The sector of agriculture in garut

Garut is one of district which economy activity dominant in agriculture. The natural resources potensial and culture farming was support the activity. However, the activity has been not taking up their civil prosperity. This condition indicated Garut as one of latest district in Indonesia. There for, development of dominant activity potential need to take up prosperity and a whole of regional develompent. One of mainstay agriculture sector is horticulture, specially in vegetables commodities. This commodities has been extensive cultivating in Garut as trading commodities. However, this comodities cultivation carrying out not optimal. Because of this condition, need to superior commodities identification and their distribution in this region. Case study in focused in north development area in Garut. The methode of this research is regional potensial analysis in physical, locational, competitive, and spatial aspect.
Result of this research indicate several vegetables commodities can be develop in this location in short time as well as long time. These commodities groups in four great group as : Priority Superior Commodities, Potensial Superior Commodities, Priority Potential Commodities, and Potensial Commodities in a long time development. Priority superior Commodities is Red Chili in Sukawening, Tomatoes in Cibiuk, and Leaf Onion in Pasirwangi. Potential Superior, Priority Potential Commodities, and Potensial Commodities in a long time development indicate can be spread of develop in several subdistric regarding spatial distribution of these group commodities.
The sector of agriculture was one of the sectors in the economic field yang had the meaning and the important position in the national development. The sector this played a role as the source of the material producer ate, the source of the raw material for the industry, some of the Livelihood the inhabitants, the producer of the country's foreign exchange from the export of his Commodity in fact a big towards the stability and national security. However the existence of the limited land not capable matched the requirement for the land is very fast both from the agricultural sector and non-agriculture, arising as a result the competition for the use of the land that they overlap each other and not consider the aspect of conservation of the environment (Djaenuddin, 1996).
Various development efforts need was carried out, among them by making an exact rational planning, and through both the technical and non technical aspect. The technical aspect could be done among them the potential to decisively territory whereas the technical aspect can be carried out was with the policy approach for the development of this territory. The two aspects are mutually connected tight against the success of the process and results of the development of the territory. The technical aspect was one basic and one appropriate method for development planning area because by this means could see the potential in the power and supported the land in this area for the kinds of land that in considering the assessment of the potential for the territory is the one of the methods that could be used to look for the land that is potential for the development of agriculture.
With the implementation of the assessment potential of this territory was hoped would produce for a planning and development of exact rational agriculture, where the utilization of his land could be optimum, lasting and continuous. The potential of this territory assessment was done through analysis of the potential good territory for the physically and social economics. With this approach was hoped for the resulting potential territory took the form of the supreme Commodity that had the comparative and competitive superiority.
This activity was carried out with the use made of the secondary data that was and still this was representative for the territory that was processed through the analysis of the territory and was integrated with the Geographical Information System. Series of the process of the assessment of the potential for the territory in the top of the results as well as was hoped for finally could more was easy to be understood and understood, and could give fast, rational and actual information, so as can be supportive in the planning of a territory especially for planning the development of agriculture commodities supreme or vegetables in the Garut Regency.
As the dominant sector in the region was based on nature resources, agriculture had the role as the producer of food, the raw materials and industrial raw materials, the provider of employment opportunities and employment efforts, the source of foreign exchange as well as the preservation function of the environment (Nasution, 1997). This shows the Importance of the role of development that could mean the system change from the traditional to modern. Hayami and Kikuchi (in Kasryno, 1984) said that the activity of agriculture in the rural region was difficult to be separated from the whole because of economics that took place generations descended this became the culture.
Because by that, the development of agriculture not only make an effort in order to happen the transformation of production systems only, but also the social Transformation. Therefore, in order that the development of agriculture in some areas went effective must be connected with the social aim, economics or other resources (Barbier, 1991 in Robert, 1995; Saragih, 1997; Nasution, 1997; Jayadinata, 1999; Soepriyanto, 1999).
One of the agricultural commodities that had the potential to be developed in the framework of the development of the territory is horticulture. Horticulture (vegetables, the fruit, flower's) is the supreme Commodity, especially in Java island. The superiority of this is supported by the Commodity condition for the environment (the land and the climate) that was supportive in several locations, some communities that already knew him well, the potential human resources that was not made use of optimally as well as opportunities for the domestic and international market is very big (Saragih, 1997). In addition to the supreme Commodity, horticulture also played a role as the source of nutrition the community, the provider of the field of the work, and supporting the activity and agro agroindustry (Soekartawi, 1996).
The matter is indicated that the development of horticulture was related to the aspect that covered a wider Tecno-economic socio-culture with the farmer. Inspected from the process of production time, the Season planted a short rotation enabled the capital increasingly fast and could minimize the uncertainty factor because of the nature (Mubyarto, 1989).
Was based on results of the analysis, there are of the Commodity Classification is that: the supreme priority, supreme potential, the potential priority commodities and the Commodity potential in the long term. The Commodity winning the priority was determined by the value analysis of the superior location, the high potential for the development, and economically beneficial (high power fangs). The Commodity superior potential was determined by the value of the superior location of the analysis, the potential for the land development for the area or are low, and had the high competitive power. The potential Commodity priority was determined by the analysis of the potential location, the potential for the development land area for the high and economically beneficial. Whereas the potential Commodity that could be developed in the long term was determined by the location of potential analysis, the potential for the area of land development and the high was, and economically beneficial. Views from his study in the distribution territory, it can be seen that the potential for his area was very small.
The supreme Commodity that the priority was determined that is the Great chilli in the Sukawening Subdistrict widely 1868.4 ha of land, as well as the Spring Onion in the Selaawi Subdistrict widely 538.31 ha of land. Nevertheless there is a supreme potential and potential commodities that could be developed further continued. Therefore the number and area Commodity supreme in the region would pembanguanan the north increased.
