Policy scenario of sustainable local soybean development in banyuwangi regency

Abstract

Banyuwangi Regency is the largest soybean producer in East Java with an average harvest area of 29,149 ha / year in the 2008-2018 period. The fluctuation of soybean production in Banyuwangi Regency, which tends to decline by an average of 6% / year and a decrease in harvested area by an average of 7% / year in the 2008-2018 period, encourages the need for a study of soybean performance. The decline in soybean production and harvested area was caused by several factors, including fluctuations in soybean prices, a very good perception of imported soybeans and trade offs with rice cultivation. To overcome the management of agricultural resources that are increasingly threatening the aspects of sustainability, this research tries to find a solution by finding the leveraging attributes and formulating development policy scenarios as the basis for a sustainable increase in local soybean production and harvest area in Banyuwangi Regency. With the development of policy scenarios, it is hoped that the agricultural sector will remain strong in providing food for the community, especially in the current Covid-19 pandemic conditions. The data analysis technique used is multidimensional analysis followed by Leverage analysis and Monte Carlo analysis. The results showed that the sustainability status of local soybean development in Banyuwangi Regency was 55.10 (the social dimension was quite sustainable), 49.17 (the economic dimension was less sustainable), and 46.90 (the quality dimension was less sustainable). The local soybean development policy scenario includes: changing the food management system. become corporate farming, expand marketing access, and conduct periodic analysis and evaluation.
