Determinants of Value Addition in Sago Processing in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

The study aimed to find out the effect of the amount of raw material, labor, output price, labor wage, raw material price, and price of other inputs on the value added amount in sago processing. Konawe District was selected purposively as study location due to its status as the main sago producing district in the province of Southeast Sulawesi. There were 26 sago processor groups existing in the district, and all of them were taken as respondents. Data and information were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using production structure and multiple regression analysis. Study results show that as a whole, variables of production capacity, the amount of raw material, labor, output price, labor wage, raw material price, and price of other input have significant effect on the value added. Partially, production capacity, the amount of raw material, output price, raw material price, and price of other input each have significant effect on the value added.
