THE INFLUENCE OF AGRIBUSINESS SUBSYSTEM ON BEEF CATTLE FATTENING FARM’S PROFIT IN CENTRAL JAVA
Abstract: This study was aimed
: (i) to know the subsystem implementation and agribusiness planning inbeef cattle
fattening; (ii) to count the profit of beef cattle farming; (iii) to analyze
the effect ofagribusiness subsystem implementation and agribusiness planning to
beef cattle fattening profit. Thisstudy was carried out using survey method and
the elementary units were feedlot farmers. The samplewas determined by
Purposive Quota Sampling Method on 112 respondents spread across five
regencies,namely Blora, Rembang, Grobogan, Wonogiri, and Boyolali. Data were
collected from primary andsecondary sources. The data analysis used
quantitative descriptive and inferential statistics method,which include
scoring, financial, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed
that : (i) theimplementation of agribusiness subsystem (including preproduction
subsystem, marketing, andagribusiness support services) and agribusiness
planning were not so good category, while the cattlefarming subsystem was
moderate category; (ii) the average of farming scale in each feedlot farmer
was2.95 head of cattle with the profit rate was IDR 1,044,719 per fattening
period during 6.68 months(equivalent to IDR 156,395 per month); (iii)
agribusiness subsystem and agribusiness planning hadsignificant impact on
feedlot farmer profit simultaneously, but preproduction subsystem and theagribusiness
support services subsystem partially had a significant impact on feedlot farmer
profit.
