Abstract

Biopharmaceuticals are a type of plant that can be used as medicine. Developing farming for a commodity requires the role of various parties, one of which is agricultural institutions. Agricultural institutions are an important element in agricultural modernization and supporting farming in Trosono Village, which is known as a producer of biopharmaceutical commodities, especially ginger and turmeric. This research aims to determine the system, the role of institutions, and the impact of institutional roles on agriculture in the development of biopharmaceutical farming in Trosono Village. The research used a qualitative descriptive method and the determination of informants was carried out purposively and snowballing with a total of 13 informants consisting of administrators of agribusiness microfinance institutions, farmer group administrators, extension workers, middlemen, farmers and village heads. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis, then data validity was carried out using source triangulation and method triangulation techniques. The results of the research show that Trosono Village has an institutional system for both agricultural input and output, namely the Agribusiness Microfinance Institution, the Association of Farmer Groups, the Agricultural Extension Center and middlemen who work with each other in relation to biopharmaceutical farming. Each institution has a role that is demonstrated in the activities of each institution. However, in terms of institutional conditions in Trosono Village, it is still not optimal in accordance with the existing ideal conditions. The role of institutional activities in developing farming has a social impact on farmers such as improving relations, harmony and economic impacts in the form of easy access to capital, subsidies and marketing, so there has been no improvement in economic conditions. Coordination and assistance between agricultural institutions for biopharmaceutical commodities is needed so that a synergy arises in the implementation of programs and activities in the context of increasing biopharmaceutical commodities.

Abstract

Agriculture is the primary support of a country, especially in rural areas. Klepu Village is a village in the Butuh Sub-district that still relies on agriculture as its main livelihood. However, the majority of farmers are now aged 40 and over. The younger generation tends to be more interested in working in other sectors than agriculture. This study examines and analyzes the perception of youth members of the Setya Bhakti youth organization in Klepu Village towards the farming profession. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Informants were selected using purposive sampling with a total of 16 people consisting of leader and members of the youth organization, and the village head. The research data consists of primary and secondary data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation and validated using method triangulation and source triangulation. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive analysis method by Miles and Huberman. The study results indicate that the informants consider agriculture still viable for sustaining life in the village. Moreover, agriculture is still seen as a profession with good time flexibility, allowing work hours to be adjusted according to needs. Based on the interviews, the youth in Klepu Village are generally less interested in working in the agricultural sector. In the future, the government will pay more attention to the agricultural industry so that young people consider farming a viable livelihood.

Abstract

The development of farming business is inseparable from the existence of effective and efficient farm business management. Farm business management is the ability of farmers to plan, organize, direct, coordinate and supervise the factors of production that are controlled or owned so that they can provide production as expected. The success of farming in the agricultural sector is undeniably largely determined by social capital. This study aims to determine the characteristics of social capital among members of the young farmer group, knowing the development of horticultural businesses contained in members of the young farmer group and analyzing the relationship between social capital and the business development of members of the young farmer group. This research uses quantitative methods. This research was supervised and funded by Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)/Independent Learning-Independent Campus Research, which is located in Berjo Village, Ngargoyoso, Karanganyar. The regional election was carried out deliberately based on information obtained by research supporting data that showed that there were 2 groups of young farmers who had been active in business development in the agricultural sector since 2019. The sampling technique used was a saturated sampling of 27 young farmers. The results showed that cooperation and participation have a significant relationship with business development. Meanwhile, trust and networks have no significant relationship with the development of farming businesses.
