Abstract

Sigi regency is the main rice supplier for Central Sulawesi Community. Yet the condition of paddy commodity sector in period 2012-2017 faces a decline in harvested area by 5.3%/year. In the conditions after the natural disaster in 2018, it is more decreased, due to the condition of agricultural land which tends to be damaged and bumpy. The study discusses the status of the sustainability of crop production in Sigi Regency using Multi-Dimensional Scaling analysis. The results of the analysis show that the status of sustainability is "moderately sustainable" with a composite value of 59.44. Policy intervention is conducted based on the main leverage factors. In moderate intervention, the status value was increased by 15% and the result was still 'quite sustainable'. Meanwhile, the optimistic intervention was increased by 28% and the result was "sustainable". The policy strategy for increasing the sustainability of crops includes the main leverage factors, such as: 1) The management pattern of paddy fields is changed to a corporate farming, 2) Protecting poor farmers by increasing and optimizing timely and targeted assistance, 3) Increasing environmental counseling and marketing, 4) Increasing the extension program on the importance of health infrastructure, and 5) Maintaining an optimal extension center.
