Desain Pengembangan Komoditas Unggulan Spesifik pada Kawasan Transmigrasi Weri-Saharey, Kabupaten Fakfak, Papua Barat

Abstract

The Weri–Saharey Transmigration Area in Fakfak Regency, West Papua, possesses significant potential for developing leading local commodities, particularly nutmeg, banana, horticulture, and marine capture fisheries. However, the optimization of these potentials remains constrained by limited infrastructure, market access challenges, weak local economic institutions, and the absence of an integrated value chain system. The 2025 Patriot Expedition aims to formulate a development design for priority commodities as a foundation for strengthening an inclusive and sustainable local business ecosystem. The four-month field study employed primary data collection through FGDs, PRA, in-depth interviews, surveys and remote sensing, complemented by secondary data from government agencies. Data were analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for commodity prioritization, SWOT analysis, value chain analysis, Business Model Canvas, and performance improvement prioritization. The findings indicate that nutmeg is the primary leading commodity due to its high economic value, stable production continuity, and strong market demand. The value chain analysis reveals a dominant role of collectors and limited product diversification, while local institutions such as BUMKam and farmer groups require capacity strengthening. The proposed strategic recommendations include productivity enhancement, product innovation, infrastructural improvements, institutional strengthening, and the establishment of multi-stakeholder partnerships to support long-term economic sustainability. The resulting design is expected to serve as a foundation for developing a competitive, adaptive, and inclusive business ecosystem in the Weri–Saharey transmigration area
