ABSTRACT
This time for the benefit of plantations in Riau, most people who clear the land and forests by burning. Burning on a vast scale can lead to disaster of smoke. This condition is increasingly disrupt the lives of people, both from health and economic. The most dominant impact of smoke is very annoying entire community activities, such as education processs and transportation systems in wide area coverage up to neighboring countries. This study aims to figure out a holistic solution for smoke disaster caused by land and forest fires by using economic incentives. Incentives are given to the owner of land that clear land without burning. The method goes to rapid rural appraisal at selected sites in Rokan Hilir District, Riau. The collection of data and information conducted by direct observation, informal interviews with people who live near the plantation, local leaders or officials concerned and discussion with some relevant professionals. The results find that people who clear the land by burning. because they do not have money to clearing land manually or using heavy equipment. It indicates that economic situation become a basic reason to burn. The economic incentives for land clearing will reduce the risk of land and forest fires. Economic incentives need approaching of require regulation from the government. Financing schemes from Professionals and banking institutions must be discussed for proper implementation.

ABSTRACT
Indonesia is second biggest producer and exportir of pepper commodity in the world. The purposes of this research are: (1) to analyze of Indonesian pepper in the supply and demand; (2) to analyze the impact of exchange rate, price of world pepper, and combination among its to Indonesian pepper in the supply and demand. Analysis method used simultaneous equation with time series data from 1990 till 2013. The results showed that determinant coefficient (R2) of every equations are 0,51 till 0,86 and F value are 4,67 till 20,16. Indonesian pepper production significantly influenced by real price of Indonesian pepper, Indonesian pepper export, real interest rate of Indonesia, and Indonesian pepper production last year. Indonesian pepper demand significantly influenced by Indonesian population. Indonesian pepper export significantly influenced by growth of Indonesian pepper demand and Indonesian pepper export last year. Indonesian pepper price significantly influenced by Indonesian pepper production, real exchange rate of IDR to USD, inflation rate of Indonesia, and Indonesian pepper price last year. Real price of Indonesian pepper isn’t responsive to Indonesian pepper production in short run and responsive in long run. Indonesian population is responsive to Indonesian pepper demand in short run and long run. Other exogenous variables aren’t responsive to endogenous variable in short run and long run. The exchange rate depreciation, the increase price of world pepper, and combination among its impact to increase of Indonesian pepper price, export, and production and degradation of Indonesian pepper demand. Development of pepper agroindustry must intensively to improve domestic demand and give economic value to pepper commodity.

ABSTRACT
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) plays important role in Indonesian economy, especially as the main export commodities of non-oil sector. As a strategic commodity, the development of exports and the spot-futures price of CPO need to be taken in order to increase the contribution of CPO. In line of the issue, the main objective of this study is to analyse price volatility and contribution of spot price, futures price, export price, production, exchange rate, interest rate, inflation and world oil price to export. The daily data for the period Juni 2010-December 2014 and monthly data of January 2009 to December 2014 are taken as input for the study. The volatility are analyzed by applying ARCH-GARCH and contribution price and other variable series are analysed by applying VECM. The test results indicate that spot price and futures price are volatile. The result also shows that the dummy futures prices, production, exchange rates, interest rate, inflation and world oil prices variables have a significant effect on CPO exports. The CPO economic development should be taken into account those significant factors.
Keywords : spot-futures price, volatility, CPO exports

ABSTRACT
Without land, palm trees would not be economical to commercial cultivation. Climate elements are parts offactors that determine the level of land suitability. Each type of plant needsa certain range of climatic elements in each phase of growth. Climateelements in certain circumstances can be a limiting factor in crop growth stage and aserious problem since they are difficult to control. Therefore, climate elements play important role in improving crop yield and crop quality. The higher the desired yield andquality of a crop, the moresuitable the climate elements should be. Besides climate elements, soil characteristics also play important role in crop yield and quality.In this research, soil physical and chemical characteristics that were measured and observed consist of drainage, texture, depth, clay-cation exchange capacity, base saturation, pH, C-organic content, electrical conductivity, slope gradient, flood risk, and rock outcrops. Based on USDA soil taxonomy,soil types in the study area consist of Typic Endoaquepts, Typic Hapludalfs, Typic Eutrudepts, and Typic Udorthents. Further result also indicated that soil depth was the predominant, serious limiting factor for the development of oil palm plantation. Another serious limiting factor is the slope gradient greater than 40%. Severalminor limiting factors in the study area are drainage, flood risk, and air temperature.
