sector (X3) are considered constant. Vaiabel independent of the processing industry sector has a
significant influence (0.000 < 0.05).
3. The coefficient of the construction sector (X3) is 0.159
That is, if the construction sector variable increases by 1 unit, the poverty rate in North Padang Lawas
Regency will increase by 0.159 units and vice versa assuming that the independent variable of the
agriculture, forestry, and livestock sector (X1) and the variable of the processing industry sector (X3) is
considered constant. Construction sector variables have no significant influence (0.625 > 0.05).
The results of the influence of independent variables in the agriculture, livestock, and forestry sectors
(X1) have a significant and positive effect. This explains that the agriculture, livestock, forestry, and
fisheries sectors are partially able to affect the poverty rate in North Padang Lawas District. This is in line
with the results of research by Koko Firmansyah (2020) that the main sub-sector of the potential sector in
Jambi Province (plantation sub-sector) has a positive and significant effect on the poverty rate in Jambi

The result of the influence of the independent variable of the processing industry sector (X2) has a
significant positive influence. This is also in line with the results of research by Amran, Vakie, and Een

significant effect on poverty in North Minahasa Regency.
The results of the influence of the construction variable (X3) had an insignificant positive influence
on the poverty rate in North Padang Lawas District. This is in line with the results of Selly Trianita's

rate in Medan City.
