Entering the international trade era, Indonesia must has the right strategy to maintain its position as an exporter in the world. One strategy which can be implemented is to increase the competitiveness of export commodities that have comparative and competitive advantages in order to be able to compete with other countries' commodities. Therefore, an in-depth study is needed on increasing the competitiveness of shrimp commodities in order to increase fisheries commodity exports. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors which affect the competitiveness of Indonesian shrimp commodity exports in four export destination countries and to formulate strategies to increase production potential and competitiveness of shrimp commodities in the markets of the four export destinations. This research was conducted in intensive and semi-intensive pond areas in Lampung and shrimp processing centers in East Java from January until November 2016. The types of data source were primary data from observation and secondary data in panel data form. Some of the analytical methods used in analyzing competitiveness are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), the gravity model for analyzing factors that influence shrimp export offerings in export destination countries. Data processing is done using Microsoft Excel 2007 and E views 6. The analysis of the competitiveness of Indonesian shrimp commodity exports showed that during the period 2004 - 2014, Indonesian shrimp commodities had a comparative advantage or strong competitiveness in Japan, the USA and the United Kingdom. Estimated results from the data panel regression model, note that the factors that significantly influence the value of Indonesian shrimp exports are the nominal GDP of the destination country, the rupiah exchange rate, economic distance, and the value of Indonesian shrimp exports in the previous year. The strategy in increasing the production capacity and competitiveness of domestic shrimp business actors is to maintain the availability and quality of shrimp farming resources, especially quality shrimp seeds.
Farmer groups have been critical in pursuing agricultural development, particularly in developing countries. Indonesia’s government has promoted the development of farmer groups in recent years, mainly in the rice sector, as a strategic agricultural commodity. This paper explored the relations between farmer group membership, farming practices, and productivity in the Indonesian rice sector. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and regression analysis were employed to examine the 2014 National Agricultural Survey data. The empirical findings confirmed the positive relations between farmer group membership and productivity in the Indonesian rice sector. Furthermore, farmers’ characteristics covering age, gender, education level, and farming practices, such as land status and access to irrigation, all played a role in determining the extent to which farmers participated in farmer groups.
<em><span>Lampung Province is one of the coffee producing. This is because the topology of the region is very suitable for the fertility of coffee plants. The majority of coffee farmers in Indonesia carry out farming activities in rural areas with small business scale and limited access to innovation, capital, management, technology and information. One factor that causes farmers to be competitive in the context of entrepreneurship at the farmer level is the lack of entrepreneurial skills for farmers, so farmers who are engaged in the agribusiness sector, especially in the upstream subsystem, are very difficult to align with an entrepreneur in the non-agribusiness sector. The lack of entrepreneurial character and entrepreneurial capacity such as entrepreneurial skills is what causes farmers to be less competitive, which results in the agribusiness sector not being able to develop optimally. Adoption of farmers to agricultural technology is determined by their need for the level of technology offered and the suitability of technology for environmental, biophysical, and socio-cultural conditions in an area. The purpose of this study was to determine the general description and profile of Lampung coffee farmers, to find out the entrepreneurial characteristics of Lampung coffee farmers, and to analyze the characteristics, channels and stages of adoption of innovative Lampung coffee farmers with 160 respondents.

The active pharmaceutical ingiridients industry is an infant industry in Indonesia. Efforts to carry out development have been made but have not been able to achieve the expected competitiveness so far. It is realized that competitiveness is an important part that can encourage the development of the active pharmaceutical ingiridients industry, so it is important to develop a useful strategy to develop the industry as expected. The formulation of the strategy is based on the statements of 16 experts who have experience in the pharmaceutical field in Indonesia. The analytical method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The final results show that the government plays an important role in encouraging industrial development and increasing its competitiveness, so that it can ultimately encourage other industries.
Keanekaragaman hayati laut dan kepulauan mempunyai daya tarik wisata yang potensial untuk dikembangkan. Pulau kecil dengan kondisi terumbu karang yang baik menjadi obyek wisata yang sangat diminati.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui kondisi terumbu karang dan evaluasi keindahan Pulau Gili Labak Sumenep.Metode pengukuran terumbu karang menggunakan metode LIT (Line Intercept Transect) dan Metode Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) digunakan untuk menilai dan menganalisis kualitas pemandangan lanskap. Metode ini menggunakan kuisioner berisi dokumentasi (foto lokasi) dengan foto lokasi pembanding (Pulau Gili Trawangan sebagai pembanding).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karang hidup 63,1%, karang mati 33,1%, fauna lain 0,6%, algae 3,61% dan abiotik 2,6%. Rasio kematian karang (Indeks mortalitas) masuk dalam kategori sedang (0,35). Hasil analisa SBE menunjukkan dari 15 foto yang dibandingkan ada 5 foto yang nilainya positif dan 10 foto yang nilainya negatif.Hal ini menunjukkan ada 5 lokasi lanskap yang lebih baik di Pulau Gili Labak, dan ada 10 lokasi lanskap yang lebih baik di lokasi pembanding. Nilai terendah terdapat -8.36 pada foto lanskap 13 dan nilai tertinggi 6,26 pada foto lanskap 3. Pada kawasan yang memiliki nilai yang rendah perlu dilakukan perlakukan khusus untuk meningkatkan nilai lanksap.Fasilitas yang kurang menarik menjadikan alasan beberapa foto lanskap menjadi rendah, perlu pengembangan fasilitas untuk menunjang kepuasan pengunjung. Marine biodiversity and archipelagic have a potential tourist attraction to be developed. Small island with good Coral reef condition are very popular tourist attractions. The purpose of this study is to determine the condition of Coral reefs condition and evaluate the beauty of Gili Labak Island, Sumenep. The method of Coral reef measurement uses LIT (Line Intercept Transect) method and the Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) method is used to assess and analyze the quality of landscape views. This method uses a questionnaire containing documentation (location photos) with photos of comparison location (Gili Trawangan Island as comparison) athe results showed live coral 63.1%, dead coral 33.1%, other fauna 0.6%, algae 3.61%, and abiotic 2.6%. Coral mortality ratio (mortality index) is in the moderate category (0.35). The results of SBE Analysis showed that from 15 photos that were compared, there were 5 photos with positive values and 10 photos with negative values. This shows that there are 5 better landscape locations on Gili Labak Island, and there are 10 better landscape locations on the comparison location. The lowest value is -8.36 for landscape photos 13 and the highest value is 6.26 for landscape photos 3. In areas with low values, special treatment is needed to increase the landscape value. Unattractive facilities are the reason why some landscape photos are low, it is necessary to develop facilities to support visitor satisfaction.
