Abstract

One of the main drivers of the economy and one of the most important in Nganjuk Regency is the agricultural sector. Given that Nganjuk Regency is one of the food barns in East Java Province, the production of food commodities is important. This research aims to analyze the superior food commodities in Nganjuk Regency. The results of this study are expected to be able to become a reference in regional economic development through the priority development of superior food crop commodities in Nganjuk Regency. The data used in this study are secondary data including data on the value of food commodity production for 10 years starting from 2014-2023. The food commodities studied include rice, corn, soybeans, peanuts, cassava, shallots, and cayenne pepper. The data analysis methods used are Location Quotient and Shift Share Analysis, the results of the two analyses will be combined into criteria for determining superior food commodities. The results of this study indicate that corn, shallots, and cayenne pepper are the first and second superior commodities in several districts in Nganjuk Regency. Rice, soybeans, peanuts, and cassava became the second and third superior commodities in several sub-districts in Nganjuk Regency. Increasing inputs that affect food commodity production such as land, labor, capital, and technology can be done to maintain the position of food commodities as superior commodities and increase the production of non superior commodities. In addition, improving agricultural infrastructure also needs to be done so that superior food commodities can be distributed to other regions easily so as to increase farmer and regional income.
