Abstract

Insurance literacy plays a crucial role in expanding farmers' access to insurance. Lack of understanding of insurance products and inability to process information prevent farmers from making the right decisions, which leads to low levels of insurance participation. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of farmers towards insurance and examine the factors that influence farmers' insurance literacy. Data were collected directly from 94 farmer households in four sub-districts in Aceh Besar Regency. This study measured farmers' insurance literacy using a questionnaire and then conducted a regression analysis using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method on variables suspected of influencing insurance literacy. The results of this study indicate that farmers' insurance literacy is sufficient literate. Variables such as gender, age, education level, and main occupation significantly affect farmers' understanding of insurance. The average scores of farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards insurance were 42.23, 71.36, and 46.28, respectively. Education has a significant impact on farmers' knowledge of insurance. This study suggests that the government and other stakeholders can carry out promotional activities, socialization and training periodically to increase insurance knowledge and awareness.

Abstract

Kenaikan harga pupuk kimia dalam beberapa tahun terakhir telah menimbulkan kesulitan bagi petani dalam mempertahankan produktivitas pertanian. Kondisi ini juga dialami oleh petani di Desa Langung, Kecamatan Meurebo, Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Di sisi lain, limbah pertanian seperti sekam padi, jerami padi, sisa tanaman jagung, serta gulma air berupa eceng gondok tersedia dalam jumlah melimpah namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kelompok tani dalam mengolah limbah pertanian dan eceng gondok menjadi pupuk kompos organik yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan kesuburan tanah serta mengurangi ketergantungan pada pupuk kimia. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini meliputi penyuluhan, demonstrasi praktik pembuatan kompos, serta pelatihan langsung kepada kelompok tani. Peserta dilibatkan secara aktif dalam proses pencacahan bahan, pencampuran bahan kompos, serta pengadukan selama proses dekomposisi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta mampu memahami proses pembuatan kompos dan berhasil mempraktikkannya secara mandiri menggunakan bahan-bahan lokal yang tersedia di lingkungan sekitar. Selain itu, peserta juga menyatakan kesiapan untuk memanfaatkan kompos tersebut dalam kegiatan pertanian mereka. Kegiatan ini memberikan dampak positif berupa peningkatan pengetahuan, keterampilan, serta kesadaran petani terhadap pentingnya pemanfaatan limbah pertanian secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) “Cempaka” di Desa Langung, Kecamatan Meureubo, Aceh Barat, dengan memperkenalkan budidaya jamur tiram (Pleurotus ostreatus) sebagai mata pencaharian alternatif. Program ini diinisiasi untuk mengatasi keterbatasan peluang pendapatan perempuan pedesaan dan untuk meningkatkan gizi rumah tangga melalui kegiatan agribisnis skala kecil yang produktif. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi kepada masyarakat dengan meningkatkan kapasitas perempuan dalam agribisnis, meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga, meningkatkan kesadaran gizi, dan memperkuat manajemen kelompok lokal. Proyek ini juga menyediakan model pemberdayaan ekonomi pedesaan melalui budidaya jamur berkelanjutan dan inovasi produk bernilai tambah. Program ini menggunakan metode pelatihan partisipatif dan pendampingan. Kegiatan meliputi pelatihan teknis tentang budidaya jamur—mulai dari persiapan baglog, sterilisasi, inokulasi, dan inkubasi hingga panen—dan lokakarya tentang pengolahan produk (jamur goreng dan mie jamur), pembukuan, dan pemasaran. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan keterampilan dan pengetahuan peserta dalam budidaya jamur dan pengolahan pasca panen. Kedua kelompok menghasilkan baglog berkualitas dan mencapai panen teratur, menghasilkan sekitar 3 kg jamur per hari dari 1.000 baglog. Kapasitas administratif dan manajerial kelompok juga meningkat, yang mengarah pada organisasi dan keterlibatan pasar yang lebih baik.Kegiatan pemberdayaan memenuhi tujuan awal dengan mendorong partisipasi ekonomi perempuan, meningkatkan gizi keluarga melalui konsumsi jamur, dan mengembangkan praktik agribisnis berbasis komunitas yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

The Cempaka Women's Farmers Group (KWT Cempaka) in Langung Village, Meurebo District, West Aceh Regency, has used water hyacinth as raw material for making organic compost which has quite large economic and environmental potential. However, compost products still face challenges in marketing, especially regarding product identity, packaging design and branding strategies that have not been developed optimally. This community service program aims to increase the marketing capacity of water hyacinth compost products through branding and product packaging training. The methods used include education, participatory training, logo design workshops, assistance with product label design, and the introduction of attractive and informative packaging techniques. This program was implemented with KWT Cempaka members as the main participants. The results show an increase in participants' understanding of the importance of branding in product marketing, increased ability to develop brand identity, and the creation of more attractive logo and packaging designs with higher market value. Through this program, the water hyacinth compost products produced by KWT Cempaka have the opportunity for greater market acceptance and increased competitiveness, thus supporting the sustainable development of group business activities. However, at this stage KWT. Cempaka is still marketing it in simple rice jute packaging and in the future it will use more attractive packaging.

Abstract

Patchouli farming is an important source of rural income in West Aceh. However, farmers still faceunstable earnings due to differences in cultivated land area, selling price, production costs, and production volume. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the income of patchouli farmers in the West Woyla and Woyla Districts of West Aceh Regency. A quantitative field-study approach was used. Primary data were collected through observation, interviews, and structured questionnaires involving 27 patchouli farmers selected using saturated sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, with farmer income as the dependent variable and land area, selling price, farming cost, production volume, farming experience, and education as independent variables. The results showed that the regression model explained 87.9% of the variation in farmer income. Simultaneously, the six independent variables significantly affected income (F = 32.595; p = 0.000). Partially, land area, selling price, and production volume had positive and significant effects on income, whereas farming cost had a negative and significant effect. Farming experience and education did not significantly affect income. These findings indicate that increasing patchouli farmers' income should prioritize productive land use, production improvements, cost efficiency, and stronger price management, rather than relying solely on farming experience or formal education.

It is concluded that the Manggeng Peanut business at UD. Manggeng Food is not only financially viable but also has a resilient financial foundation and profitable prospects for further development, despite the volatility of raw materials.

Abstract

Patchouli farming is an important smallholder activity in South Aceh, but its profitability is vulnerable to price volatility, traditional cultivation practices, and high labor requirements. This study aimed to analyze the income, economic feasibility, and break-even point of patchouli farming in Pasie Raja District, South Aceh Regency. The research site was selected purposively because Pasie Raja is one of the patchouli-producing areas in South Aceh. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied using census data from 37 active patchouli farmers in five villages: Pucok Krueng, Ladang Teungoh, Panton Bili, Ladang Tuha, and Rambong. Primary data were collected through field observation, structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained from relevant institutions and literature. The data were analyzed using total cost, total revenue, farm income, revenue-cost ratio, break-even production, and break-even price. The results showed that the average total production cost was IDR 8,412,694 per planting season, while average revenue reached IDR 15,315,237. The average farm income was IDR 7,578,294 per planting season. The revenue-cost ratio was 1.82, indicating that patchouli farming was financially feasible. The break-even production was 14.752 kg, below the actual average production of 26 kg, and the break-even price was IDR 317,535/kg, below the observed average selling price of IDR 570,270/kg. These findings suggest that patchouli farming in Pasie Raja remains profitable under current production and price conditions. However, its sustainability requires improved production efficiency, better distillation performance, stronger market access, and risk management against price volatility.
