No full textRencana Kebijakan dan Program Pembangunan Hortikultura Lahan Kering untuk Provinsi Sumatera Utara: Sudah Tepatkah?
No full textConsumption of fruits and vegetables increases the demand of horticultural commodities but increasing of horticultural production is smaller than increasing of its demand so that imports are necessary to fill in these consumption needs. The government in 2019 plans horticultural commodities for every province in Indonesia. The objectives of this study were (1) to analyze superior horticultural commodities in North Sumatra Province, (2) to analyze the specialist and localization of horticultural commodities in North Sumatra, and (3) to compare priority horticultural commodities from the analysis results with government policy plans. Secondary data used in this study were from 2017 - 2019. The analytical tools used were Location Quotient (LQ), Specialization Quotient (SQ), and Localization Quotient (LoQ). The results showed (1) superior dryland horticultural commodities were dominated by shallots, chilies, mangoes, durian, papaya, and galangal in North Tapanuli, Toba Samosir, and Dairi Regencies, (2) several dryland horticultural commodities have a comparative advantage and its production is not localized, such as mango, durian, and chili in Batubara and Labuhan Batu Selatan Regencies, and (3) fifty percent of dry land horticultural commodities were priority commodities.Konsumsi buah-buahan dan sayuran meningkatkan permintaan komoditas hortikultura tetapi pertambahan produksi komoditas hortikultura lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan pertambahan permintaannya, sehingga perlu dilakukan impor untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi tersebut. Pemerintah pada tahun 2019 merencanakan komoditas hortikultura untuk setiap provinsi di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis komoditas hortikultura unggulan lahan kering di Provinsi Sumatera Utara, menganalisis spesialisasi dan lokalisasi komoditas hortikultura lahan kering di Sumatera Utara, dan membandingkan komoditas hortikultura prioritas lahan kering di Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Data sekunder yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini mulai dari tahun 2017 – 2019. Analisis data yang digunakan yaitu Location Quotient (LQ), Spesialization Quotient (SQ) dan Localization Quotient (LoQ). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan komoditas hortikultura unggulan lahan kering didominasi oleh bawang merah, cabai, mangga, durian, pepaya, dan lengkuas di Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara, Toba Samosir, dan Dairi. Ada beberapa komoditas hortikultura lahan kering memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan produksinya tidak terlokalisasi seperti komoditas mangga, durian dan cabai di Kabupaten Batu Bara dan Labuhan Batu Selatan, sehingga lima puluh persen komoditas hortikultura lahan kering menjadi komoditas prioritas
Development Of Disadvantaged Districts Based On Pajale (Rice, Corn, And Soybean) In West Sumatera
No full textContribution of Agricultural Sector Towards Regional Income Inequality of Sumatera Economic Corridor
No full textFinding of previous studies shows that Sumatera Economic Corridor is categorized as the highest income inequality. The Indonesian goverment enacts MP3EI (Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development) program to promote equitable development where each economic corridor owns strategic economic sector. The objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of agricultural sector on income inequality in Sumatera Economic Corridor (SEC) using a weighted coefficient of variation. We use secondary time series data of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), number of population, and per capita income of a time range between 2002 and 2013. Data analysis shows that agricultural sector has the least contribution on income inequality. Consequently, goverment policy should be focusing on the development of agricultural sector in Sumatera Economic Corrido
The Effect of GRDP Sector Composition on Economic Growth in the Lake Toba Region
No full textThis study aims to analyze the effect of 17 economic sectors on economic growth in the Lake Toba Region (KDT). The data used is secondary data in the form of times series from 2010 to 2019 with panel data analysis using Fixed Model Effect (FEM). It shows a positive and significant influence between mining, energy, information, finance, and health sectors on KDT economic growth, while the other 12 economic sectors have no significant effect. An increase of 1 percent in the mining sector will incline economic growth by 1.41 percent; the energy sector will promote economic growth by 0.48 percent; the information sector will increase economic growth by 0.81 percent; the financial sector will increase economic growth by 0.78 percent; and the health sector will enhance economic growth by 1.10 percent. The government should make policies related to production and investment enhancement so that the income of each economic sector and economic growth in KDT increases.

Scaling the Manufacturing Process in Starship Technologies OÜ
No full textAutor kogus käesoleva töö jaoks andmeid Eesti ühe edukama Start-Up ettevõtte, autonoomseid pakiroboteid valmistava Starship Technologies OÜ tootmismeeskonnas. Valdkond kus firma tegutseb, on äärmiselt põnev, uudne ja pakub palju väljakutseid. Starship on 2020. aasta plaanideks seadnud hoogsalt laieneda ja avada iga kuu kolmes uues USA ülikoolilinnakus oma robotkullerteenus. Iga linnak vajab 30 robotit ning seega oodatakse tootmismeeskonnalt iga kuu vähemalt 100 robotit. Seni on tootmismahud olnud mitu korda väiksemad ning selleks, et jõuda eesmärgini tuleb tootmises läbi viia mitmeid olulisi muudatusi.The author collected data for this thesis on the production team of one of Estonia's most successful Start-Up companies, Starship Technologies OÜ, which develops and produces autonomous delivery robots. The area where the company operates is extremely exciting, novel and offers many challenges. Starship has set plans for 2020 to rapidly expand and open its robotic courier service in three new US university campuses each month. Each township needs 30 robots, and so at least 100 robots are expected from the production team each month.

PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH KELAPA SAWIT UNTUK PEMBUATAN PUPUK ORGANIK DI KELOMPOK TANI PEMATANG TOBAT
No full textKenaikan harga dan keterbatasan ketersediaan pupuk kimia dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, sebagian disebabkan oleh konflik Rusia–Ukraina, telah meningkatkan biaya produksi pertanian di Indonesia. Pupuk bersubsidi hanya dapat diakses oleh anggota kelompok tani aktif dengan jumlah terbatas, sehingga terjadi ketimpangan akses dan kelangkaan pasokan. Pupuk organik menjadi alternatif yang dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia hingga 30% tanpa sepenuhnya menggantikannya. Namun, sebagian besar petani belum memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan teknis untuk memproduksinya secara mandiri, meskipun bahan baku lokal seperti limbah tanaman tersedia melimpah di pedesaan. Program pengabdian ini dilaksanakan pada Kelompok Tani Pematang Tobat di Kabupaten Batu Bara, Sumatera Utara—sentra produksi kelapa sawit—dengan tujuan mengenalkan, melatih, dan mendampingi petani dalam pembuatan pupuk organik berbasis limbah kelapa sawit, yaitu tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS) dan solid decanter. Tahapan kegiatan meliputi identifikasi masalah dan sosialisasi, penyerahan mesin pencacah, pelatihan teknis pengomposan sesuai SOP, serta monitoring selama empat minggu. Hasil pelatihan menghasilkan dua tumpukan kompos: cacahan TKKS dan solid decanter yang diberi aktivator mikroba. Hasil monitoring menunjukkan bahwa pengomposan solid decanter berhasil, sedangkan TKKS belum terurai sempurna akibat kondisi panas dan kering berkepanjangan yang menurunkan aktivitas mikroba. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pengendalian suhu dan kelembapan pada proses pengomposan. Program ini membuktikan bahwa dengan pelatihan, pendampingan, dan sarana yang memadai, petani dapat memenuhi sebagian kebutuhan pupuknya secara mandiri, mengurangi ketergantungan pada pupuk kimia, serta menekan biaya produksi
Farm Sustainability Assessment and Model: Achieving Food Security through the Food Estate Program in North Sumatra
No full textImproving food crop production is critical for achieving food security. The Food Estate (FE) program initiated by the government seeks to accomplish this through extensive and intensive farming practices while taking sustainability into consideration. In this paper, a multidimensional scaling (MDS) approach to determine the status and model of agricultural sustainability of the FE program was adopted. Three scenarios were developed to improve the sustainability status based on primary data from interviews with 50 farmers in Ria-Ria Village, Pollung District, North Sumatra. The findings indicate that the farming status is at a moderate sustainability, and improving all aspects can significantly increase the sustainability value. The study suggests that the government should prioritize the improvement of all aspects to raise the sustainability status of FE farming in order to achieve food security
