Abstract

Food security remains a critical development challenge, particularly in regions facing complex environmental, socio-economic, and geographical constraints. This study aims to analyze the development of food security and examine the determinants influencing the Food Security Index (IKP) in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, during the 2018–2023 period. The analysis uses balanced panel data from 17 districts/cities, sourced from official publications of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The dependent variable is the Food Security Index (IKP). In contrast, the explanatory variables include the Environmental Quality Index (IKLH), economic growth, population growth, poverty rate, rice productivity, and the proportion of coastal villages/subdistricts. Descriptive analysis and panel data regression were employed, with the Random Effect Model (REM) selected as the best estimation approach based on the Lagrange Multiplier test. The results indicate that the average IKP in Southeast Sulawesi increased over the study period, reflecting overall improvement in food security, although substantial disparities across districts persist. Regression results indicate that population growth, poverty, and coastal geographic characteristics have adverse, significant effects on food security, while rice productivity has a positive, significant impact. In contrast, environmental quality and economic growth do not exhibit statistically significant effects on the IKP during the study period. The model explains 27.57% of the variation in regional food security, highlighting the importance of demographic, socio-economic, productivity, and geographical factors. These findings suggest that improving food security in Southeast Sulawesi requires integrated policies that prioritize poverty reduction, population pressure management, enhancement of staple food productivity, and context-specific strategies for coastal areas, supported by inclusive and sustainable development approaches. This study contributes to the multidimensional interaction of factors shaping food security at the regional level.

Abstract

This study evaluates the financial feasibility and sensitivity of organic rice farming under the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Although previous studies have documented the economic performance of organic and SRI-based rice systems, integrated evidence combining profitability, break-even thresholds, and sensitivity analyses within specific agroecological contexts, particularly in eastern Indonesia, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by providing a context-sensitive financial assessment that emphasizes both efficiency and economic resilience. Farm-level cost income analysis, the Revenue Cost (R/C) ratio, the Break-Even Point (BEP), the Return on Investment (ROI), and sensitivity analysis were applied. The results show that the total production costs of IDR9.681.021 per hectare generated revenues of IDR38.214.300 per hectare, yielding a net income of IDR28.533.279 per hectare. The R/C ratio of 2.94 and ROI of 294.73% indicate strong financial performance; however, these values should be interpreted cautiously as location-specific outcomes rather than generalized benchmarks. BEP analysis reveals that actual production and market prices substantially exceed break-even levels, providing a considerable safety margin. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the farming system remains financially viable under moderate shocks, including price declines or cost increases of up to 20%. This study contributes by highlighting SRI-based organic rice farming as a mechanism for enhancing farm-level economic resilience through cost efficiency. Nevertheless, the single-location case study design limits broader generalization, suggesting the need for multi-region and longitudinal analyses in future research.
