Implementation of Klassen Typology in Mapping of Superior Commodities of Food Crops in The Malolo Agropolitan Area

Abstract

Abstract The Malolo agropolitan area is a strategic food crop production center in Takalar. The implementation of klassen tipology is used to identify superior commodities with export value from food plants cultivated by farmers in the area. This study aims to determine the superior commodities of food crops using klassen typology and to map these superior commodities in the Malolo Agropolitan Area. The analytical methods used were klassen typology and Ar-GIS mapping. The results showed that the implementation of klassen typology on food commodities in the Agropolitan Malolo area resulted in maize as the only superior commodity out of 4 other food commodities. Maize is a leading commodity in 4 areas, that is Massamaturu, Timbuseng, Barugaya, and Towata. Mapping results show that 4 areas are superior commodity development, 11 areas for mainstay commodity development, 37 areas for prospective commodity development, and 38 areas for slow commodity development. The number of areas for slow commodity development shows that the production of food commodities in the Malolo agropolitan area is less able to compete with food commodity production in other areas in a larger area.
