Abstract

Farmer groups play an important role in the palm oil industry in terms of access to capital, production facilities, marketing, market information, and learning vehicles. However, the participation of independent smallholders in institutions, especially farmer groups, is still very limited because of the limited knowledge and awareness of farmers about the important role of these institutions. The aim of this research is to formulate an increase in the participation of independent oil palm smallholders in farmer groups in the Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. The research used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods with a SWOT-AHP analysis of 33 experts and ordinary informants from the government, farmer group officials, companies, wholesalers, and farmers. The results show that institutional capacity building was selected as a strategic priority for increasing farmer participation. Three efforts must be made to increase institutional capacity: compiling institutional norms/rules, holding regular meetings, and compiling group administration books. Keywords: farmer group institution, participation, oil palm smallholder

Abstract

Independent oil palm farmers are crucial to the growth of the national economy. However, due to subpar institutional and farmer group performance, independent oil palm farmers' productivity still needs to improve. This research aimed to maximize institutional performance within the frameworks of social exchange theory and resource-based view theory. The study employed structural equation modeling, or SMART-PLS, and quantitative descriptive methodologies to examine 92 farmer group administrators in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. The study's findings illustrate that strategic orientation, culture, and commitment affect institutional/farmer group performance. In maximizing institutional performance, the following was done: 1) planning for environmental conservation by setting clear deadlines and assigning members to consider environmental sustainability and refrain from burning land; 2) communicating with the community and members to foster community harmony; 3) holding online group discussions for members who are unable to attend in order to save time discussing issues collectively; b. imposing strict sanctions for infractions by its members; 4) fostering active dialogues among members and working directly or virtually with instructors regarding oil palm cultivation knowledge. The most recent study aims to develop strategies for enhancing institutional and farmer group performance through strategic orientation, culture, and commitment.
