Input–Output Analysis of Cattle-Raising Revenue-Sharing Systems and Their Contribution to Family Earning in West Lombok, Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the input–output relationship and contribution of rearing cattle under the profit-sharing system to total family income. This study also explores the contribution of raising cattle to the cattle system, which is reflected in the total income of fishermen’s families in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Thirty community members were randomly selected as respondents. Respondents were drawn from three sample villages that were selected purposively, namely, Kebun Ayu Village in Gerung Subdistrict, Sheet Selatan Village Sheet District and Desa Sekotong Barat Kecamatan Sekotong District Lombok Barat. The main variables discussed consist of input–output variables, livestock raising, respondents’ responses regarding fishing activities, respondents’ responses regarding salt-making businesses as well as total income of fishing families. Data were examined using input–output analysis and simple statistical analysis. Results showed that respondents’ income from livestock raising systems averaged Rp 5,656,736 per year or Rp 471,349 per month and contributed 9.77% of the total expected family income average of Rp 55,893,548 per year. In relation to total statistics, the total number of low income families with high total family income had a correlation coefficient (r) of −0.23.
