Web-based Decision Support System for Agribusiness Development in Oil Palm Plantations at Siak Local Government Using Policy Analysis Matrix

Agribusiness development in oil palm plantations can be used as one of the local government efforts, particularly by Siak local government in Indonesia, in generating revenue. Therefore we need a study that can provide a comparison of the level of competitiveness and efficiency of policies in the development of palm oil and its impact. The research was conducted by using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The calculations in PAM are quite complicated and difficult. Therefore, in conducting this study, we also created a web-based decision support system called Decision Support Systems fo Oil Palm Plantations (DSSOPP). By using DSSOPP, the simulation of various change variables scenarios in the calculation of PAM can be done more easily and quickly. In addition, it can be seen that the simulation results of the DSSOPP were quite suitable with the opinion and the experience of economic experts.
