Abstract

Seablite salt (Suaeda maritima) was a unique product currently under development. Seablite is a low-sodium salt essential for modern society, particularly for those who prioritize their health. This investigation aims to employ a dynamic system approach to evaluate the revenue and profit generated by the salt production system. The dynamic systems approach steps: the construction of the causal loop diagram, the development of the stock-and-flow model, the parameterization of the model, the simulation to analyze the system's behavior under various conditions, the verification and validation, the development of policy recommendations, and the conclusion with a summary of the core findings. The model was developed using four submodels: (1) demand, (2) supply, (3) production cost, and (4) revenue. The moderate scenario demonstrates that the salt flow requirements can be satisfied by utilizing the dynamic system to protect the revenue and production costs. It was consistent with the escalating production expenses. According to the optimistic scenario, the salt demand can be satisfied until 2026. The company's revenue is insufficient to cover production costs due to the rise in raw material prices. Farmers begin to reap the rewards in this scenario. It's because the overall revenue exceeds the production costs.

Abstract

Madura Island, comprising four regencies, exhibits a diverse array of agricultural resource potential, particularly in paddy, maize, cassava, and soybeans. Althought the Gross Regional Domestic Product assesses economic progress. it inadequately reflects the whole spectrum of potential within each region. A comprehensive observation of this diversity is required to facilitate a more focused development approach. This study aims to employ a hybrid hierarchical clustering method to delineate and classify the geographical regions of Madura Island according to their agricultural potential. K-means clustering, that part of hybrid hierarchical clustering approach was used to achieve aims of research. Number of farmers, land area, and commodities production were variable that used to classify regional based on its potentials. First, hierarchical method was performed to determine the appropriate number of clusters then K-means clustering was applied to classify the regions based on agricultural commodities. The results show effectively determined Madura Island's agricultural potential using the hybrid hierarchical clustering method, which categorizes locations based on characteristics of agricultural production. The research reveals six clusters, each characterized by a unique profile of primary commodity production, including paddy, corn, soybeans, and cassava. Implication of this result is offering insights into regional development of Madura based on agricultural potential.
