Conversion of agricultural commodity planting, such as the conversion of rubber crops to palm oil crops is significantly increased in Indonesia, especially in Banyuasin Regency. In some cases, this increase in conversion is due to the annual decline in rubber prices, which has led to lower farmer incomes and regional economic growth. This research aims to determine and analyze the conversion of rubber crop commodities to palm oil in Banyuasin Regency based on price, productivity, and financial ratio analysis. The method used was descriptive analysis focusing on three main variables: price trends, productivity, and financial ratio analysis for the two commodities, including comparing production costs, income, and profitability. The results show that rubber prices have decreased significantly over the last ten years, while palm oil prices have not. The financial ratio analysis shows that palm oil has a better ratio value than rubber, which means that the palm oil business can continue to survive and develop consistently and promisingly.

Yuni Prasetyani, Eka Sri Wahyuni, Ratu Putri Ganesa — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

An uncultivated plantation is an abandoned land caused by factors limiting the carrying capacity of the land and the completeness or condition of the plantation infrastructure so that the condition is overgrown with weeds and shrubs. The plantation area in question is an area that has not been attached to land rights and already has a permit/concession/business license that is deliberately not cultivated or not utilized. Indonesia has a plantation area of 26.5 thousand hectares, and 4.5% is an abandoned land that is not utilized. Thus, it is necessary to control this plantation land by government regulation. It can be utilized optimally by the community and the state. This land can be utilized by the crop-livestock integration approach.
