Indonesia is the largest producer and exporter of powdered nutmeg, competing with export countries, namely the Netherlands and Vietnam. This study aims to analyze the level of competitiveness and changes in the competitive position of Indonesian powdered nutmeg compared to two main competing countries, namely the Netherlands and Vietnam, in the international market. The data used is secondary data in the form of panel data for 2012–2024 with the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Dynamic RCA (DRCA) analysis approaches. The analysis results show that Indonesia has a strong comparative advantage (RCA> 4) in the export of powdered nutmeg, but has experienced a downward trend in competitiveness of an average of -5% per year. In contrast, Vietnam and the Netherlands showed positive competitive growth, especially Vietnam, with a growth of 16% per year. The DRCA analysis shows that Indonesia's competitive position fluctuates, and in 2024, it is in a lost opportunity position, while Vietnam and the Netherlands are in a rising star position. These findings indicate that although Indonesia is a major exporter, its position is starting to be threatened by competitors. Policy suggestions to maintain and increase competitiveness require quality improvement strategies, post-harvest modernization, and strengthening export policies.

Smart Farming is a term used for the implementation of technology in the agricultural sector, both in digital and hardware forms. Cinnamomum Sintoc is a plant that grows in tropical areas with high rainfall. This plant requires an adequate supply of nutrients to continue growing and produce essential oils from the bark. Cinnamomum sintoc is planted with a spacing of approximately 4 x 4 meters to provide sufficient space for growth and develop a wide canopy. This plant requires regular fertilization and watering to maintain the quality of growth in the bark. To ensure stable fertilization and watering and maintain optimal nutritional conditions, a system is needed that can monitor plant growth in real time based on soil nutrient conditions. The system can be a mobile-based application that can move the system around the plant. Thus, an integrated database system is needed to record every fertilization and watering activity of the plant as well as plant growth and provide information on soil nutrient conditions. In this study, a mobile-based application was created using a prototype method that has features that can display soil nutrient information on Cinnamomum Sintoc plants in real time through sensors installed on the plants, commands for fertilization and watering, and record plant growth data based on tree diameter and trunk. With the prototyping technique, developers can collect data and information obtained from observations and direct interactions with Cinnamomum Sintoc farmers objectively. The results of this study are in the form of a prototype application design that uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) approach. This research can be continued with the development of a mobile-based application that actually uses a microservices architecture. With this system, it is hoped that it can assist farmers in monitoring plant conditions, fertilizing and watering, and monitoring the growth of Cinnamomum Sintoc plants.

Agus Supriono et al — Min, 13 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0200

The germplasm of red durian from Banyuwangi Regency, East Java Province, began to be publicized in 1997 and later became widely known as 'Banyuwangi Red Durian'. Since its publication, a number of farmers have been observed cultivating it in monoculture plantations, particularly spread across the sub-districts of Glagah, Songgon, Licin, Kalipuro, and Giri. Therefore, it is quite interesting and important to conduct a financial feasibility study of the Banyuwangi Red Durian monoculture plantation investment project. The financial feasibility analysis was examined using 6 feasibility criteria: NPV, net B/C ratio, gross B/C ratio, PR, IRR, and PP. The economic life of the investment project was set at 30 years, based on a land area of one hectare, a planting distance of 10 x 10 meters, and seedlings originating from vegetative propagation (cuttings). It was estimated to begin yielding fruit (production) in the 6th year, with a discount rate of 9% per annum. Based on the analysis results, it was determined that, across all feasibility criteria, the Banyuwangi Red Durian plantation investment project per hectare is financially recorded as 'feasible'. Furthermore, based on a sensitivity analysis of the financial feasibility results, specifically by examining the NPV, gross B/C ratio, and IRR criteria, even if a decrease in production quantity and price levels by up to 30%, as well as an increase in fertilizer costs by up to 30%, are considered (assuming other factors remain constant), the Banyuwangi Red Durian monoculture plantation investment project is still deemed 'financially feasible'.
