Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how peer social effect (PSE) is associated with smallholder rice farmers' decisions to adopt combine harvester (CH) services in East Java, Indonesia, and tests whether this association is moderated by digital information access, household operational assets, and farmer-group membership — challenging the conventional assumption in diffusion literature that peer exposure uniformly accelerates technology uptake. Design/Methodology/Approach: Cross-sectional survey data from 300 rice farmers are analyzed using an IV-Probit model. Endogenous PSE is instrumented with average PSE per referral and a social diversity index; interaction terms capture the moderating role of digital access, car ownership, and farmer-group membership. Identification and weak-instrument diagnostics support the validity of the IV strategy. Findings: Contrary to conventional diffusion expectations, PSE shows a negative and statistically significant association with CH adoption, suggesting that local peer environments transmit caution and norm-conforming restraint rather than pro-adoption signals. Digital information access is positively associated with adoption and significantly attenuates this negative PSE-adoption association, indicating that online information helps farmers verify and act on peer-derived knowledge. Interaction effects for car ownership and farmer-group membership are positive but statistically non-significant, though farmer-group membership retains a significant direct association with adoption. Distance to CH providers and limited public Wi-Fi proximity jointly constrain adoption, reinforcing digital access as an adoption channel, while participation in Tebas (pre-harvest crop-purchase) arrangements further limits adoption incentives. Originality/Value/Novelty: The study departs from the standard diffusion assumption that peer effects uniformly accelerate technology adoption, showing instead that peer influence can restrain uptake through norm-conforming caution. By identifying digital verification as the mechanism through which this restraint is attenuated, the study links social and digital infrastructure in agricultural mechanization research — a connection largely unaddressed in prior peer-effect and technology-adoption literature — and offers a socially restrain framework for understanding mechanization service-use decisions.

Abstract

This research analyzes the factors that influence farmers' perceptions of the implementation of agricultural corporations in advanced prosperous farmer cooperatives of the Malang district. This study uses binary logistic analysis. The determination of the location is done intentionally considering that the progressive, successful farmer cooperative is a cooperative formed by the government, which has become an experimental agricultural corporation in Purworejo Village, Ngantang District, Malang Regency. A simple random sampling technique selected Ninety-two farmers as respondents in this study. The factors analyzed in this study include the farmer's age, education, number of family dependents, land area, land status, and length of farming. The results showed that the education factor had no significant effect on the implementation of Corporate Farming. In contrast, the characteristics of age, number of family dependents, land area, land status, and length of farming had a significant effect on the opportunities for farmers to join Corporate Farming.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities on the performance of ledre MSMEs in Bojonegoro Regency. The sample consisted of 72 ledre MSME owners, sampling by simple random sampling with the slovin formula to determine the number. Data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that entrepreneurial orientation positively and significantly affects dynamic capabilities. This is indicated by the path coefficient value of 0.928 and a P value of 0.000. Dynamic capability has no significant impact on performance; the results of field data processing show a path coefficient value of 0.344 and a P value of 0.116. Entrepreneurial orientation has a positive effect on performance. This is indicated by a path coefficient value of 0.420 and a P value of 0.045. Dynamic capability is not proven to mediate entrepreneurial orientation on performance, this is indicated by a path coefficient value of 0.319 and a P value of 0.117. Suggestions for further research can add other variables that can potentially affect the performance of MSMEs, such as innovation, marketing strategies, or business digitalization.

Abstract

Income inequality remains a significant issue in developing nations, including East Java, which was ranked fifth among regions in Indonesia for having the highest level of inequality in 2023. This inequality is often associated with structural changes, especially the decrease of agricultural land to accommodate industrial development. This study aims to determine the most suitable spatial model, analyze the relationship between agricultural land reduction and income inequality in East Java, and explore the effects of other factors such as Agricultural Sector GDP, HDI, labor force, and real per capita expenditure on income inequality. The research uses secondary data, including panel data from 38 regencies/cities in East Java from 2009 to 2018. The results indicate spatial dependency among the independent variables, making the Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR) the most appropriate method for analysis. These findings suggest that a significant decrease in agricultural land area tends to exacerbate income inequality even further. Therefore, this study has important policy implications, including the need for the government to uphold laws related to the protection of sustainable agricultural land and to provide skills training that is relevant to the needs of modern sectors. The results also show that an increase in the agricultural sector's GDP and labor force can boost productivity, output, and income, thereby potentially reducing income inequality. Whereas a rise in HDI and per capita expenditure tends to increase income inequality due to unequal access to development benefits and the consumption patterns of high-income groups, which further widen the gap.

Abstract

Agricultural activities based on the utilization of yard land in Malang Regency have one of the benefits, namely supporting the level of community resilience. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the sustainability status of yard-based agricultural activities in Malang Regency and the factors that influence it. The analysis method used in this research is the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method with the RAP-HG (Rapid Appraisal for Home Garden) technique. The variables used to measure the sustainability of home garden-based agricultural activities in Malang Regency are 6 dimensions of sustainability, consisting of ecological, economic, social, institutional, cultural, and technological dimensions. The results showed that the sustainability status of yard-based agricultural activities in Malang Regency showed results that fell into the overall moderate category, with details in the good category based on the institutional dimension (78.13), and in the moderate category based on the dimensions of ecology (70.01), economy (63.46), social (63.45), culture (63.46), and technology (63.45). Furthermore, the factors or attributes that influence the sustainability status of yard -based agricultural activities in Malang Regency are known to consist of attributes (1) the availability of clean water in the area, (2) the market potential of the yard, (3) the number of people who utilize the yard, (4) the involvement of community institutions in the development of yard-based agriculture, (5) the legality of the yard area, (6) the role of formal institutions in supporting the implementation of P2L, (7) conflicts between communities with different cultural backgrounds, (8) violations of belief values in the utilization of the yard, and (9) community understanding of agricultural technology.
