Abstract

This study investigated the social structure, actor relations, and challenges in the development of the coconut coir industry in Indragiri Hilir Regency, one of Indonesia’s largest coconut-producing regions. Despite abundant raw materials, the downstream coconut coir sector remains underdeveloped and characterized by structural inequalities. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving key actors, including farmers, collectors, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and government institutions. The findings revealed a hierarchical social structure and pronounced power asymmetries within the production chain. Farmers occupy subordinate positions due to limited capital, technology, and market information, functioning as price takers with minimal access to added value. Large collectors dominate pricing, distribution, and access to markets, creating a local oligopsonistic structure. Patron–client relations further reinforce economic dependency, limiting farmers’ autonomy to engage with alternative markets. Additionally, institutional weaknesses, fragmented government policies, rudimentary processing technologies, and insufficient logistics infrastructure hinder the development of a more inclusive and competitive value chain. The study highlights that social, economic, and institutional factors jointly shape structural barriers, underscoring the need for coordinated interventions to strengthen farmer agency, institutional capacity, and equitable value distribution.

Abstract

Indragiri Hilir Regency, one of Indonesia’s major coconut-producing regions, faces a structural paradox in which high production volumes have not translated into improved farmer welfare. Dependence on the sale of whole coconuts with low added value, coupled with significant price fluctuations, has led to inefficiencies in the commodity’s economic supply chain. Coconut husk, which has long been neglected and treated as waste, in fact holds substantial economic potential through the development of derivative products. This study aims to analyze the feasibility and formulate effective strategies for developing the coconut husk processing industry in Indragiri Hilir Regency. A qualitative approach was employed using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, focusing on the BUMDes Sungai Piyat enterprise group as a case study. The analysis reveals that the coconut husk processing enterprise in Kuala Indragiri District possesses strong and promising internal conditions, with an IFAS score of 2.73 and a strength–weakness differential of 1.91. The main strengths include the abundance of derivative products (coco peat and cocobristle), ease of production processes, and the use of semi-modern technology that enhances efficiency. Meanwhile, the EFAS score of 2.32, with an opportunity–threat differential of 1.48, indicates substantial external support, particularly due to limited competition, sustainable raw material supply, a growing regional economy, and institutional backing. The combination of these scores places the enterprise in Quadrant V (Grow and Build Strategy) of the Internal–External (IE) Matrix, recommending the adoption of an aggressive growth strategy. Key strategic directions include increasing production capacity, expanding market networks, strengthening institutional partnerships, and diversifying value-added products to promote sustainability and enhance contributions to the local economy and the empowerment of coastal communities in Indragiri Hilir.

Abstract

Regeneration of human resources in agriculture by younger farmers who are living with social media, called digital humanities, is one of the steps of its sustainability. This research aims to analyse regeneration of agricultural human resources model in Rumbai District of Pekanbaru City. The research used a survey method where 60 young farmers were taken as the samples. The data were analysed using SEM-PLS. The research results show that the use of social media provides easy access to information, increases knowledge and shares experiences related to the agricultural sector which is supported by the role of parents in forming perceptions and the interest of the younger generation in agriculture to work in the agriculture. The use of social media toward perception on agriculture and the use of social media on the attitudes of the younger generation towards the agriculture, are directly significant. On the other hand, a significant indirect influence is the use of social media on the interest of the younger generation in working in the agriculture through the mediator variable of the attitude of the younger generation towards the agriculture.
