Abstract

The development of agricultural commodities that is focused on certain spatial areas and focuses on food commodity specialization will make the formulated agricultural food policies more focused and effective in activities, resulting in a higher level of efficiency. This research aims to analyze the distribution of concentration index and specialization index for food crop commodities in each sub-district of North Labuhanbatu district, the relationship between the concentration index for food crop commodities and the selling price of the commodity, the specialization index for food crop commodities and the selling price of the commodity, and the relationship between the spatial distance of localities for food crop commodities with the selling prices. The analytical methods used are concentration index, analysis, specialization index, and Pearson correlation. The results of the analysis concluded that the rice commodities are concentrated in Kualuh Hulu and Kualuh Leidong districts, the corn commodity are concentrated in Na IX X; Marbau; Aek Kuo; Aek Natas; Kualuh Selatan; Kualuh Hulu; dan Kualuh Leidong districts, the cassava commodity are concentrated in Aek Kuo; Marbau; Aek Kuo; Aek Natas; Kualuh Selatan; dan Kualuh Hulu, in terms of production specialization Na IX X sub-district is specialized in corn commodities and Aek Kuo sub-district is specialized in the cassava commodities. The relationship between the spatial locality level (concentration index) of food crop commodities and selling prices show that: the rice concentration index is closely related and not in the same direction (inversely proportional), the corn concentration index is very strongly related and in the same direction (directly proportional), the cassava concentration index is correlated moderately and in the same direction (directly proportional) to price. The rice specialization index is related to the medium category and not in the same direction (inversely proportional), the corn specialization index is very weakly related and not in the same direction (inversely proportional), the cassava specialization index is moderately related and in the same direction (directly proportional) straight with price. The relationship between locality spatial distance and the selling price of food crop commodities shows that: locality spatial distance for rice commodities is weakly related and not in the same direction (inversely proportional), locality spatial distance for corn commodities is weakly related and in the same direction (directly proportional), locality spatial the spatial distance for cassava commodities is related very strong and in the same direction (directly proportional) to price.
