Abstract

Based on constant prices, the agricultural sector's GRDP growth rate trends to decline between 2018 and 2020. Given the various commodities that have been developed in Gorontalo Regency's agricultural sector, particularly in the food sub-sector, it is hoped that there will soon be superior commodities that are well developed and can positively affect the region's economic growth, particularly in the agricultural sector, particularly in the food sub-sector. The goal of this study was to use LQ (Location Quotient) and SSA (Shift Share Analysis) analysis tools to identify basic and non-basic commodities in the food sub-sector of Gorontalo Regency, identify commodities belonging to progressive growth, and identify the leading commodities in the food sub-sector of Gorontalo Regency.
