Pengembangan Sistem Terpadu Jagung–Pakan–Ayam Petelur sebagai Strategi Hilirisasi dan Industrialisasi Pedesaan di Kawasan Transmigrasi Telang, Banyuasin, Sumatera Selatan

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential of maize downstreaming through the development of an integrated maize–feed–layer poultry system as a model for strengthening the local economy in the Telang Transmigration Area, Banyuasin Regency. The research employed spatial land-use analysis, value chain assessment, financial feasibility study, and evaluation of biophysical and institutional suitability. The results indicate that Tanjung Lago District serves as the primary maize production center, contributing 92 percent of the area’s total output, making it highly suitable as the foundation for a community-based feed industry. Establishing a mini feed mill utilizing local maize significantly reduces feed costs by 10–15 percent, increases the profitability of layer farming, and enhances upstream–downstream integration within the regional agribusiness system. Financial feasibility analysis shows an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 26.50 percent and a Payback Period of 4.07 years, demonstrating that the model is economically viable and capable of improving household income among transmigrant communities. The study concludes that maize downstreaming through feed industrialization and poultry integration is an effective strategy to enhance commodity value addition, create employment opportunities, and strengthen regional food security.
