Abstract

This study aims to: 1) Identify the characteristics of members of the "Embun Pagi" farmer group in Bedono Kluwung Village, Kemiri District, Purworejo Regency; and 2) Determine the role of the "Embun Pagi" farmer group in increasing red chili productivity in Bedono Kluwung Village, Kemiri District, Purworejo Regency. The study employs a descriptive analysis method utilizing questionnaires and interviews. A census sampling technique was used, encompassing the entire population of 35 respondents. The analysis methods applied include class intervals and the Likert scale. The results indicate that the red chili farmers fall within the 46–59 age range, placing them in the productive age category. The farmers' educational level is generally low, though they actively participate in training. They possess extensive farming experience, exceeding 30 years. The land area utilized is relatively small, at less than 0.5 hectares. The most common form of land tenure is owner-cultivation, involving 25 farmers. Red chili production per growing season is less than 350 kg, with a productivity rate ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/ha. The role of farmer groups in boosting red chili productivity scores an average of 27.49—classified as quite high indicating that these groups have effectively contributed to increasing productivity; however, they have not yet succeeded in changing the respondent farmers' attitudes toward their farming practices.
