Abstract

Indonesia is known as an agrarian country, should rely on the agricultural sector as an economic source as well as supporting development. In addition to the economic aspects, the progress of agriculture is also very important for the provision of nutrients for the maintenance and improvement of public health. This study uses the Location Quotient method to obtain a base subsector in the agricultural sector, so that the results can be used as material for consideration of export specialties. This study uses East Java GRDP data and as a comparison using Indonesia’s GRDP in 2010-2016. The results in this study indicate that the food crop and livestock sub-sector has an advantage compared to other sub-sectors and becomes a subsector of the base, so that these two sub-sectors can be used as export products for East Java.

Highlights

The economic growth of a region can be seen from the increase in Gross Regional Domestic Products (GRDP).(1) Sector in GRDP is agriculture, mining and excavation, processing industry, electricity, gas and water sector, building sector, trade, hotel and restaurant sector, transportation and communication sector, financial sector, leasing and business services, and services sector.(2) A region is said to be agrarian if the role of the agricultural sector is very dominant in its GDP, and vice versa is said to be an industrial area if the dominant sector is the industry
Indonesia is known as an agrarian country, should rely on the agricultural sector as an economic source as well as supporting development
The role of the agricultural sector in economic development is very important, because most members of Indonesian society depend their lives on the sector

Summary

Introduction

The existence of agricultural potential in an area does not have meaning for the agricultural growth of the region if there is no effort to utilize and develop the potential of agriculture optimally. The utilization and development of all potential agricultural potentials must be a top priority to be explored and developed in implementing regional agricultural development as a whole.(3). Indonesia is known as an agrarian country, should rely on the agricultural sector as an economic source as well as supporting development. The role of the agricultural sector in economic development is very important, because most members of Indonesian society depend their lives on the sector. If the planners really pay attention to the welfare of their people, the only way is to improve the welfare of most members of their community who live in the agricultural sector. If the planners really pay attention to the welfare of their people, the only way is to improve the welfare of most members of their community who live in the agricultural sector. (4) The agricultural sector is still a part of potential development resources to be used as a strategic sector of current and future development planning, both at the national and regional levels.(5)
