Abstract

The community engagement program aims to strengthen the bargaining position of corn farmers in Turen Subdistrict by revitalising a distribution system based on social institutions, particularly farmer cooperatives. The significance of this initiative lies in addressing the inequality in agricultural product distribution, which has long been dominated by middlemen, weakening farmers’ economic power. The approach employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which actively involves farmers in all stages, including problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results show that establishing a participatory-based cooperative not only improves distribution efficiency and price transparency but also fosters social transformation, characterised by increased collective awareness, solidarity, and farmers’ independence in managing the distribution process. These findings reinforce the role of local institutions as a foundation for sustainable economic empowerment and demonstrate that participatory-based interventions are effective in building a fairer and more adaptive distribution system.

Abstract

The program was conducted over a six-month period (Junet–November 2025) using a participatory approach involving 30 members of local farmer groups. The implementation stages included an initial survey, program socialization, electricity-based technology training, field mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The results demonstrated a significant increase in farmers’ knowledge, with an average improvement of 63%, as indicated by an increase in pre-test scores from 50 to 82 in the post-test. Approximately 90% of farmers expressed readiness to adopt the technology, and 27 out of 30 participants were able to operate the electrical equipment independently. From a technical perspective, the use of electric pumps and automated irrigation systems reduced irrigation operational costs by up to 30% and increased rice productivity from 4.8 tons/ha to 5.7 tons/ha. The program also strengthened household food security and improved energy use efficiency. The success of the program was supported by collaboration between PLN as the provider of technical support and Yatim Mandiri Foundation as the social facilitation partner.
