Abstract

In the past two years, market information and the distribution of agricultural products have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited the distribution of information and the movement of agricultural products. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to non-competitive behavior among intermediary traders, especially those operating in concentrated markets. This research aims to analyze the price volatility of horticulture commodity during the pandemic in East Java, Indonesia. The research data was collected through the official website of the Information System for Availability and Price Development of Basic Necessities in East Java (SISKAPERBAPO). The method used to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on horticultural agricultural product prices is ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic) and GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity). The volatility results show that the prices of chili and shallots often fluctuate with high and unpredictable variations. However, the fluctuations in the prices of these two commodities are not due to a lack of supply or high demand, but rather due to the characteristics of these commodities, which are perishable and highly dependent on the season of production. The lower the quality, the lower the price will be. The price of shallots is relatively stable compared to chili due to its longer shelf life and less depreciation. The constraint faced by farmers of these two commodities during harvest time is the lack of storage facilities to store their harvest, forcing them to sell all their produce to middlemen or traders, which is one of the causes of the fluctuation of commodity prices.

Abstract

The low adoption of smart farming technology among farmers, despite the availability of tools in Kanigoro Village, Pagelaran Subdistrict, is the main issue addressed in this study. Technologies such as the Smart Soil Sensor and Bird Control Sound System have not been optimally utilized, even though they can improve agricultural efficiency and productivity. This study aims to analyze the influence of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on farmers’ intention to adopt smart farming technology, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. The research employed a quantitative approach involving 100 rice farmers, with data collected through structured questionnaires and direct interviews. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the help of WarpPLS 7.0 software. The results show that all three independent variables-attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control-have a positive and significant effect on farmers’ intention. Among these, perceived behavioral control has the most dominant influence, followed by subjective norm and attitude. These findings suggest that beyond building positive attitudes, it is essential to strengthen social support and increase farmers' confidence in their ability and access to technology to enhance the adoption of smart farming practices.
