Pengolahan gambir di Sumatera Barat pada awalnya menggunakan peralatan Kampo dalam mengekstrak gambir, peralatan kampo banyak menguras tenaga pekerja, pengolahan dalam sehari maksimum 4 kali, dengan rendemen gambir 8-9 %, dalam sehari hanya mampu produksi gambir sebesar 14 kg-16 kg. Rekayasa peralatan hidrolik pres gambir bertujuan agar pekerja tidak terlalu menguras tenaga, pengolahan dapat dilakukan lebih dari 20 kali, dengan rendeman di atas 10 %. Peralatan hidrolik pres gambir dirancang menggunakan bahan plat H Frame dari bahan baja merupakan hasil inovasi untuk meringankan tenaga kerja, mempercepat proses pengolahan, menghasilkan produk gambir yang konstan mutunya dan meningkatkan produksi gambir. Peralatan hidrolik pres mampu melakukan proses pengolahan sebanyak 42 kali perhari dengan hasil perhari 210 kg-252 kg, dalam sebulan menghasilkan produksi gambir sebesar 6,3 ton-7,56 ton dengan nilai ekonomi sebesar Rp 277.200.000 sampai Rp 332.640.000 ,-/bulan.

<p><em>Grobogan District in the Province of Center Java, has a potential to produce commodity of horticulture, because of its geography and agroclimate condition that suitable for horticulture plants. The production of horticulture comodities in the Grobogan District can be increased further by doing intensive agriculture and improving farmers' skill. Increasing the productivity and competitiveness of these comodities will support the increasing of import substitution of these comodities in order to save the national foreign exchange income. The objective of this paper is to formulate the strategies based on the industrial cluster and SWOT analysis to increase competitiveness of the horticulture industry sub sector in Grobogan District.</em></p>
