Abstract:
Based on the results of Basic Health Research on 2018 shows that 95.5% of the population aged ? 5 years consume less vegetables and fruits. Meanwhile, in West Java Province, 98.2% of the population aged ? 5 years does not consume vegetables and fruits. The proportion is even higher when compared to the proportion nationally. Lack of consumption of vegetables and fruits can affect the supply of fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are needed by the body. Although the interest in vegetable consumption of Indonesians is still relatively low, in Indonesia vegetables are still one of the mandatory menus in daily consumption. Quoting from the Central Agency on Statistics, the average per capita expenditure a month for vegetable consumption tends to increase every year. The peak occurred in March 2021 with a per capita expenditure of IDR 53,864 per month. By analyzing data on per capita expenditure according to the type of vegetables in West Java Province in 2021 using the cluster analysis method, it is hoped that it can help optimize plantation yields so that the quality of vegetables in West Java Province is better. If every region in Indonesia can optimize the quality of vegetables, it is expected that the consumption interest of the Indonesian people will also increase and the country's per capita income from vegetable commodities will also increase.
