Introduction• Temulawak or Curcuma xanthorrhiza is easy to grow

up and easy to be cultivated.• Temulawak usefull for medicine, and healthy

supplement drinks even traditional beverages.• Temulawak price unpredicted on harvest season, as

usual very low. • Geospatial data can be used for Temulawak cultivation

planning and yield estimation, related national and international needs.

• Research for Temulawak Optimum harvest is important for increassing farmers income, enough stock and their agribusiness.

Related of the Keywords

• Geospatial information ( the suitability level map, Demplot data & information, Physical Geographic data) related Temulawak cultivation and others planning is important

• Estimation of Curcuma harvest through calculation and logical on the field for more real approach.

• Optimum harvest, using all medium classes on (suitable level, yield and price), to avoid Under or over estimate and for sustainable.

GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS

• This study is concern on optimization harvest of Curcuma in the study area (Bogor regency).

• How the result of this research could be influence of national and international needs for herbal medicine.

• The desired results is the synergies among agribusiness stakeholders ranging from Curcuma farmers, traders and herbal medicine industries.

Results of Demplot, related on: Cost, labour, actual yield and area

Net yield = 4,503 kg for 46.46 % of 2,850 m2 . So that 1 Ha estimated yield 15.8 Kg.

RESPONDSIVE OF FARMERS

The first step their ask for guarantie price at harvest season on Rp. 5,000/kg. (But for now is impossible.The second step, using optimum price on Rp. 3,000/ kg. actualy only view farmers agree, they have total area equal 2 % of (2 Villages) the stdy area. Only 2 % of land and Famers on the study area will be ready to apply , if the higest price on Rp. 3.000,-.

ACTUAL YIELD OF TEMULAWAK

Optimum Yield Estimation

Calculation of (real area available from the farmers response and their field has been observed = 2 % of the study area). Its mean that 2 % of Bogor area = 5,967.342 hectares x (actual yield by Demplot 15.8 ton/ hektar ) = 94.284 tons.

CONCLUTION

• Demplot on the suitable Level Map can be used as a reference to estimate optimum production, so Geospatial Information is Important for managing, calculating and herbal cultivation planning due to their Agribusiness.

• On the optimum price Rp. 3.000,- or € 0.24/kg., optimum yield harvest of curcuma will be reach 94.284 tons in Bogor regency. Covering area of 5,967.342 hectares = 2 % of the area.

SUGGESTION

• Geospatial data and information should be used for calculation yield estimation espcially of an Agricultural optimum harvest.• Government should learn: fix price on

harvest season and regulate an agribusiness system, particularly the medicinal plants trading.
