Abstract:
Indonesia is a tropical country that has the fourth largest level of mango commodity production
in the world, with a contribution rate of 4.8% to world mango production. One of its production
centers in the Province of West Java. West Java has many opportunities and potential to develop
the mango agribusiness sector. This study aims to see the extent of the development of mango
agribusiness in West Java Province, thus providing an overview of the carrying capacity of the
mango agribusiness subsystem in dealing with various current agricultural economic problems.
The research method uses a survey method. The data analysis of this research used descriptive
statistical analysis. The selection of the research location was done by using multi cluster random
sampling method. Four mango production centers were selected as sample locations, namely
Indramayu, Cirebon, Majalengka and Kuningan districts. Respondents in this study amounted to
200 farmers who were taken randomly. The results of the study illustrate that farmers are facing
a significant increase in the price of production factors, facing the problem of decreasing
production and productivity from the mango farming results. However, even so the condition of
the marketing and supporting subsystems is still in a good state of development, so that mango
farming carried out by farmers is still profitable and feasible to continue to be developed. |
