ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR LINKAGES TO THE ECONOMY OF WEST KALIMANTAN PROVINCE: INPUT-OUTPUT ANALYSIS
Abstract
West Kalimantan Province is famous for its large plantation area with a gross domestic product growth rate of 4.11 - 7.51 during 2021. This data shows the instability of the rate of agricultural growth. This study aims to analyze the structure of demand and supply, the linkages between the agricultural sector and other sectors and key sectors in the economy of West Kalimantan Province. The data used comes from the input-output table published by the Central Statistics Agency for West Kalimantan in 2016 for producer prices (million rupiah) with a classification of 52 sectors and aggregated into 27 sectors. Parameters analyzed consist of backward linkage, forward linkage and multiplier effect. The research results show that the total output (supply) of West Kalimantan's agricultural sector is produced to meet intermediate demand and final demand of 43.366 million rupiah. The highest value of backward linkage is the annual and annual plantation sector. This means that the sector requires a lot of raw materials from other sectors to grow. The highest value of forward linkages is the agricultural and hunting services sector; this sector acts as a provider of raw materials for the growth of other sectors. The key agricultural sector in this region is annual and annual plantations. However, the multiplier effect on output, income, and the multiplier number of workers from the agricultural sector is still lower than other sectors. The agricultural sector is interrelated with other sectors to grow.
