Abstract

Central Kalimantan Province can be regarded as one of the leading centers of national agricultural development. The proportion of the agricultural sector is quite large (IDR. 39,775,875 million), namely 17.19% of the total output, which is higher than the output of other economic sectors, except for the manufacturing sector. Its ability to play a role in the economy can be seen from the size of its contribution to GRDP and its linkages with other sectors. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the role of the agricultural sector in the economy. The analysis uses the Leontief Multiplier after collecting 42 sectors into 17 sectors and 23 sectors in the 2016-2021 Central Kalimantan Input-Output Table is completed. The results of the study, the agricultural sector plays a more domestically oriented sector from the output side, while it has less role (non-domestic basis) from the input side compared to other sectors. Nevertheless, to support Central Kalimantan Province as one of the national agricultural development centers, the injection of increased investment in this sector still needs to be implemented. Investment in the plantation sub-sector could be one of the other priorities, and it is suggested to the private sector to boost economic growth further.
