Estimating the Benefit of Robusta Coffee Production in Semarang and Banjarnegara
No full textIndonesia is one of the top world coffee producers with a production level reached 654,120 metric tons in 2017, dominated by Robusta. In that country, 96% of coffee plantation area is cultivated by small-scale farmers. Besides improving the welfare of farmers and allowing a soil erosion reduction, the cultivation of the coffee plant, especially those grown by small-scale farmers, requires a study on the economic aspects of its supply chain, which provides an estimation of the coffee production benefits. Therefore, the research aims to analyze the economic aspects of upstream activities in the coffee supply chain and present the scenario through the five years of profitability. To achieve the research aims, surveys and observations were carried out on small-scale coffee farmers in Banjarnegara, a district in Central Java Province with soil erosion in the past, and Semarang, a district in the same province with a high area of coffee plantation. Data collection was carried out on three parties, namely farmers, collectors, and traders, by focusing on the income share and market channel. Later, the scenario of coffee production which is constructed by the benefit value calculation of the representative of a farmer with a high level of productivity was presented in the paper. We conclude that the progress on the development of Robusta coffee production scenario, when integrated with crop production systems can significantly improve industry preparedness, benefit, and productivity. The scenario used cost and benefits values and simulated the growth of the coffee tree with crops (in Banjarnegara). The additional result of coffee supply chain formula’s showed that crop forecasting offers substantial benefits of coffee growers and industry through five years of increased profitability.

Performance of Long Short-Term Memory Networks for Modeling the Response of Plant Growth to Nutrient Solution Temperature in Hydroponic
No full textThis study examines the development of an approach for modeling the response of plant growth to nutrient solution temperature in hydroponic cultivation in a dynamic system. Nutrient solution temperature is one of the essential manipulating factors for plant growth in hydroponic cultivation. Determining the optimal control strategy of nutrient solution temperature during cultivation could lead to maximize the growth of the plant. By identifying the process using a dynamic system, the optimal control strategy can be determined. However, developing a dynamic model of plant growth to nutrient solution temperature is not easy due to physiological behavior between them are quite complex and uncertain. We propose the long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to identify and develop a model of dynamic characteristics of plant growth as affected by the nutrient solution temperature. Chili pepper plants were used to obtain time-series data of plant growth, with five different types of dynamic nutrient solution temperature patterns for system identification. The results showed that the proposed LSTM model provides promising performance in predicting the response of plant growth to nutrient solution temperature in hydroponic cultivation
