Agribusiness: Premium Local Strawberry (Strawberry Production in West Java, Indonesia)

Indonesia is an agricultural country. West Java is one of the centers of agriculture in Indonesia. The industrial sector plays a major role, while the agricultural sector is the second largest business opportunity.  Strawberry production in West Java is high, but the amount of strawberry production has been decreasing.  The table shows that the production of strawberries in West Java has decreased from 2017 to 2019. According to BPS, Horticultural Agriculture Statistics, the decline in strawberry production has decreased along with the decreasing of agricultural area. It occurred because some of conventional strawberry farmers no longer cultivate strawberries due to the ease of attack by pests and diseases that require high maintenance costs, so many farmers replace them with other commodities.
