Abstract

The regency of Kulon Progo, located in the western part of Yogyakarta Special Region, owns the lowest ratio of paddy fields relative to arable land, i.e., 0.27%, compared to other regencies in the region. Effective management of paddy farming technology is crucial to enhance productivity. This research aims to describe the management of rice farming technology and to analyze the allocative efficiency of rice production factors in Kulon Progo. The study employs cross-sectional data collected through observations and surveys using an open-ended questionnaire. The sampling method used is proportional stratified random sampling, with a total of 105 respondents, of which 55 from Panjatan Sub-district and 50 from Sentolo Sub-district. Data analysis methods include quantitative descriptive, multiple linear regression with the Cobb-Douglas production function, and calculation of allocative efficiency index (Ki) tested with the one-sample Wilcoxon test. The findings show that the majority of farmers use superior Ciherang seed varieties, insecticides for pest control, and adopt the rice cultivation method known as "jajar legowo". Moreover, a significant number of farmers have not yet adopted combine harvesters due to landscape unsuitability. Key production factors affecting rice output include land area, seed quantity, fertilizer application, farming experience, hybrid variety adoption, technical irrigation use, and combine harvester utilization. Allocative efficiency analysis reveals non-efficient land allocation, suggesting a need for land-use reduction. Meanwhile, seeds and fertilizers use are inefficient, warranting more allocations of these inputs.

Abstract

In the past few years, the number of e-commerce businesses in Indonesia is increasing including those that offer vegetables and fruits. Due to COVID-19 outbreak, transactions through e-commerce sites had also increased. During the outbreak, customers in Indonesia had a tendency to allocate their income for essential needs such as vegetables and fruits. This study aims to: (1) assess the frequency of vegetables and fruits purchases through e-commerce sites before the Omicron outbreak (October – December 2021) and during the Omicron outbreak (January – March 2022); and (2) examine the determinant factors of customers repurchase decision to buy vegetables and fruits through e-commerce sites. Data were collected using online questionnaire distributed to 140 respondents that were selected based on age and experience of purchasing vegetables and fruits online. The differences in frequency of purchasing vegetables and fruits through e-commerce sites before and during the Omicron outbreak were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Meanwhile, the determinant factors of the decision to repurchase vegetables and fruits through e-commerce sites were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The results showed that there is no significant difference in frequencies between purchasing before and during the Omicron outbreak. Education, products, price discounts, promotions, and COVID-19 situation are the determinant factors of repurchase decision of vegetables and fruits through e-commerce sites.  As the writer conducting this study, there was no previous study on the same case that using the combination of demographic, marketing mix, and situational factor as determinant factors on customers repurchase decision through online platforms.

Abstract

The availability of quality seeds is critical to supporting the sustainability of agriculture, which is further reinforced by the success of contract farming between seed companies and partner farmers. To foster a mutually beneficial partnership, it is essential to align the needs of farmers with the facilities and services provided by the company through well-defined contract terms and conditions. This study aims to explore the contract attribute preferences and their importance levels among farmers, growth leaders, and companies using a quantitative approach. A discrete choice experiment utilizing the conditional logit model was employed to investigate the preferences of 170 farmers, while a descriptive analysis was used to outline the preferences of other stakeholders. The findings indicate that farmers prefer written agreements over informal ones, favor shorter contract durations, and demand higher prices. Additionally, farmers showed a marked preference for receiving inputs, incentives, and credits. The preference patterns of stakeholders align with those of farmers regarding agreement form, inputs, price, incentives, and credit, although stakeholders tend to favor contracts with longer durations. Based on the rank-based quotient method, both growth leaders and farmers identified price, input subsidies, incentives, credits, agreement form, and duration as the most important attributes in maize seed partnership contracts, in descending order of importance. Contrarily, the company prioritizes input subsidies over other attributes, including price, duration, credit, incentive, and agreement form. These insights can inform the design of more suitable and effective contracts, thereby fostering sustainable partnership relationships in the future.

Abstract

This study portrays the roles of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in the mitigation of natural hazards. Menoreh Hill in Kulon Progo experienced more than 200 landslides in 2022 and its communities implemented TEK to mitigate them. Hence, this research quantitatively analyzes the role of agriculture-related TEK, especially those applied in hilly areas, to support household resilience to natural hazards. Authors surveyed 106 farm households and interviewed eight key informants in Banjararum and Sidoharjo Villages, Kalibawang and Samigaluh Sub-districts, Kulon Progo Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. The descriptive statistics showed that farmers in both villages are highest in practicing alley cropping and integrated farming, while also applying mixed cropping, multiple cropping and locally based planting schedule (pranata mangsa). From binary logistic regression, authors found that TEK practices of multiple cropping, alley cropping and pranata mangsa support farm household resilience to natural hazards, especially landslides. The TEK practices serve as sources of buffer and adaptation capacity in the development of farm household resilience. Interestingly, mixed cropping and membership in farmer groups tend to weaken resilience, as mixed cropping often complicates the recovery efforts in the farmlands, and farmers’ groups are not conditioned to act promptly during hazards or disasters. While TEK has been proven to take roles in the mitigation and adaptation to natural hazards, there is a need to integrate scientific knowledge to improve its optimum benefits.
