- Abstract
Patchouli oil is one of the Indonesian essential commodities accounting for approximately 95 % of the world market. Patchouli farming requires generous support of inputs. This situation puts traditional Patchouli farmers in a dilemma between boosting the quantity or protecting the environment. This study aims to provide a framework to examine the impact of reducing shifting cultivation and disease using a system dynamics model. A causal loop and stock-flow diagram of patchouli cultivation are illustrated qualitatively. Using surveyed data from the Patchouli producing region in Aceh Jaya subdistrict of Aceh Province-Indonesia, this study identifies the actions needed as input to develop patchouli cultivation that is environmentally and economically viable. The study shows that the selection of varieties, cropping patterns, adding nutrients through fertilization, paying attention to plant health are essential to improve the patchouly cultivation system.
