    Does the Current Distribution of Fruit Commodities in North Sumatra Help to Enhance the Regional Economic Development? Dany Juhandi1, Ardian Elonard Purba2 {[email protected]} Politeknik Wilmar Bisnis Indonesia, Indonesia1, 2 Abstract. Fruit commodity is one of the most imported agricultural commodities. However, the government did not pay enough attention to agricultural policies for this commodity. Farmers also prefer to plant food and plantation commodities. Meanwhile, increasing consumption of fruits creates opportunities for farmers and the government to meet domestic demand. It increases due to the consumption factor of the population. Fruit consumption is currently showing an increasing trend because public awareness to consume fruits continues to increase. To meet domestic demand, the fruit market is filled with imported fruits. We need an appropriate development plan for fruit commodities which has an impact on regional economic development. This study aims (1) to analyze potential fruit commodities in North Sumatra, (2) to analyze specialization and localization of fruit commodities, and (3) to analyze priority fruit commodities in North Sumatra. The research methodology used in this paper is quantitative descriptive using secondary data from 2017- 2018. The results of the study show that (1) each district in North Sumatra has a very varied fruit commodity base, (2) there are no districts in North Sumatra that specialized in producing certain fruit commodities, (3) the priority fruit commodities are still monotonous. Planning of fruit commodities development has not been specialized so that the objectives of regional economic development based on horticultural commodities are difficult to achieve. Keywords: Regional Economic Development 1 Introduction Fruit commodity is one of horticulture commodity that is less considered compared to food commodities such as rice, corn, and soybeans.

Therefore, it needs another alternative source to meet the standard quality with low cost. One of the potential sources is Lake Toba. To meet the needs North Sumatera Provincial Government intends to use Lake Toba, but it is feared that the decline of normal water level will disrupt the cruise ship, especially when anchored at the port. The Government plans a water supply system in Integrated Water Regional Management (IWRM) to be used collectively to be efficient in construction and operation. This study aims to determine the water balance of Lake Toba if used as a regional water supply and impact on normal water levels. In this paper, the normal water levels were analyzed by inflow and outflow, not based on elevations above sea level. The method of analysis is water balance analysis done in two parts, analysis of water debit requirement (output) and analysis of water supply (input) in a hydrological analysis. Comparison of the water balance is a consideration for conclusions. The results showed that the required debit was 82.37 m3/ sec (output discharge) while the supply of rainfall as reliable discharge was 121.79 m3/sec.

  • Due to a Climate Change in North Sumatra Province
    Indonesian Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 01, No. 01, 2018 | 51 – 57 I n J A R Indonesian Journal of Agricultural Research Effect of Irrigation on the Changes in Wetland Rice Productivity (Oryza Sativa L.) due to a Climate Change in North Sumatra Province Hasbul Hadi and Diana Chalil Agribusiness Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Indonesia Abstract. Climate change is one of serious threats to the agricultural sector. In North Sumatra Province, climate change is characterized by shorter rainy season with higher rainfall. To overcome such climate change, it is necessary to provide irrigation that can accommodate excessive rain water and distribute it in times of shortage. Therefore, changes in rainfall will not be too influential on productivity. This is especially important for plants that need a lot of water like rice. To analyze the influence of irrigation in North Sumatra Province, the data were collected from 27 regencies/cities in 2011 – 2015 and were analyzed using a Simple Linear Regression analysis model. The estimation results show that irrigation can push the productivity variances. The irrigation regression coefficient of - 0.133432 shows that each increase of irrigation area by 1% will decrease the productivity variation by 0.13 tons/ha. Keywords: irrigation, productivity, rainfall, wetland rice Received 02 March 2018 | Revised 23 March 2018 | Accepted 26 March 2018 1. Introduction Climate has an important role in supporting the growth and production of crops. Climate components include temperature, humidity and rainfall. Climate cycles may experience changes that have negative impacts such as a shortened rainy season but with high rainfall.
