Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the extent of social change, adaptation strategies, and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies among oil palm farmers, as well as to examine the influence of social change on adaptation strategies and its impact on the effectiveness of farmers’ adaptation strategies in Pondok Kelapa Subdistrict, Central Bengkulu Regency. Methodology : This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method on oil palm farmers as research respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method to test the influence between social change, adaptation strategies, and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies. Results: The results of the study indicate that social change has a significant impact on the adaptation strategies of oil palm farmers. The adaptation strategies employed by farmers were also found to have a significant impact on the effectiveness of these strategies, whereas the direct impact of social change on the effectiveness of adaptation strategies was not significant. Findings: This finding indicates that the higher the adaptation strategies implemented by farmers, the higher the effectiveness of adaptation strategies achieved in maintaining the sustainability of oil palm farming amid the dynamics of social change. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its examination of the role of adaptation strategies as a mediating variable in the relationship between social change and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies among oil palm farmers, using the SEM-PLS approach. Originality: The originality of this study lies in its research subjects and location palm oil farmers in Pondok Kelapa Subdistrict, Central Bengkulu Regency as well as in its focus on the effectiveness of farmers’ adaptation strategies in coping with social change. Conclusion : Farmers’ ability to respond to social changes through appropriate adaptation strategies is a key factor in enhancing the effectiveness of adaptation and the sustainability of oil palm farming. Type of Paper : Research article.

Abstract

Farmers' perceptions of oil palm farming risks are influenced by various socioeconomic characteristics that determine how they assess and respond to business uncertainty amidst commodity price fluctuations. This study aims to analyze farmers' perceptions of oil palm farming risks and identify socioeconomic factors that influence these perceptions. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods and multinomial logistic regression. The results showed that perceptions of production risks were dominated by the moderate category with an average score of 30.3, reflecting farmers' relative ability to manage production disruptions because oil palm, as an annual crop, has a stable production pattern. Perceptions of price risks were dominated by the high category with an average score of 22.2, indicating that fluctuations in FFB prices are the most dominant threat due to farmers' position as price takers who lack bargaining power over CPO price dynamics in the global market. Perception of income risk is dominated by the moderate category with an average score of 43.8, reflecting that although farmers feel significant income pressure, they still possess a certain adaptability to maintain household economic stability. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that land area, primary source of income, access to credit or capital, and age are factors that significantly influence farmers' risk perception. Income diversification outside of oil palm has been shown to reduce farmers' sensitivity to farming risks, while larger land holdings, involvement in financing, and older age actually increase farmers' awareness of risk.
