<strong>Abstrak</strong><br /><br />Analisa ekonomi tentang eflsiensi pemanfaatan sumberdaya domestik dengan alat Analisa DRC (Domestic Resource Cost) meaunjukkan bahwa pada tingkat produktivitas yang lebih rendah dari yang dicapai saat ini, menyebabkan pola perusahaan dan pola peternak tidak eflsien seandainya harga susu di pasaran internasional lebih rendah dariUS$ 0,19 atau Rp 120/liter. Produktivitas 2750 liter/unit ternak/tahun kiranya mampu dicapai lewat pola rekomendasi yang diajukan. Pada tingkat produksi ini, pemenuhan permintaan susu dengan produksi dalam negeri tetap menguntungkan sekalipun harga susu di pasaran internasional turun menjadi US$ 0,13 atau Rp 80 per liter. Pada tingkat produksi pola rekomendasi dan tingkat produksi 2 750 liter/unit ternak/tahun, usaha persusuan dalam negeri tetap eflsien dalam pemanfaatan sumberdaya domestik, sekalipun harga daging dipasaran internasional turun menjadi US $0.64 atau Rp 400/kg berat hidup Oebih rendah dari harga finansial yang besarnya Rp 1200/kg). Harga riil susu di dalam negeri yang cukup tinggi (Rp 220/liter) masih mampu ditekan dengan tetap memberikan keuntungan yang memadai kepada peternak. Bila tingkat produksi 2.750 liter/unit ternak/tahun mampu dicapai dengan pola rekomendasi, maka pada tingkat produktivitas itu, harga yang layak secara fimansial adalah sekitar Rp 150/liter.

This study uses data from 1999/2000 to 2004/05 to determine the relative efficiency of major crops (wheat, rice, sugarcane, and cotton) in Punjab (Pakistan) and their comparative advantage in international trade as measured by economic profitability and the domestic resource cost (DRC) ratio. An economic profitability analysis demonstrates that Punjab has a comparative advantage in the domestic production of wheat for self-sufficiency but not for export purposes. In basmati production, Punjab has a comparative advantage, and increasing Basmati production for export is a viable economic proposition. The nominal protection coefficient (NPC), effective protection coefficient (EPC), and DRC for Irri rice are more than 1: the given input-output relationship and export prices do not give Punjab a comparative advantage in production of Irri for export. Sugarcane growers did not receive economic prices (i.e. prices reflecting true opportunity costs) during 2001/02 and 2002/03 in an importing scenario, while in 2003/04, the NPC was 1.02, indicating positive support to sugarcane growers. The NPCs estimated under an exporting situation range from 1.33 to 1.99, indicating that the prices received by growers are higher than the export parity/economic prices.

The study was undertaken to find out the profitability and export potentialities of pumpkin cultivation in the char lands of Rangpur and Gaibandha district of Bangladesh. A total of 120 pumpkin growers taking 60 farmers from each district were randomly selected for the study. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze cost and return of pumpkin. The Cobb-Douglass production function was used to estimate the coefficients of the various variables analysed and MPP, MVP and resource use efficiency were also used to estimate the efficiency of resource use in the study area. The study revealed that net returns were positive for pumpkin cultivation. However, the higher net return was estimated for Rangpur district (Tk 105,299/ha) compared to Gaibandha (Tk.93, 936/ha). Bangladesh had comparative advantage for producing pumpkin as the estimates of domestic resource cost (DRC) was less than one. The value of DRC for pumpkin was less than unity implied that the production of pumpkin would be highly efficient for export promotion. The estimated results of the Cobb-Douglass production function showed increasing returns to scale. The results of the efficiency computation indicated that inputs were underutilized. Farmers in the study area used too little input to cultivate pumpkin that means the cost of using inputs is less than the value of marginal product. This suggests that farmers can incur more cost for these inputs to be efficient and then production will be increased.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 42(4): 647-663, December 2017

The study was undertaken to find out the export potentialities of selected vegetables and import substitution of selected spices in Bangladesh. Seven hundred twenty vegetables and 320 spices growers, 25 suppliers, and 25 exporters were randomly selected for the study.Net margin analysis was done on both variable and total cost basis. Domestic resource cost (DRC) analysis was also done for estimating comparative advantage of the selected vegetables and spices. The study revealed that net returns were positive for all vegetables and spices producers. However, the highest net return was estimated for brinjal producers (Tk. 273799/ha) followed by bittergourd producers (Tk152145/ha). In the case of spices, the highest net return was received by ginger producers (Tk. 231399/ha) followed by onion producers (Tk. 122308/ha).Comparatively lower net returns were found for okra (Tk51830/ha) and garlic producers (Tk 99352/ha). Vegetables exporters received the highest net margin (Tk32852/ ton) from UK market which was higher than the Middle East market (Tk22869/ton).The highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) was calculated for brinjal (1.9) followed by ash gourd (1.8). For spices, BCR were 2.1and 1.8 for ginger and garlic respectively. Bangladesh had comparative advantage for producing all selected vegetables as the estimates of domestic resource cost (DRC) were less than one. The value of DRC for all selected spices were less than unity implied that the production of these spices would be highly efficient for import substitution. Therefore, the study have been undertaken to find out this issues.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 42(2): 321-341, June 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing budidaya rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan, Sulawesi Tenggara dan telah dilakukan pada bulan September 2011. Metode analisis penelitianini menggunakan Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM), dengan menggunakan data rumput laut dari Kabupaten Lombok Timur untuk memperoleh nilai ekonomi (harga sosial). Nilai Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR) sebesar 0,98 menunjukkan bahwa usaha rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan daya saing lebih besar dibandingkan dengan usaha rumput laut di Kabupaten LombokTimur. Sebaliknya, nilai Tradable Resource Cost Ratio (TRCR) sebesar 1,38 menunjukan kurang mampu bersaing dengan usaha budidaya rumput laut di Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Peningkatan daya saing rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan dapat dilakukan melalui kebijakan penurunan harga satuan bibit dan bahan bakar minyak (BBM) secara bersama-sama sebesar 28% serta kebijakan peningkatan harga satuan tenaga kerja upahan dan depresiasi aset produksi secara keseluruhan sebesar 4%.Tittle:Competitiveness of Seaweed Commodity in Indonesia (Case Study: South Konawe Regent, South-East Sulawesi)The study aims to analyze the competitiveness of seaweed farming South Konawe regency, SouthEast Sulawesi was conducted in September2011. Analysis methods of this research using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) using economic value (social prices) data which is collect from the east Lombok seaweed. The value of Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR) (0.98) indicates that the seaweed business in South Konawe has a comparative advantage and more competitive than the seaweed in East Lombok. Contrarily, based on Tradable Resource Cost Ratio (TRCR) values (1.38) is less able to compete with the cultivation of seaweeds in East Lombok. The seaweed of South Konawe competitiveness should be improve by policy implementation of lowering the unit cost of seed and fuel oil (BBM) jointly by 28% and increase the unit cost of hired labor and depreciation of assets overall production by 4%.

This research was conducted in the District of Mempawah, which is in the region of West Kalimantan and borders with neighboring countries (Malaysia), which of course has special characteristics, especially from the aspect of international trade, so that the comparative advantage of paddy associated with aspects of international trade, need to be examined. This study used a survey method, with 183 sample, where the number of samples of each pattern of agro-ecosystem isirrigation pattern has 55 samples, tidal patterns has 42 samples, rainfedpatterns has46samples and dry land patterns has 40 samples. The method of analysis in this study used the concept of DRC (Domestic Resource Cost). The results showed comparative advantage as indicated by the average value of the DRC is Rp 2,429, - This value indicates that the cost of domestic resources for the value to produce rice, can save foreign exchange worth US $ 1. DRCR average of 0, 24 which means rice farming has a comparative advantage (<1). Irrigation schemes have the highest levels of comparative advantage and the dry land pattern has the lowest level of comparative advantage. DRCR shows that rice is still cheaper economically to be produced in the country compared with imports from other countries. The implications of this conclusion is that the spur policy (increase) in rice production in the District of Mempawah still favorable compared to the expense of foreign exchange to import the commodity from other countries.
