JAKARTA, TRIBUNNEWSPEKANBARU.com - Menurunya produksi minyak nilam tahun ini menjadi 700-800 ton dari 1.000 ton pada tahun 2009 lalu membikin suplai Indonesia ke pasar global mengerut dan menggiring peningkatan harga. Apalagi, Indonesia mendominasi pasar minyak nilam dunia.

Togar R. Manurung, Ketua Umum Asosiasi Minyak Atsiri Indonesia menjelaskan, tahun 2009 lalu Indonesia bisa mengekspor minyak nilam sebesar 1.000 ton; atau 66,66% dari kebutuhan dunia tahun lalu yang mencapai 1.500 ton. Minyak nilam Indonesia dikapalkan ke Eropa sebanyak 30%, ke AS sebanyak 35%-40% dan sisanya ke beragam negara di dunia.

Tahun ini kebutuhan minyak nilam masih sama dengan tahun lalu. Namun, lantaran pasokan minyak nilam mengerut, harga pun melambung menjadi Rp 500.000 per kg di level pengumpul. Padahal, bulan Agustus 2010 lalu harga minyak nilam masih berkisar Rp 400.000 per kg.

Togar menghitung, kenaikan ini menguntungkan eksportir dan petani. Bila volume produksi minyak nilam terus tergerus, ia memperkirakan harga minyak nilam bisa menyentuh Rp 1 juta per kg pada awal tahun depan.

Hingga saat ini minyak nilam Indonesia belum mampu ditandingi oleh negara-negara lain. Afrika punya peluang untuk menyaingi minyak nilam Indonesia. Namun, Togar menghitung, Afrika membutuhkan 5-6 tahun lagi untuk bisa menyamai Indonesia. “Ada China tapi mutunya kurang, India juga kurang berhasil mengembangkan nilam,” katanya. (*)

Four Work at Home Business Opportunities

There are so many work at home business opportunities right now, that you are bound to find one that will meet your needs and one that you'll enjoy for years to come.

If you are new to the whole home business experience, finding this opportunity may be a challenge. You need to know the ups and downs for each, you must know about scams, and you need to know how to find an opportunity that is right for you and your family. You also will need to know what is out there for you to choose from and how to get started.

Here are a few opportunities for you to consider.

1. Coaching

If you enjoy helping others and giving them advice, coaching is something to consider. This business can be done strictly on the computer via instant messaging and email or you can set phone appointments.

2. Virtual Assistant

Administrative work is something a lot of business owners don't like to do and they outsource a lot of the time. The reason for this is because it's not what makes them money. That's where a VA comes into play. The business owner pays them to do work that doesn't make them money, but needs to be done. Things like article submissions, newsletters, and going through emails are just a few of the tasks a VA can do for a business owner.

3. Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is where you sell someone else's products and you make a commission from those sells. This is an easy way to make money in that you don't have to maintain the website, you don't have to deal with customers, and you don't have to deal with keeping new products coming so your customers and affiliates are happy. Affiliate marketing is tricky in that you have to show people you can be trusted and you have to find places to market that fit the target market.

4. Direct Sales

Direct sales businesses are great because you can market products that you use and believe in. There are hundreds of companies you can choose from, so make sure you choose the one that will work right for you. Direct sales businesses can be run from your home or you can do in home parties and travel to your customer's homes. You choose what fits for you and your family.

There is literally thousands of work at home business opportunities. Deciding which one to try will be the challenge. Make sure you look at everything about the company including their history, their compensation plan, and visit the Better Business Bureau for complaints. Make a decision based on your likes and needs not because you were pressured or because you liked the compensation plan.
