Abstract
The agricultural resource is one of the most critical sectors in the economy, which contributes a high portion of the growth and development of a particular region. Differences in characteristics and potential between regions give rise to the basic and non-basic sectors, which then affect income contribution. This research aims to analyze the economic potential of the agricultural sector of the regencies and cities in West Kalimantan Province as basic or non-basic sector. Both basic and non-basic sector analysis can be carried out using quantitative-descriptive methods using Shift-Share and Location Quotient (LQ) analysis. The analysis was carried out using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) publication from 2015 to 2020. The results of the LQ analysis show the agricultural sector in Sambas, Bengkayang, Landak, Mempayah, Sanggau, Ketapang, Sintang, Kapuas Hulu, Sekadau, and Kayong Utara are the basic sector. Meanwhile, the agricultural sector in Kubu Raya, Pontianak, and Singkawang are non-basic sector. Agriculture in Melawi Regency has changed from a basic sector in 2015, to a non-basic sector in 2020. The results of the Shift-Share analysis show the agricultural sector in Sambas, Bengkayang, Landak, Mempayah, Sanggau, Ketapang, Kapuas Hulu, Sekadau, Kubu Raya, Pontianak and Singkawang have progressive or advanced growth, while Sintang, Melawi and Kayong Utara have slowed growth.
Highlights
Each region has different characteristics and potential
The result of the Location Quotient calculation for the period of 2015–2020 shows that most of the regencies in West Kalimantan Province has a basic sector in agriculture, which is indicated by the LQ value above 1 as seen on Table 1
Aside from Kubu Raya regency, the cities in West Kalimantan, Pontianak and Singkawang both have LQ value less than 1, which means that agriculture is not a basic sector in the two cities
Summary
Each region has different characteristics and potential. This difference certainly explains the differences in economic activity and regional income. Agriculture is a sector that always exists because it provides the primary human need, namely food needs It is shown based on the Central Statistics Agency data, which shows Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the national agricultural sector at a constant base price in 2020 of 1,378.1 trillion rupiahs, contributing 12.9 percent of the national GDP 10,722.4 trillion rupiahs.
