Abstract

Maize productivity in Palolo District only reaches 4.8 tons/ha, far below the national average.  Suboptimal cultivation techniques, limited access to superior seeds, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides that are not in accordance with the recommendations. Farmers' limited knowledge of modern agricultural practices and lack of access to technology and training also affect production yields. A synergistic agribusiness system ensures integration between the upstream and downstream sectors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the success of the maize agribusiness system and formulate a strategy for the development of the maize agribusiness system. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The analysis method uses agribusiness index, SWOT analysis and AHP. As a result of the calculation of the agribusiness system index, the value obtained is 11.4 from the maximum value of 17.4 or 65.5%.  It shows that the maize agribusiness system is running well, in a good value interval (8.71-17.40). As a result of the SWOT and AHP analysis, there are four main strategies for the development of maize agribusiness: Improving farmers' skills through training and mentoring the latest agricultural technology (weight 0.225), optimizing land use and maximizing production (weight 0.219), increasing maize productivity with active extension and technological innovation (weight 0.137), increasing productivity and availability of facilities through the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices and environmentally friendly technology (weight 0.106).

Abstract

Background: Maize farming productivity in rural areas still faces several challenges, particularly the low adoption of agricultural innovations, limited effectiveness of extension services, and the suboptimal role of farmer groups. For smallholder farmers, understanding the factors that encourage the adoption of innovations is essential to improve production outcomes. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of agricultural innovations and their impact on maize farming productivity in Bobo Village, Palolo District, Sigi Regency.Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach using primary and secondary data obtained through a survey of 100 corn farmers. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationships among the variables: access to extension services, participation in farmers’ groups, ease of innovation, adoption rate, and productivity. Results and Discussion: The results show that is not sufficient by only providing information or technology, but must be followed by the actual adoption of innovations by farmers. The adoption of innovations acts as a key link between extension services, ease of technology, and farmer group participation with production outcomes. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of improving the quality of extension services, strengthening farmer groups, and providing innovations that are easy to implement, in order to support sustainable increases in agricultural productivity.
