Mapping the Agribusiness Potency of Chicken Eggs in Indonesia: The Base Sector Analysis

Abstract

The sector base mapping of chicken eggs is very important in the development of agribusiness nationally in Indonesia. The novelties of this study are to examine the economic potential of chicken egg agribusiness, and to map the agribusiness potency of chicken eggs by province in Indonesia. The purpose of the study was to analyse: i) mapping of chicken egg production and consumption by province in Indonesia, ii) mapping of the surplus/deficit of chicken eggs by province, iii) base sector of chicken egg by province in Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from the Statistics of Indonesia (BPS-Badan Pusat Statistik) since 2010 until 2020. Data analysis uses quantitative descriptive and determination of base sector with a Location Quotient (LQ) approach which aims to determine the base sector of chicken egg in all provinces in Indonesia. The results showed that there are seven provinces in Indonesia that have more than 150 × 10⁶ t of chicken eggs in one year, the largest of which is East Java Province. The findings of the chicken base sector are expected to be used as a basis for agribusiness actors in finding market opportunities and distribution strategies of chicken eggs.
