Model For The Development of Plantation-Based Growth Poles Village
The purpose of this
research is to create a model (based on the experiences of transmigration
settlement development) to set up local villages into plantation-based growth
pole village in Jambi Province. The research has found that there are five
groups of potential industry in the plantation-commodity-based development
center villages. These industries are a) the production of flour from
grains/seeds/nuts/tubers, crude oil from vegetable and animal; b) the
production of tempe and tofu, the production of soy and beans products apart
from soy sauce, tempe and tofu, the production of crackers and others alike
from cassava and bananas, bread and pastry; c) clay industry; d) furniture
industry; e) products from wood, rattan, bamboo, and others alike. Clay
industry has the highest competence, followed by other industries. Furthermore,
five criteria of village core competence which are the strongest one to support
the development of potential industry in rural areas are outside-area/village
market, market opportunity to continue developing, local market, availability
of infrastructure, and the composition of the local input. For structuring, the
elements of the system for growth pole village’s development are: 1)Key
objectives: a) Increasing the number of new business and diversification of
products; b) Expanding domestic and outside-area market; c) Increasing
investor’s interest in investing; 2)Main problems: a) institutional weakness;
b) Coordination between related parties is weak; c) Government policies are
inconsistent and less supportive; 3) Main actors: a) Local government; b)
Financial Institutions; c) Education and Training Institutions; d) Testing,
Standardization, and Certification Institutions; 4)Main roles of government:a)
Coordinating the related institutions; b) Establishing communication and
cooperation for potential industries’ and supporting industries’ actors; c)
Collecting and disseminating data and information; d) Improving the system of
transportation, communications, and other infrastructures; 5) Main roles of business
activity: a) Establishing formal and informal network; b) Communicating
with government to publish and revise regulation.
