Abstract

This research gave the empirical verification that orange’s agribusiness can be a source of new growth for its center production region, as in case the Gerga’s orange agribusiness for Bengkulu province in Indonesia. It is verified this kind of agribusiness benefited its largest stakeholder, namely farmers, based on parameters such as B/C ratio, farmer's share, and marketing margin. From a macroeconomic perspective, Gerga's agribusiness also can solve macroeconomic problems such as poverty, unemployment, basic needs, and regional minimum wages.
