<p class="ABSTRAK">One-Million Hectares of Oil Palm Plantation Program in 2000 was deemed as the starting point of lowland conversion in East Tanjung Jabung Regency. This study aims to review the impact of development policy in the past on lowland conversion, to compare costs and incomes between those of paddy farming and oil palm plantation business, and to analyze constraints to implement the target of Sustainable Land for Food Agriculture Protection (PLP2B) Program. Primary data were collected from observation, focus group discussion, and in-depth interview with resource persons, survey and Landsat Imaginary data. Secondary data were gathered from the institutions at provincial and regency levels. This study explored both qualitative and quantitative methods as well as by overlay of maps in 2006, 2010 and 2014. Development policy inconsistency is influenced by change in regency government leadership with the new mission not well integrated with the previous programs. On the other hand, land rent of paddy farm was much less than that of oil palm plantation. There are some constraints to implement the PLP2B Program, namely weak Regional Regulations, lack of coordination among the Regional Government institutions, and limited development budget. It is suggested that the Regency Government to evaluate PLP2B Program target by considering some limiting factors, issuing the Regent’s Regulation dealing with incentives to farmers and program coordinators, and controlling the regional planning.</p><p><em><br /></em></p><p class="ABSTRAK">Abstrak</p><p class="StyleTabel">Program Satu Juta Hektare Lahan Sawit tahun 2000 merupakan titik awal terjadinya alih fungsi lahan sawah di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh kebijakan pembangunan pada masa lalu terhadap kejadian alih fungsi lahan sawah, perbandingan biaya dan pendapatan usaha tani padi dengan kelapa sawit, dan tantangan yang dihadapi dalam mewujudkan target PLP2B. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui observasi, diskusi kelompok, wawancara mendalam dengan narasumber terpilih, survei, serta data Citra Landsat; sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari instansi pemerintah di Provinsi Jambi dan Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur. Metode yang digunakan adalah kombinasi kualitatif deskriptif dan kuantitatif serta <em>overlay</em> peta penggunaan lahan tahun 2006, 2010, dan 2014. Inkonsistensi kebijakan pembangunan dilatari terjadinya pergantian pimpinan daerah yang misinya kurang terintegrasi dengan program pembangunan pertanian sebelumnya serta terdapat kesenjangan <em>land rent</em> di mana pendapatan dari lahan sawah jauh lebih rendah dibanding kelapa sawit dengan luasan yang sama. Tantangan menerapkan Perda PLP2B sangat berat: kurang memadainya regulasi, lemahnya koordinasi antarinstansi pemerintah terkait, hingga keterbatasan dana pembangunan. Pemerintah daerah disarankan mengkaji kembali target PLP2B dengan memperhatikan faktor-faktor pembatas, menerbitkan Peraturan Bupati sehingga dapat diatur jenis dan besaran nilai insentif yang diterima petani serta koordinator program serta pengetatan pengawasan implementasi RTRW.</p><p><em><br /></em></p>
Sustainability of the Cocos Nucifera’s High Production Block (HPB) in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. Jambi Province is threatened by falling coconut prices. It influences the farmer's interest to do replanting and use certified seeds produced by HPB. The evaluation of HPB not only base on the economic dimension, but it should also accommodate broader dimensions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the sustainability of HPB. Primary data were obtained from observations, focus group discussions, and interviews with 20 respondents of HPB plantation owners, while secondary data were obtained from Statistics office and government agencies. The existing condition of the HPB was analyzed by comparing it with the standard of HPB and selected parent trees issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. Analyzing of HPB sustainability used a modified Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) Rapfish for coconut, then called Rap-ProBlock (The Rapid Appraisal of the Status of Cocos Nucifera's High Producing Block). The results showed that the sustainability indexes were sufficient and good for the social (64.18) and ecological (85.69) dimensions, the economic and technological dimensions had less sustainability (34.76 and 32.58), and the legal/institutional dimension was poor (9. 16). On a multi-dimensional basis, HPB sustainability was lacked (40.30). The recommended policies based on this research results among others are i.e. issuing the Local Regulation on Cocos Nucifera, establishing the Warehouse Receipt System which guarantees farmers a fair price, and, involving village enterprise to build coconut business units.
