Abstract

This article analyzes consumer perceptions and interest in organic vegetables in Semangat Village, Karo Regency, North Sumatra. Given the growing popularity of organic vegetables grown without synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, this study aims to identify factors influencing consumer purchasing interest. Data were collected through surveys and statistical analysis. Results indicate that while awareness of the benefits of organic vegetables is increasing, consumer purchasing interest remains low, driven by higher prices and a lack of knowledge about their benefits. This study provides insights for producers and marketers to develop effective marketing strategies and encourages increased farmer education on good organic farming practices. Emphasis is also placed on the need for transparency and education to increase consumer trust.

Abstract

This study was designed to reevaluate the adjustment of land suitability classes. This study was conducted in North Sumatra Province, precisely in 4 regencies, namely Simalungun, Langkat, Deli Serdang, and Serdang Bedagai Regencies. The study used land suitability classes. Related to rooting media and nutrient retention parameters, the results of a semi-detailed land suitability study for soybean plants in Deli Serdang, Serdang Bedagai, and Langkat Regencies showed that the land was only marginally suitable (S3 rc, nr). In Simalungun Regency, efforts were made to increase the suitability of potential land to a marginally suitable class with the rooting media factor (S3 rc) and the water availability and nutrient retention factor (S3 wa, nr). This was done by attempting to increase the adaptability of potential land to a marginal suitability class with a water availability factor (S3 wa). The land suitability class in the research area for soybean plants includes the marginal suitability class (S3), so planting soybean commodities results in less than maximum production with limiting factors of rainfall and nutrition retention. To improve nutrient retention by adding organic materials, the limiting factor of rainfall is relatively high by creating drainage channels.

Abstract

Kemajuan bidang pertanian di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan yang terjadi secara signifikan dari masa ke masa. Penggunaan alat pertanian yang tradisional dari masa ke masa mengalami perubahan, dengan seiring berkembangnya zaman dan peningkatan serta perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat. Begitu juga di bidang pertanian dari pada saat petani sudah banyak menerapkan teknologi di bidang alat pertanian, sehingga memudahkan dan membuat kegiatan produksi pertanian menjadi lebih cepat dan efisien. Urgensi Penelitian, Untuk menganalisis dampak positif dan negatif pada penerapan penggunaan teknologi modern petani padi sawah desa Melati II. Metode penelitian dengan deskriptif kualitatif. Jenis dan sumber data yaitu jenis data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa. Dampak positif dan negative terhadap penerapan teknologi adalah sebelum menggunakan teknologi petani padi sawah menggunakan alat pertanian yang tradisonal. Dan setelah menggunakan teknologi para petani padi sawah menggunakan teknologi modern. Dengan perubahan sarana produksi, terjadi banyak perubahan dalam kegiatan pertanian. Sebelum munculnya teknologi modern, pekerjaan para petani dan buruh tani bisa membutuhkan waktu yang tidak singkat, tetapi biaya produksi yang di keluarkan lebih sedikit karena menggunakan tenaga manual. Sedangkan setelah menggunakan teknologi pekerjaan petani lebih muda dan memakan waktu pengerjaan yang singkat. Tetapi petani mengeluarkan biaya produksi lebih dengan menggunakan teknologi modern. Dan kebutuhan untuk tenaga kerja juga berkurang karena sudah digantikan teknologi modern. Dengan begitu di simpulkan bahwa, pentingnya penerapan teknologi, tetapi teknologi maju juga memiliki sisi negatif, karena dengan adanya alat canggih tidak memerlukan banyak tenaga kerja hanya dengan beberapa orang alat tersebut bisa di jalankan. Sedangkan pekerjaan para tenaga kerja akan semakin berkurang. Karena bagian dari pekerjaannya sudah digantikan dengan alat modern.

Abstract

Petani biasanya tidak menangani subsistem pengolahan dan pemasaran, tetapi pedagang atau pebisnis lainnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat seberapa baik sistem manajemen agribisnis cabai merah berfungsi. Studi ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Beringin, yang berada di Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Sebanyak empat puluh responden adalah petani cabai merah yang menjadi subjek penelitian. Data primer dan sekunder digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Informan kunci adalah responden penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan skala peringkat, di mana nilai 0 hingga 66 menunjukkan kinerja kurang baik, 67 hingga 133 menunjukkan kinerja cukup baik, dan 134 hingga 200 menunjukkan kinerja baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem manajemen agribisnis cabai merah cukup baik dengan skor 132,03, dengan skor 0 untuk pengaktualisasian dan 18,03 untuk pengawasan. Sistem manajemen agribisnis di daerah penelitian rata-rata bekerja dengan baik. Kegiatan-Kegiatan penting dalam agribisnis yang belum dilaksanakan dengan baik termasuk merencanakan secara tertulis dan menyeluruh kegiatan usaha tani, menggunakan benih berkualitas tinggi dan bersertifikat, dan melakukan promosi yang luas. Penelitian ini meneliti sistem manajemen agribisnis secara keseluruhan, mulai dari perencanaan, pengorganisasian, pengaktualisasi, dan pengawasan. Menurut penelitian ini, sistem manajemen yang telah digunakan petani cabai merah di Kecamatan Beringin berada pada kategori "Cukup Baik" dalam kinerjanya. Namun, untuk meningkatkan kinerjanya menjadi kategori "Baik", perencanaan usaha tani cabai merah harus dibuat, yang mencakup penggunaan benih yang unggul (bersertifikat) dan pemasaran yang lebih luas.
