The research result showed that there was a positive and significant effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity to the public welfare in Jaya Village of Tidore Islands. Keywords: effectivity of prima tani activity, prosperity, nutmeg processing and packaging. INTRODUCTION Public welfare as one main purpose of all public empowerment activity becomes a very fundamental thing which should be achieved. The goal of public welfaring according to Todaro. Michael and Smith. Stephen, . 3: . can be achived at least with six indicators which are: . the public income that is more fulfilling the living expenses. affordable education. lowering infant mortality . increasing life expectancy. And . increasing job opportunities. In this case, the public income which is getting fulfilling the life expenses is one prosperity indicator dominantly influencing the public welfare condition. The more increasing the public income in an area, the more increasing the public welfare fulfillment in the area. Public welfare fulfillment is not limited to the physical fulfillment only, but also covering the non-physical fulfillment. The public welfare fulfillment, as happens in Jaya Village, can be done by increasing the activity effectivity and Prima Tani Main Crops which is the nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation as the utilization effort of the superior commodity of Jaya Village. North Tidore Sub-district. Tidore Islands. Not only as the superior commodity, according to the data from BPTP year 2017, nutmeg is the main commodity of North Maluku Province with the production percentage of 42. 01% from the national nutmeg total production which is the greatest production is in Tidore Islands. From the rationale, since 2009 Center for Agricultural Technology of North Maluku has done Prima Tani activity in Jaya village as explained in the table 1. Based on the prima tani activity and its economical impact above, it can be said that there are some factors correlating or influencing the village economy or the public welfare of Jaya village. As explained (Sangadji. S, 2. , the economic impact of Jaya village from the production result of kasbi sagu is 28. 8 millions/year while the nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity has an impact to the village economy 23 million/year. In that context, it is not wrong if an assumption develops that the effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation is one factor influencing the public welfare of Jaya village. This is strengthened by the percentage data of public welfare of Jaya Village year 2008 . efore nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation was don. which was 26. percent, while the percentage of Jaya village public welfare from 2010 to 2019 was 40. Agro Bali: Agricultural Journal Vol. 3 No. 2: 118-126. December 2020 e-ISSN 2655-853X DOI: 10. 37637/ab. (BPS Kota Tidore, 2. To actualize the assumption to a research concept, the research title chosen is: AuThe effectivity of reformulation activity in increasing the public welfare in Jaya Village of Tidore IslandsAy Table 1.

Based on the problem, this research purpose us to know the influence magnitude of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity to the public welfare of Jaya village. Besides, this research is very important as an agribusiness research study that is expected to give benefit in the increase of public welfare through the effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity and also can be a reference for other research with the same study object in the PDP scheme or other Effectivity Theory Generally, effectivity can be interpreted as the success of an effort or act. However, some experts proposed that an activity may be effective if it reaches the determined goal which means the effectivity can be stated as a measurement from levels of a system to reach its goal. Therefore, effectiveness is a level where the goal of an organization is achieved (Barnard in Suyadi, 1997:. , (Stair and Reynolds, 2009:. , (Loebbecke, 200:. In a different point of view. Tom Christensen et al . 7:145-. showed three effectiveness elements that cover effectively translate given goals into decisions, effectively translate given goals into output, and effectively translate given goals into outcomes. From the opinion, a conceptual definition of reformulation activity effectivity variable is set as the effort to the goal achievement of public empowerment revealed according to the effectively translate given goals into decisions, effectively translate given goals into output, and effectively translate given goals into From the conceptual variable above, four study dimensions are obtained which are explained into 12 research Welfare Theory Public Welfare is a dynamic condition of public life covering individual, family, and community lives in a certain area or region. Agro Bali: Agricultural Journal Vol. 3 No. 2: 118-126. December 2020 The dynamic condition of public life is not limited to physical problems only. but also non-physical problems in a wider terms. Underprivileged family condition is a condition showing the poverty problem in a Underprivileged family condition can be identified by poverty theory and human development theory approaches. Poverty is a completely lacking situation whih is not desired by the poor, but it is because it can not be avoided by the power existed in them. Generally, poverty is measured by income and need level. However empirically, there are many factors causing the poverty to occur such as culture related to low work ethic, injustice related to the production factor ownership such as unequal land (Kartasasmita, 1993:. , (Sumodiningrat, 1992:. , (Sutrisno, 1997:. , (Sangadji S. S, 2. In the context of human development. Todaro and Smith . stated that low life standard is manifested in forms of very low income, a less decent housing, bad health, minimum education provision, high infant death, relatively short life expectancy, and low job opportunity. Based on the opinion, a conceptual variable definition is compiled that public welfare in Jaya village as a family welfare condition assessed from income, housing, health, education, infant death rate, life expectancy, and job opportunity. From the definition, the seven dimensions are derived into 21 research indicators. Theoretical Framework Welfare as one social phenomena of public economy which is the main goal of the public empowerment activity should be reached by various approaches. Related to the matter, the public welfare of Jaya village is not separated from the influence of various factors. Moreover, public in Jaya village generally has the profession as perennials or annual plant farmers like nutmeg. Between some factors influencing the public welfare, writers assume that the effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity is one factor that positively . influences the e-ISSN 2655-853X DOI: 10. 37637/ab. public welfare of Jaya village Tidore Islands City. This assumption is strengthened by North Maluku BPTPAos study result about nutmeg processed into nutmeg syrup that shows the nutmeg syrupAos feasibility level with the investation cost of 2. 000 resulted in B/C net of 1. IRR of 151 %, and NPV of 274 with project age of 5 years. means that if the nutmeg into nutmeg syrup processing and packaging reformulation activity is done effectively, it may increase the public welfare of Jaya Village of Tidore Island. Based on the theories reconstruction and variables reconceptualization, the theoretical framework can be explained by the picture 1. Effectivity of Nutmeg Public Processing and Welfare in Packaging Jaya Village Reformulation Activity Picture 1. Theoretical framework Research Hypothesis Based on the theoretical framework above, the hypothesis is proposed as a temporary answer with the statement of: there is an influence of the effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity to the public welfare in Jaya METHODS Research method is a specifically chosen certain scientific way to get a solution of any proposed problems. The scientific way means all research activity is based on knowledge charasteristics which are rationale, empirical, and systematic. Therefore, research method and approach used to dig the problems that become the research object is quantitative research method (Subagyo, 1997:. , (Haryono, 2017:. , (Sugiyono, 1997:.

Agro Bali: Agricultural Journal Vol. 3 No. 2: 118-126. December 2020 e-ISSN 2655-853X DOI: 10. 37637/ab. Quantitative research is basically used to solve social or humanity problems based on the variables composed from the theories measured by quantitative numbers and also analyzed by statistical procedure to decide whether the generalization of the theories still Sample as the primary data source in this research were 30 respondents obtained from population of 30 people consisted of 24 processed nutmeg industrial businessmen and 6 employer of North Maluku BPTP. Sampling process used census which is a sampling involving all population member to become the research sample, census sampling is also called as saturation sampling technique. Technically, systematical steps or sequences used in a quantitative research consists of . identifying and formulating the problem, . setting the theoretical framwork, . formulating hypothesis, . having discussion, and . making conclusion and suggestion (Haryono, 2017:. From the explanation above, it can be understood that the research implementation begins with formulation the research concept until the last step which is making conclusion and suggestion. While in the matter of data collection. Berg, 2001. Cresswell, 2009 in (Hutagaluh. Rustam. Sangadji. Baharuddin, & Kurniullah, 2. stated that data collection in a research can be done by the techniques of observation, documentation, and semistructured interview. However, this research does not use interview because the method used is quantitative research method.

Based on the table above, the correlation coefficient between nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity and public welfare in Jaya village was 0. and included to strong category. Therefore, it can be stated that there is a strong relationship between nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity and public welfare in Jaya village. Meanwhile, the r square . etermination coefficien. obtained was 0. 590 which means 59 percent of public welfare diversity in Jaya village can be explained by the nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity, or the influence magnitude Agro Bali: Agricultural Journal Vol. 3 No. 2: 118-126. December 2020 e-ISSN 2655-853X DOI: 10. 37637/ab. of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity to the public welfare in Jaya village which was 59 percent. While the other 41 percent was caused by the other factors that were not researched. The other factors were kasbi sago processing and packaging reformulation, nutmeg seed provision, institutional capacity strengthening or other internal and external factors correlating to the public welfare in Jaya Regression Equation Measurement and Hypothesis Test of Nutmeg Processing and Packaging Reformulation Activity Effectivity Variable to The Public Welfare in Jaya Village. The measurement of simple linear regression equation was used to test the influence of one independent variable to one dependent variable. While hypothesis test . -tes. is an individual test showing how far is the influence of one independent variable partially in explaining the dependent variable (Ghozali, 2016:8. Sugiyono, 2016:. Siregar. Robert t. all, 2. By the basic understanding proposed by Ghozali and Sugiyono, the regression equation measurement and hypothesis test of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity variable to the public welfare in Jaya village was as the following.

From the equation, it could be proposed that the regression coefficient . This shows the prediction of the influence of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity variable to the public welfare in Jaya village. Because it influenced positively, if the nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity variable increases, the increase will be balanced with the increase in public welfare in Jaya village variable. Next, the hypothesis test of the X independent variable to the Y dependent variable was by comparing tcount with ttable. The test criteria is if tcount > ttable. H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Otherwise, if tcount < ttable. H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected. Tcount value obtained from the data analysis of the influence of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity variable to the public welfare in Jaya village While the ttable was 2. 045 with the significance level ( = 0,. and df . ndependence leve. = n-k = 30 Ae 1 = 29. Because of tcount > ttable. H0 was rejected and H1 was accpted. Therefore, it was tested that there was a positive and significant influnence of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity variable to the public welfare in Jaya village. The hypothesis test result was in line with the research from (Nurdiyanawati Djumadil, and Yunus Syafie, 2. stating that nutmeg processed product has the highest demand in both local, national, and even in international markets because it has a distinctive taste and medicinal benefits such as immunity, facilitating digestion, increasing appetite, and avoiding tonsil. One nutmeg product that has a quite high demand is nutmeg juice The highest demand was approximately 1000 bottles per month . ml and 600 ml bottle packaging. and it does not include the grocery demand 000/month. Pala juice is appreciated from various parties competed in various local and national events, eben also in some Besides the immediate gained profit, it is also able to develop the creative industry and absorbing labors. Agro Bali: Agricultural Journal Vol. 3 No. 2: 118-126. December 2020 Eventhough pala juice becomes a main prospect in nutmeg processing industry, the provision of nutmeg raw material becomes one problem in the business development because a low raw material continuity or it is incompatible with the demand of nutmeg juice because the choosing of good nutmeg is the fruit that is not too young, too old, and having a good quality, so that the industrial market demand has not been able to be fulfilled by the nutmeg farmers/producers. Meanwhile, the human resource in the juice product making has not fulfilled the quality standard because of the minimum employer knowledge and skill in the production technically and economically that causes the nutmeg juice produced still has weaknesses such as organoleptic testing, packaging, and serving compared to the similar CONCLUSIONS The effectivity of nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity positively and significantly influenced the public welfare in Jaya village by 59 percent with the t count value of 6. 348 greater than t table 2. This influence showed that between nutmeg processing and packaging reformulation activity effectivity and public welfare in Jaya village involved a causality relationship and cause-effect relationship mechanisms. Although the results showed that the effectiveness of the reformulation activities of processing and packaging nutmeg had a positive and significant effect on the welfare of the community in Jaya Village, in this case there are some weaknesses in the management of the processed meat nutmeg industry that need to be taken seriously by the business of processed nutmeg, namely: the availability of nutmeg raw materials for continuous business continuity and the improvement of human resources in the processing of nutmeg, especially the manufacture of nutmeg juice e-ISSN 2655-853X DOI: 10. 37637/ab.
