Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the productivity, income, and risk-taking behaviors of organic and non-organic rice farmers in Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra Province. The study took a descriptive-quantitative approach, surveying 62 rice producers (31 organic and 31 non-organic). The analysis included measures of productivity, income, production, and income risk, as well as a sensitivity analysis to analyze the impact of price and cost changes. The results demonstrate that organic rice productivity (1,924 kg/ha) was lower than non-organic rice (4,668 kg/ha); however, overall net income for organic farming (IDR 32.15 million/ha) was higher than non-organic farming (IDR 27.28 million/ha) due to more stable and higher rice prices. Production and income risks are better managed in organic farming, with lower variation coefficients than in non-organic systems. The sensitivity analysis shows that even with a 20% fall in selling price or a 20% rise in production expenses, organic rice cultivation still earns a profit. Most organic farmers are risk averse, whereas non-organic farmers are more willing to take risks. These data support the claim that organic rice cultivation is more economically viable and environmentally sustainable than conventional systems. Keywords: income, organic rice, risk behavior, sensitivity analysis, sustainability

Abstract

This community service activity aims to strengthen farmers’ capacity to develop an environmentally friendly integrated farming system based on organic rice-fish farming through a Focus Group Discussion approach grounded in global collaboration. The activity was conducted in Tanah Merah Village, Serdang Bedagai District, and involved farmer groups, the local government, academics, and international partners from Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand. The method used was a participatory approach through the stages of problem identification, guided group discussions, technology dissemination, and the formulation of recommendations. The activity results showed an increase in community understanding of the integration of rice and fish farming, as well as the importance of downstream product processing and standardization. The Focus Group Discussion also successfully identified key issues, including limited marketing opportunities, weak farmer institutions, and dependence on chemical inputs. Additionally, international collaboration contributed to the transfer of food production technology and the enhancement of product value.

Abstract

Sexual violence prevention and response in higher education require institutional systems that ensure equitable access for all members of the academic community, including persons with disabilities. Despite the establishment of Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Task Forces (Satgas PPK) in Indonesian universities, evidence on disability-inclusive service models remains limited. This study aimed to identify barriers to accessible support services and develop an inclusive service model for university-based task forces using a participatory approach. A qualitative study was conducted through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving multidisciplinary stakeholders, including task force members, academics, disability advocates, legal aid organizations, government agencies, and an international partner from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five major themes emerged: (1) barriers to accessible reporting and service utilization, (2) strengthening faculty-based peer support, (3) victim-centered and disability-inclusive services, (4) multidisciplinary referral pathways, and (5) institutional governance for sustainable services. The findings highlight the importance of integrating accessible reporting, trained peer supporters, coordinated psychosocial and legal assistance, and institutional policies supported by permanent organizational structures. The proposed Inclusive Service Model emphasizes accessibility, collaboration, and institutional commitment as key elements of sustainable violence prevention and response in higher education, providing practical and policy recommendations for strengthening inclusive governance and protecting persons with disabilities.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the leading global producers of mangosteen, with China absorbing over 70% of its export volume. Despite this, Indonesia’s market share remains limited compared to its competitors, such as Thailand. This study examines the short- and long-term relationships between key macroeconomic variables—mangosteen export price (HEC), export value (NE), Yuan to USD exchange rate (NTC), Rupiah to USD exchange rate (NTI), Indonesia’s real exchange rate (NTR), and export volume (VE)—and the performance of exports to China using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), which is appropriate for examining both long-run equilibrium (cointegration) and short-run dynamics among the macroeconomic variables. The model captures cointegration, causal interactions, impulse responses, and variance decomposition. Findings indicate that, in the long run, NTC, NTI, NTR, and VE have a significant influence on export prices, while no statistically significant short-run causality is observed. Key risks identified include exchange rate volatility, over-reliance on the Chinese market, price fluctuations, high logistics costs, and inconsistent product quality. To mitigate these issues, the study recommends exchange rate stabilization, export market diversification, investment in cold chain logistics, and the adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) with digital traceability systems. The findings support the formulation of evidence-based policies to strengthen the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s horticultural exports.
