Abstract

Program Studi Agribisnis di Universitas Terbuka, dibentuk dengan tujuan untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten di bidang penyuluhan dan komunikasi agribisnis. Salah satu cara untuk mencapai tujuan ini adalah menyusun sebuah kurikulum yang mendorong terbentuknya hard skill dan soft skill lulusan yang relevan dengan tuntutan kompetensi program studi. Hard skill yang akan dimiliki lulusan merupakan aplikasi materi, metode serta evaluasi penyuluhan berbasis agribisnis yang nantinya akan diterapkan di lapangan, yang ditujukan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan sasarannya. Sementara softskill yang perlu dikuasai lulusan meliputi kemampuan-kamampuan berkomunikasi, bekerjasama dalam tim, kepemimpinan, dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Program Studi Agribisnis mengakomodasi pencapaian kompetensi tersebut dengan memasukkan beberapa mata kuliah berpraktikum di dalam kurikulumnya. Hal-hal yang dikaji dalam tulisan ini meliputi perbandingan pengelolaan penyelenggaraan praktikum antara program Penyuluhan Pertanian dan Agribisnis, termasuk kekuatan dan kelemahan masing-masing, berbagai kendala yang terjadi, serta peluang-peluang yang dapat diambil untuk memperbaiki penyelenggaraan praktikum. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan penyelenggaraan praktikum PS Agribisnis pada prinsipnya masih mengadopsi dari pengelolaan penyelenggaraan praktikum yang digunakan Program Studi D3 Penyuluhan Pertanian, dengan keterbatasan-keterbatasan yang ada. Satu hal yang perlu diupayakan ke depannya adalah terbentuknya panduan praktikum yang jelas, serta pembinaan kerja sama dengan instansi lain guna meningkatkan kualitas penyelenggaraan praktikum. The Agribusiness Study Program at Universitas Terbuka, the Indonesian Open University, was created with the goal of producing graduates who are competent in the field of extension and communication of agribusiness. One way to achieve this goal is to create a curriculum that develops competencies in both hard and soft skills that are relevant to the professional demands of graduates. Hard skills to be acquired include the application of methods and skills of agricultural extension that will be applied in the field. Soft skills include competencies such as the ability to communicate, work in teams, leadership, and problem-solving. The Agribusiness Study program allows graduates to acquire key competencies by incorporating some practical courses in its curriculum. This presentation will describe the comparison of practical implementation of the Management between an Agricultural Extension Study Program and the Agribusiness Study Program. The topics discussed in this presentation will address the implementation of practical management skills in the Agricultural Extension and Agribusiness Study Programs, including strengths and weaknesses, various obstacles, and how the obstacles were overcome. The result of study shows that the managing of the practical implementation of PS Agribusiness basicly can be done independently as long as the equipments can be provided as the need in field.

Abstract

Harga BBM khususnya solar yang mendapat subsidi pemerintah dan solar industri mengalami kenaikan. Data tahun 2022 menunjukkan rantai pasokan akan terpengaruh oleh kenaikan biaya perbekalan sehingga banyak kapal yang tidak melaut. Akibatnya, dengan ekspedisi penangkapan ikan yang lebih sedikit, nelayan harus meminimalisir biaya perbekalan dan memaksimalkan keuntungan. Sebagian besar pemilik kapal belum mendapatkan keuntungan dari investasi mereka dalam periode 2-8 tahun pasca-penangkapan. Arus kas bersih, yang merupakan selisih antara arus kas masuk dan arus kas keluar, negatif selama periode waktu ini, membuat investasi tidak layak pada saat ini. Dampak Akibat langsung dari wabah Covid-19, pendapatan harian nelayan turun. Persentase penurunan pendapatan nelayan berkisar 40 sampai 50 persen setiap hari. Hal ini terutama disebabkan oleh harga ikan di daerah tertentu yang bisa turun hingga 50 persen. Investasi yang cukup representatif untuk sampel kapal nelayan yang ditangkap di Muara Angke yang telah berjalan selama 2-8 tahun terakhir tidak layak untuk selanjutnya karena arus kas bersih masih lebih rendah dari nol, dan tingkat pengembalian di bawah tingkat suku bunga yang ditetapkan yaitu sebesar 12%.
