NILAI EKONOMI TOTAL PERKEBUNAN KELAPA DI DESA SELUMBUNG, KECAMATAN MANGGIS, KABUPATEN KARANGASEM

Abstrak

Total Economic Value (TEV) of coconut plantation is the total obtained from direct use value, indirect use value, option use value, and existence use value. This study aims to find out potential coconut trees used as wood of a beam and counting total economic value of the existence coconut plantation at Selumbung Village, Manggis District, Karangasem Regency. A descriptive-quantitative method based on TEV was used in this research. Primary data collected by using a survey method to 30 samples of farmers to obtain data on direct use value, option use value and existence  use value. Secondary data were collected through literature study to obtain indirect use value. Research result indicates that potential value of coconut wood is  IDR 470,435,250.00 per year from the total area of 330.13 ha based on assumption of cut down trees cycle for the coconut tree aged at 100 years. Next, TEV of coconut plantation is IDR 11,975,383,877.76 consisting of IDR 5,140,940,181.36 (42.93%) direct use value, IDR 3,458,111,750.00 (28.88%) indirect use value, IDR 3,136,108,890.34 (26.19%) option use value, and IDR 240,223,056.06 (2.00%) existence use value. The TEV is about 25.5 times larger than the wood logging potential value. Accordingly, the coconut plantation is better kept and managed by fertilizing to get optimum results.
