Abstract

As an emerging economic sector, agriculture in the Province of Bangka Belitung has less contribution both in terms of production and contribution towards farmer’s income. Therefore, the implementation of sustainable agriculture by integrating crops and livestock is argued to increase the competitiveness of agricultural products and farmer’s income. Based on local resources, one of the sustainable agricultural applications that can be implemented in Bangka Belitung is bio-industrial agriculture by integrating oil palm, citronella, and cattle farming to optimize marginal land. The concept of the bio-industrial agriculture model in this project contained several aspects i.e., environmentally friendly, effective and efficient, competitive, and profitable. The model implemented in the farmer groups increased farmer’s income from oil palm plantations and beef cattle. This was due to an increase in the productivity of Bali cattle with an average daily gain (ADG) of 0.22 kg to 0.56 kg, also an increase in the production of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm. In general, the model of oil palm-cattle integration is suitable for sustainable agricultural development in Bangka Belitung.

Highlights

Bangka Belitung archipelago is a province located to the east of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia
This can be seen from the contribution of the agricultural sector to the GRDP of the Bangka Belitung Province in 2017 of 18.16%, higher than the mining sector which was only 13.26% [1].This sector is only rivaled by the industrial sector which is the mainstay of the people's economy
Semoga Jaya farmer group had 12 of beef cattle that raised in the cowshed located in the oil palm plantation

Summary

Introduction

Bangka Belitung archipelago is a province located to the east of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. In this province the agricultural sector plays an important role to the economic growth. As an archipelago where economy was originally based on mining, the demand for food is mostly supplied from other islands around it such as Sumatra and Java. This makes Bangka Belitung a province with a low Food Security Index, which is only 56.03
