Abstract

System and sub systems of mango agribusiness in North Lombok, Indonesia have not fully worked well. One of the parts of the weaknesses is on the human side, i.e. the entrepreneurs of the mango agribusiness. Therefore actions need to be taken to this human capital to be empowered with necessary skills and knowledge to improve the condition of mango agribusiness in the area as well as the livelihood of the people. This paper describes the condition of the implementation of all sub systems of mango agribusiness in North Lombok. Authors capitalized data of their own research and experiences in several research and other activities related to mango agribusiness in North Lombok and other places. These data are then complemented with data from other research reports and literature. The study found that some parts in all of the agribusiness systems of mango need improvement, by which mango agribusiness communities need to be empowered, such that the capacity of the communities get improved and helpful for themselves and to the region too. The main subsystems that run comparably well are the subsystems of mango farming and marketing, although also have several notes for improvement, as well as in the other three subsystems of the agribusiness systems, i.e. the subsystems of inputs, processing and supporting service. The areas for empowerment are in all subsystems of agribusiness as well as in the whole system of agribusiness, covering mango growers, traders, and the government.
