Abstract

Plantation commodities in Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra) play an important role in supporting regional economic development. The diverse potential of plantations in each region requires development policies that cannot be seen in general but must be based on the potential diversity of commodities available or specific to the region. This article aims to determine superior plantation commodities based on the level of capability or regional potential of each region/district in Southeast Sulawesi. From the information obtained, it is hoped that the plantation commodity development program can be more focused and targeted. Apart from that, it can be a reference in determining the appropriate regional development method for developing plantation commodities. The research emphasizes secondary data analysis. To determine the potential of superior plantation commodities in each region, Location Quotien (LQ) analysis is used, using indicators of production volume and area area for all plantation commodities. The research results obtained: 1). The most superior plantation commodity in Southeast Sulawesi is Coconut, with an LQ value> 1 which is found in 13 districts, second is Cocoa, found in 12 districts and third is Coffee, found in 7 districts. Apart from that, it was found that the area with the highest potential for developing plantation commodities is North Konawe Regency, because it has 4 (four) plantation commodities with an LQ value> 1.
