Abstract
Research aimed to obtain information on the dynamics of soybean seedling in Southeast Sulawesi Province and its income structure at farmer level. The research was conducted in Landano Sub-district, Konawe Selatan Regency and Pondidaha Sub-district, Konawe Regency which were selected purposively as soybean centers in Southeast Sulawesi. Data collected through interview, observation and documentation studies were analyzed descriptively using cross tabulation, including financial feasibility of soybean seed production. In 2010-2018 there were fluctuations in the planting area and soybean harvest. The highest production and productivity occurred in 2016, experiencing an increase of 21% even though the planting area decreased by 22% from 2015. However in 2016, soybean seed production in Southeast Sulawesi was only able to meet 73.5 % of the need for seeds in the province. Anjasmoro is a preferable variety by farmers because its large seed is suitable for raw material of tofu and tempeh industry. In addition, other characteristics of Anjasmoro interested in are its resistant to falling, leaf rust disease, and pod breaking. Analysis of soybean seed production at breeder farmer level showed that from selling 1,000 kg of seeds, the net profit obtained was IDR 262,100 with an R/C ratio > 1.
Highlights
In the last five years the average amount of domestic soybean production was about 982.47 tons of dry beans
The fluctuations in the planting and harvesting area of soybeans data for 2010-2018 shows, the highest production and productivity occurred in 2016, experiencing an increase of 21% even though the planting area decreased by 22% from 2015
The Indonesian agriculture Statistics data in 2015 say that the increase in soybean production by 9% from the previous year, but the production of soybean seeds continue to decline. This is indicates that the soybean seed production business in Southeast Sulawesi is very likely to be developed [2]
Summary
In the last five years the average amount of domestic soybean production was about 982.47 tons of dry beans This production just fulfill 43% the needs of national soybean. One of the efforts has been, is, and continues conducted by the Government of Indonesia to strive the expanding of soybean planting area, by utilizing the idle land and planting soybean in the paddy fields after the paddy harvest period.
