THE INCREASING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH AGRICULTURE BIOINDUSTRY BASED OF CROP-LIVESTOCK INTEGRATION TO FACE GLOBAL COMPETITION ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY

Abstract

Single commodity concept (monoculture) is a high risk agriculture because there can be no substitute from another if the main crop fail to be harvested. Agricultural bioindustry is a concept of agriculture that integrates the factors of production in an agricultural area for a profitable advantage in industrial scale and ecologically insight (zero waste concept). This Agriculture concept, based on bio-industry of crop-livestock integration, is able to give mutual support between commodities in the areas. In addition, the utilization of a commodity (or part of commodity) for another commodity input in this concept will support zero waste
agriculture. For example, this will optimize plant waste utilization in the form of plant biomass as green fodder and processed feed for livestock. Plant biomass can be also processed as bio-products industry in the form of briquettes that can be used as a heating pinfold at night time and can be also marketed to natural fuel (biofuel). The research was conducted in Meunasah Dayah Gampong Bananas, Sakti Subdistrict, Pidie District in 2015. The purpose of this study was to assess the model of bio-industry based on crop-livestock integration in farmer cooperators land. The methodology used a desk study. The results
showed that the productivity of the land in the area of the experiment increased based on benefit-cost ratio indicator. The bioindustry agriculture b/c ratio value was > 1. This bioindustry agriculture b/c ratio value was > conventional farming systems. This showed that agriculture bioindustry based on crop-livestock integration better than monoculture and can be developed in the surrounding locations.
