The purpose of this research was to determine consumer preferences for attributes of mandarins in Indonesia, in particular the preferences between domestic and imported mandarins. A focus group was conducted to identify some salient attributes of mandarins to Indonesian consumers. Intrinsic fruit attributes that are important to consumers include the appearance, taste, texture and overall quality of fruit segments and skin colour. Based on the results of the focus group, a survey questionnaire was developed and used in the interview process with the consumers. Evaluations were made on a seven‐point intensity scale for two domestic lines of mandarins and one imported line. Respondents did not know the origins of the fruit when evaluating the intrinsic qualities of mandarins. The results from 113 respondents in the city of Surabaya showed that domestic mandarins were rated higher on all intrinsic attributes. Imported mandarins were rated the best only on skin colour as domestic fruit are normally green or only partially orange when ripe. The fact that imported mandarins continue to command premium prices in the Indonesian market is an interesting phenomenon. Two possible explanations are suggested. The prestige of supermarket retailers (where imported produce is mostly sold) may advantage imported fruits. Alternatively, consumers may hold persistently favourable perceptions of imported fruits. Whether this represents the influence of subjective psychological and status factors requires further investigation.
Abstract. Mau YS, Madu1VFY, Ndiwa ASS, Adar D, Gandut YRY. 2017 District, East Nusa Tenggara,. The objective of this study was to elucidate yield performance of eight mungbean genotypes at two locations in Manggarai District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. A Randomized Block Design was employed consisting of 8 treatments, each was 3 replicates. The assigned treatments were eight mungbean genotypes consisted of one local cultivar and seven Indonesian released superior varieties. Observed variables included yield components and yield of mungbean. Data from each location was subjectd to ANOVA, followed by a combined ANOVA involving data from both locations. A post hoc test of DMRT (5%) was performed to compare the treatment means. The study results showed that genotype x location interaction significantly or highly significantly affected most of the observed variables, except plant height at flowering, plant height at harvest, productive branches plant -1 and 100-seed weight. Vima-1 and Murai were found to perform better than other genotypes in most of yield component and yield traits in both locations. The highest mean seed yield over two locations was produced by Murai (991.87 g plot -1 ) and Vima-1 (967.90 g plot -1 . Yield performance of eight mungbean (Phaseolus radiatus) genotypes in two locations in Manggarai). Mean seed yield of all genotypes at Perak was 365.0 g plot -1 while that in Watu Baur was 761.27 g plot -1 .
Background:The Mainland of Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) has a diverse regional topography with a high prevalence of stunting (>20%). The local government has taken preventive measures. However, the results show a very small reduction in the prevalence of stunting (±2-3%/year). This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in the Eastern Mainland Region, NTT Subjects and Method: This data was a cross-sectional study conducted in NTT, from in June to August 2022. A sample of 28 informants who were selected with the following considerations: officials from the Health Office, PUPR Service, Agriculture Service, and Regency/ City BPS data managers for the Eastern mainland region of NTT. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were Availability of Public Health Workers, Infectious infectious diseases, Open defecation behavior, Family income level, Availability of clean water and proper sanitation, Exclusive breastfeeding, Posyandu visits, Program for giving iron tablets to young women, and Administration of Vitamin A. The data were analyzed by linear regression analysis. Results: Factors that influence the incidence of stunting were sanitation factors (b= -2.22; 95% CI= -3.52 to -0.91; p= 0.012), factor of pneumonia infection (b= 0.07; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.13; p= 0.038), open defecation behavior factor (b= 2.60; 95% CI= 0.99 to 4.21; p= 0.014), and family income level factor (p= -1.21; 95% CI= -1.80 to -5.70; p= 0.009). Conclusion:The incidence of stunting in the East Mainland Region, NTT is influenced by factors: sanitation, pneumonia infection, open defecation behavior; and family income level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
