Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing farmers’ decisions to convert rubber plantations into oil palm plantations in Sungai Gelam Subdistrict, Muaro Jambi Regency. The issue arises due to the declining productivity and fluctuating price of rubber, while oil palm cultivation offers higher and more stable economic returns. The study used a survey method with a quantitative approach employing binary logistic regression analysis. A total of 85 farmer respondents were purposively selected. The variables analyzed include farming experience, product price, land ownership size, other income sources, pests and diseases, labor costs, and tapping frequency. The results showed that price, land ownership size, and tapping frequency significantly affected farmers’ decisions to convert rubber to oil palm, while the other variables were not significant. The Nagelkerke R² value of 0.76 indicates that 76% of the variation in conversion decisions is explained by the independent variables. Economic considerations are the main factor influencing conversion, as oil palm farming is perceived as more profitable, efficient, and stable compared to rubber farming.

Abstract

Potato farming in Kayu Aro Barat District, Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, is a major agricultural commodity with significant potential, but its productivity has not yet reached optimal levels. Factors influencing potato production include inefficient input usage, seed quality, and reliance on costly production inputs. This study aims to analyze the technical efficiency in potato farming and the farmers' preferences in managing production risks. The research employs a quantitative approach with descriptive and analytical methods, collecting data through interviews, observations, and questionnaires from farmers in Kayu Aro Barat District. The results show that seeds, fertilizer, and labor significantly affect potato production, while land area and pesticides have no significant statistical impact. Additionally, most farmers exhibit a "risk taker" preference, indicating their willingness to take risks in using production inputs to achieve higher yields. This study provides recommendations to enhance production efficiency by improving input utilization, intensifying extension services, and strengthening farmers' managerial capacity to achieve more optimal productivity.

Abstract

Rice farming productivity in Kupang Regency remains relatively low and is influenced by social, economic, and institutional factors. This study aims to analyze the effects of farmers’ social and economic characteristics on institutional access, production input use, and rice farming performance using a Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The research was conducted in Central Kupang District with a sample of 75 rice farmers selected through simple random sampling from three purposively chosen villages. Primary data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results show that social factors significantly affect production input use and farm performance but do not significantly influence institutional access. Economic factors have a significant effect on production input use and farm performance, while their direct effect on institutional access is not significant. Institutional access significantly affects production input use but has a negative direct effect on farm performance. Production input use is confirmed as the main mediating variable transmitting the effects of social, economic, and institutional factors on farm performance. The structural model demonstrates strong explanatory power with an R² value of 0.856. These findings indicate that improving rice productivity cannot rely solely on strengthening institutional access, but must be accompanied by the effective and efficient use of production inputs. Policy implications emphasize the importance of enhancing farmers’ economic capacity and optimizing input utilization as key strategies to improve rice farming productivity in Kupang Regency.

Abstract

Independent plantations are a favorite in the Jambi Regional economy, as they are a source of economic growth, employment, exports, and foreign exchange for the region. Despite their relatively low productivity, oil palm plantations in Jambi Province have a major competitive advantage compared to other commodities. This study aims to describe, analyze competitiveness, analyze policy impacts, and conduct sensitivity tests on independent oil palm plantations. The research location was in Merlung District, selecting three sample villages: Tanjung Paku Village, Merlung Village, and Lubuk Terap Village purposively, with a total sample of 43 farmers. The data analysis method used the (PAM) method. The results of the analysis show that independent farmers still have relatively low productivity. The DRCR value is 0.379 (<1) and the PCR value is 0.368 (<1) which indicates savings in the use of domestic resources by 37.9% and 36.8%. These results indicate a comparative and competitive advantage. The divergence impact shows a negative impact, meaning that government policies are not distorted properly, as indicated by an NPCI value of 1.18 (> 1) and an NPCO value of 0.87 (< 1). Sensitivity tests show that independent oil palm plantations still have competitiveness (< 1), despite experiencing policy distortions such as input price increases (11% and 25%) and a decrease in FFB prices (45%).

Abstract

This study analyses the implementation of the Production Information System (PRODIS) in improving the effectiveness of reporting on-farm sugarcane cultivation activities at the Kwala Madu MKSO plantation of PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara. Effectiveness is measured in terms of time, accuracy, consistency and uniformity of data before and after the implementation of the system. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analysed using a descriptive approach and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results show that PRODIS significantly speeds up reporting, improves data accuracy, and maintains consistency of information between work units. The digitisation of reporting enables more integrated data management and supports more effective managerial decision-making. These findings confirm the important role of digital information systems in improving the effectiveness of on-farm activity reporting at the plantation level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the profit function of rice farming in Tanah Sepenggal District, Bungo Regency. Specifically, this study (1) describes the characteristics of rice farming, (2) calculates the amount of profit earned by farmers, and (3) identifies the factors that influence the level of profit. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method approach using primary data collected from rice farmers through structured interviews in June- July 2025. Farm profit was calculated as the difference between total revenue and total cost, while the Cobb–Douglas profit function Unit Output Price (UOP) to examine the effect of seed cost, urea fertilizer cost, NPK fertilizer cost, pesticide cost, labor cost, and land rent. The results indicate that seed, pesticide, labor, and land rent costs significantly affect farm profit, whereas urea and NPK fertilizer costs do not. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.987 indicates that the model explains 98.7% of the variation in profit.

Abstract

. This study aims to (1) describe the marketing channels of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm under partnership and independent (self-managed) schemes in Merlung District, Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency; (2) analyze marketing margins, farmer’s share, and marketing efficiency for each scheme; and (3) compare differences in marketing margins and farmer’s share between single-level marketing channels in both business schemes. The research was conducted in 2025 using a survey method with simple random sampling techniques. The data used consisted of primary data obtained through direct interviews with farmers and marketing institutions, as well as secondary data from relevant agencies. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer’s share, marketing efficiency analysis, and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results show that there are two types of marketing channel patterns, namely single-level and two-level channels. The single-level marketing channel has lower marketing margins, higher farmer’s share, and better marketing efficiency. In addition, there are significant differences between single-level marketing channels in both business schemes. These findings imply that shorter marketing channels are more efficient and provide a greater share of the selling price to smallholder oil palm farmers
