ABSTRACT
Research is aimed to formulate development strategies of rubber commodity which was reasonably determined as one of leading agricultural commodities in District of Pulang Pisau. Research was done from March to August 2010. The strategies was formulated by SWOT (Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threads) analysis. The important internal points represented strenghts and weaknesses as well as the points from external environment wellknown as opportunities and threats which considerably influenced existence and deveopment of rubber commodity were listed orderly in internal strategic factor analysis summary (IFAS) matrix and external strategic factor analysis summary (EFAS) matrix. The result showed that total value of the internal strategic was 6.13, and total value of the external strategic was 5.97. It concluded that rubber commodity had strategic position to be continually developed. Some of strategic measure proposed need to be implemented such as: intensification, extensification, replanting with high-yielded clone, properly preparing production inputs, improving farmers’ access to financial institution, maintaining existence land for rubber, as well as maintaining and developing infrastructure to lead better market access.

ABSTRACT
The study aims are: (1) to analysis establishment indicators of exogenous and endogenous latent; (2) to formulate structural equation model for many sustainable farming system and analyze those forming variables; (3) to analyze the impact of farmer capacity, production factors availability, capital farmer condition, economics and physical condition, to farmer management capacity, and (4) to analyze the impact of farmer management capacity to sustainable farming system. Forming indicators are 30 variables, both latent exogenous and endogenous, and 27 of those variables can be confirmed and give significan contribution to exogenous latent variables and endogenous latent variables. Model-I, has been restricted as the best for the structural equation modelling. Parameter estimation showed that the farming capacity management to manage farming system paddy-citrus is dominant and it is significantly determined by the capital farmer condition, which is composed and contributed dominantly by source and acces to capital. The sustainability of this farming system is significantly determined by farmer management capacities which is composed and contributed dominantly by the farmer activities planning.

ABSTRACT
The failure of green revolution has encouraged people to return to a locally based sustainable agriculture. The Dayak community has implemented this farming system, which is called turn-back cultivation, since their ancestor. However, after many years, this system has suspectedly changed. Thus, this study aims are: (1) to describe turn-back cultivation activities from pre-planting until post-harvesting, (2) to study Dayak community local wisdom on turn-back cultivation, (3) to analize ecology level which revelant to sustainable agriculture, and (4) to determine turn-back cultivation economic feasibility. The process of turn-back cultivation always through the regularly stages, which are some of them were preceded by the traditional rituals. Those stages have nature conservation/preservation values. Beside, turn-back cultivation have local wisdoms in terms of conservation/ecology, food security and socio-cultural. The ecological level was catagorized as intermediate because some activities and inputs were not suitable to sustainable agriculture requirements. Based on economic feasibily by using Revenue-Cost Ratio (RCR) criteria, turn-back cultivation was not feasible.
Key words: turn-back farming, ecology, revenue-cost ratio

ABSTRACT
North Minahasa is known as the source of fruits production for North Sulawesi Province and surrounding. However, in its development, North Minahasa district has not determined which fruits that can be a superior products. Thus, the research is performed to determine those, especially local fruits. The method used was exploratory method. Primary data was collected through questionnaire and depth-interviews. The samples were purposively taken, consists of: 5 government officers from the Agricultural Agency of North Minahasa regency and BP4K, 3 village chiefs and 3 businessmen. The analysis used were Location Quotient (LQ) and Attractiveness-Competitiveness Analysis. The result showed that the local commodities which became the top priority for the development were rambutan, papaya, rose apple, mango and duku. The study also suggested that local government were recommended to: (1) develop the new and existing area, and (2) increase human resources, both businessmen and farmer groups, and facilitate partnership between them.

ABSTRACT
Palm sugar processing business is an important source of livelihood for the craftsmen in the Hulu Sungai Selatan District, Padang Batung sub-District, because almost the entire villagers in this district there are palm sugar craftsmen. But, the continuity of their business might be not running well because there is no rejuvenation as well as cultivation of crops producing palm sap as the main raw material manufacture of palm sugar. In addition, the fuel used, in the form of firewood, is also more difficult to obtain. This study aims were to determine the performance of palm sugar processing business in terms of financial aspects, namely: the cost, revenue, income and business profits, break-even point (BEP) and the value added derived from palm sugar processing business. Further, the study also identified the problems faced by craftsmen. Results showed that palm sugar processing business has been conducted for generations by craftsmen, using traditional methods, yet still provide benefits to producers. Break-even point (BEP) could be exceeded within a week. Problems at the level of craftsmen were the availability of raw materials, wood as fuel and the long outpouring of working time for production. Processing technology that can save labor as well as business development is needed.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study were: (1) analyze the factors that affect Gross Domestic Product, (2) determine the factors that influence agricultural and non agricultural investment to economic growth, and (3) analyze the impact of investment in agriculture and non agricultural in reducing the unemployment. Simultanous equation was used by involving four endogen variables and theree exogen one. The results showed that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was affected by previous year of investment on agriculture (LPR), investment on non-agriculture (NPR), workforce-labor ratio (TK1), economic crisis, time trend and previous year GDP. Investment on agriculture (PR) was affected by changes in GDP, the ratio of wages per worker with total wages, time trends and the previous PR. Furthermore, NPR was influenced by the previous GDP, interest rates, exchange rate, economic crisis and time trend. Moreover, unemployment is affected by the change PR, NPR, UMPR previous years, the time trend and previous year of unemployment.The research also found that the investment on the agricultural sector reduced unemployment more than the non-farm sector investments did. Thus, agriculture sector should be emphasized in order to promoting economic growth and reducing the unemployment.
