factors that infl uence the production of seaweed and (2) the level of technical effi ciency obtained by seaweed farmers in Tarakan. Since 2009, most of the fi shermen on the coast of Amal turned into seaweed farming as it is more profi table and easier to cultivate. The basic method used in this research is descriptive method while the location of the research was determined by intentional or purposive sampling. The sample selection for seaweed farmer respondents used simple random sampling of 100 seaweed farmers. The results showed that the factors of production which have positive and signifi cant impact on seaweed production in Tarakan are farm area, seeds, labor and dummy for location. The technical effi ciency in a secure or unsecured locations are 0,93 and 0,82, respectively, with the average value of the technical effi ciency of seaweed farmers in general is 0,92. Socio-economic factors affecting technical ineffi ciency are farmers’age, farming experience, number of family members, education and dummy for location. However, the experience of farming and dummy for location have negative coeffi cients which means that both are able to increase the level of technical effi ciency of seaweed farming
