Processing Village Superior Commodities Into Competitive Multisrata Products in West Halmahera District

Introduction

Processing village superior commodities into competitive multisrata products in west halmahera district. Research analyzes superior commodities like banana, coconut, nutmeg, and corn in West Halmahera, identifying base sector products for competitive multistrata development.

Abstract

This research analyzes superior commodities and their derivative products (multistrata products) in West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province. The study was conducted in Golo village, Sahu sub-district from March to August 2024, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Data collection involved primary sources through field surveys and secondary sources from government agencies. Location Quotient (LQ) analysis revealed banana (1.562), coconut (1.544), nutmeg (1.243), and corn (1.240) as base sector commodities, while durian (0.116) was identified as a non-base sector commodity.

Review

This study, titled "Processing Village Superior Commodities Into Competitive Multisrata Products in West Halmahera District," outlines an investigation into the potential of local agricultural products in Golo village, Sahu sub-district. The abstract indicates a clear focus on identifying superior commodities and exploring their transformation into "multistrata products," which holds significant promise for local economic development and value addition. The mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection from primary field surveys and secondary government sources, suggests a comprehensive methodology designed to capture both empirical data and contextual insights within the specified research period of March to August 2024. A key strength evident in the abstract is the application of Location Quotient (LQ) analysis to systematically identify base and non-base sector commodities. The specific LQ values provided for banana (1.562), coconut (1.544), nutmeg (1.243), and corn (1.240) clearly establish these as economically significant and export-oriented commodities for the region. Conversely, the identification of durian (0.116) as a non-base sector commodity provides important context for resource allocation and strategic planning. This quantitative analysis forms a solid foundation for understanding the economic landscape of the studied area and pinpointing resources that could be leveraged for competitive product development. While the abstract successfully identifies the core commodities, several crucial aspects remain underexplored or undefined, which the full paper must elaborate on. Most critically, the concept of "competitive multistrata products," central to the title, is not explained. The abstract does not detail what these products entail, how they are derived from the identified commodities, or what criteria are used to assess their "competitiveness." Furthermore, the role of the qualitative methods mentioned is unclear in relation to the presented findings, which are predominantly quantitative (LQ values). The full manuscript should thoroughly discuss the methodology for identifying and analyzing potential "multistrata products," present initial findings or recommendations on these products, and explain how the analysis moves beyond mere commodity identification to address the "processing" and "competitiveness" aspects implied by the title.
