Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of farmer groups in increasing the income of tomato farmers before and after joining such groups. The research was conducted using a descriptive research method in Padende Village, Marawola District. The findings indicate that the involvement of MBKM students as village facilitators has positively impacted tomato farmers by providing targeted training. This training enabled the farmers to maximize production and sell their tomatoes directly in the primary market. The role of farmer groups in improving income is considered significant, as the tomato farmers in Padende Village are part of a combined farmer group. This group receives support from the village government, particularly in seed assistance. As a result, tomato farmers' income increased notably, reaching IDR 3,500,000 in 2023 from managing 1 hectare of land.

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors that drive farmers to shift from cultivating lowland rice to corn in Lembantongoa Village, Palolo District, Sigi Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, with proportional random sampling. Analysis was conducted using frequency distribution tables. Findings reveal that the shift was mainly due to declining rice productivity, which reduced farmer income. Corn was chosen as an alternative because of its shorter harvesting period and higher economic value. Data from 2015 to 2022 show a 4.6% decrease in rice planting area and an 11.2% increase in corn. These economic and environmental factors have influenced the village farmers' transition.
