Analysis of aquaculture leading commodities in Central Java using Location Quotient and Shift Share methods

Abstract

Abstract The condition of capture fisheries is currently stagnating, even tended to decline, which is indicated by the decrease of production in some fishery development areas in Indonesia. Aquaculture is one solution that can be done. Central Java Province is a province that has a large aquaculture potential, therefore of course Central Java province has leading commodities that become the sector of regional economic development. This research discusses about the potential location for the development of each leading commodities in Central Java Province as a recommendation related to the center of fisheries production. Analytical methods in this research are Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift share. It used to see how big these locations have a potential in the development of aquaculture production and to identify spatial autocorrelation in the amount of aquaculture production using Moran’s index. The analysis of LQ and shift share shows that each district has a different potential in the development of leading commodities production. The value of the Moran’s index obtained equal to -0.1381, that is in the range of -1 < I ≤ 0, indicating that the presence of spatial autocorrelation is negative but small because of near to zero. It can be concluded that there is no similarity of the values between the districts or indicate that amount of aquaculture production among the districts in Central Java is not correlated.
