Abstract

So far, the potential for sweet potato in Papua Province has only provided traditional benefits as the second staple food after rice/sago and has not provided benefits for improving the economy of the people of Papua. To obtain optimal benefits, a pilot model is needed for the development of the sweet potato processing industrial cluster so that all parties interested in the development of this commodity can directly see the development model being applied.
The aim is to describe and analyze sweet potato as a superior product in industrial clusters through the application of a development model and analyze the potential economic diversification of sweet potato and the selling value of the community in Papua Province.
Disclosure of facts in the field in a descriptive way using research instruments, observations, and interviews. Facts on the ground are then analyzed and given meaning.
The sweet potato commodity has not been able to make a significant contribution to the agricultural sector, the food crop sub-sector, and the sweet potato commodity, Papua Province. Industrial clusters for superior sweet potato products that can be developed in Papua Province are small-scale, farmer-level based sweet potato industry clusters supported by farmer groups and customary institutions- medium-scale sweet potato industrial clusters, producing flour ingredients by third parties or private/agencies to be sold outside the region- the two clusters that have been formed need the support of policymakers, banks and the assistance of researchers and extension workers to support the process from cultivation, post-harvest to processing into sweet potato flour.
To increase sweet potato production so that it becomes a leading sector, land extensification is needed. It is also necessary to increase public interest in planting sweet potatoes. Improve prices so that farmers do not experience losses. The Department of Trade and Agriculture monitors market prices, especially for sweet potato.
