Calculation Methods and Applications: Utilization of Secondary Data in the Field of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness
Author: Abi Pratiwa Siregar, S.P., M.Sc.
This book is presented as a solution for academics, practitioners, and the general public who are hampered in optimizing the availability of secondary data for agricultural and agribusiness economic studies, particularly economic development. The writing in this book uses a database that comes from reliable institutions and is a reference for stakeholders, including the Central Statistics Agency, Ministry of Agriculture, World Bank, United Nations Comtrade Database, and Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs. The use of secondary data presented is not only limited to formulas but also examples of calculation results accompanied by the theoretical basis for these calculations. Thus, it is hoped that when you finish reading this book, readers can independently carry out secondary data analysis on various topics and understand the theoretical basis of each calculation.
This achievement is not only encouraging but also symbolizes the determination of the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics to support the achievement of sustainable development goals. With quality and relevant work, hope for change towards a sustainable future is increasingly wide open.
