Abstract

Smallholder farmers require substantial quantities of fertilizer; however, they often fail to optimally utilize the abundant local resources available in their environment, such as livestock manure and agricultural waste. This study aims to analyze fertilizer-related challenges faced by smallholder farmers and provide strategic recommendations to enhance self-sufficiency and improve their economic welfare. A questionnaire regarding the use of organic fertilizer was distributed to members of the Bangsring Sejahtera Farmer Group in Banyuwangi. Survey results indicated that all members had heard of organic fertilizer, yet only 20% were familiar with its production process. Furthermore, the majority (80%) of respondents owned livestock and cultivated agricultural land, suggesting a significant availability of unprocessed raw materials for fertilizer production. An organic fertilizer training program was conducted, incorporating pre-test and post-test assessments. The Wilcoxon test revealed a statistically significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge, with a median score increase from 5 (pre-test) to 7 (post-test). The utilization of livestock and agricultural waste—comprising 50% goat/sheep manure, 25% cattle manure, 10% poultry manure, and 15% agricultural residues (coconut husks, rice husks, straw)—resulted in high-quality fertilizer. Training on the use of manure shredders, fertilizer sieves, and branded packaging enhanced production efficiency, improved fertilizer quality, and increased market value. The selling price of fertilizer rose from IDR 800/kg (without modern processing) to IDR 3.300/kg following proper grinding, sieving, and packaging. This directly contributed to increased income for the farmer group.

Abstract

Smallholder sheep farmers play a pivotal role in meeting the national demand for animal protein. Enhancing farmers’ capacity in modern feed processing methods directly contributes to improving both the quality and quantity of sheep production. This study introduces the concept of a livelihood-improvement economy model through the implementation of silage fermentation techniques within farmer groups in Sumberarum Village, Songgon District, Banyuwangi. A structured questionnaire was administered to assess farmers’ understanding of silage processing and to collect demographic data. Subsequently, knowledge transfer activities were conducted and evaluated using pre- and post-test analysis with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. To date, no prior studies have examined the introduction of silage feed among smallholder farmers in Songgon District. The demographic profile of the farmer group was predominantly composed of junior high school graduates (53.3%), with the majority engaged in farming and livestock rearing as their primary occupation (66.7%). Most respondents were aged between 31–40 years (40%). Initial knowledge regarding silage production and the use of processing equipment was extremely limited (0%). The knowledge transfer process was successfully implemented, as evidenced by a significant improvement in farmers’ understanding based on the Wilcoxon test results. The adoption of silage has proven to facilitate sheep management practices and is highly compatible with the local characteristics of Sumberarum Village, where forest fodder is abundantly available as a free raw material for silage production.
