Abstract

This research aims to identify the main structures and actors in strengthening existing coconut development institutions in Majene in support of the Majene Coconut Village Program and determining strategic programs to increase coconut production in Majene Regency. This research will be carried out in Majene Regency, West Sulawesi. This research uses Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) analysis which functions to formulate complex policy structures based on elements, formulate a hierarchy of relationships between elements, and classify elements into 4 quadrants (autonomous, independent, dependent, and linkage). The result is that the institutions that are key actors in increasing coconut production in Majene Regency are farmer groups/gapoktan, the Livestock and Plantation Agriculture Service, coconut farmers and agricultural extension workers. Then the key programs to increase coconut production are extending plantation land, increasing human resources for extension workers, providing access to capital and standardizing coconut products and their derivatives. The three key programs to increase coconut production also have links with key actors. The extension program is a mandatory program for the Livestock and Plantation Service, with one of its activities being holding field schools. Apart from that, the program to increase human resources for extension workers as a key program is considered very relevant to the conditions faced by extension workers in Majene because the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Plantation has limited human resources to carry out extension work, they need help from agricultural instructors but are hampered by background knowledge and differences. main duties. Based on institutional analysis, the role of agricultural institutions can be identified in increasing coconut production in various aspects. First, social and institutional roles play a role in forming coordination flows between institutions so that the implementation of programs to increase coconut production can be well organized and achieve targets. Apart from that, institutions also play a role in empowering farmer groups so as to raise their motivation, awareness and involvement in extension activities which will ultimately increase cocoa production through the implementation of GAP. Furthermore, regarding the economic role, institutions play a role in providing production inputs to farmer groups which can have a direct impact in increasing production as well as providing a market for farmers to sell their cocoa through partnerships with companies and NGOs. Then regarding the role of the environment, agricultural institutions strive to cultivate cocoa which produces large and sustainable production through the use of organic fertilizers and pesticides. Keywords: Strategy, improvement, production, coconut IntisariPenelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi struktur dan aktor utama dalam penguatan kelembagaan pengembangan kelapa yang ada di Majene dalam mendukung Program Kampung Kelapa Majene dan menentukan program strategis untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa di Kabupaten Majene. Penelitian ini akan dilaksanakan di Kabupaten Majene Sulawesi Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) yang berfungsi untuk merumuskan struktur kebijakan yang kompleks berdasarkan elemen, merumuskan hierarki hubungan antar elemen, dan mengklasifikasikan elemen ke dalam 4 kuadran (autonomous, independent, dependent, dan linkage). Hasilnya adalah lembaga yang merupakan aktor kunci dalam meningkatkan produksi kelapa di Kabupaten Majene adalah kelompok tani/gapoktan, Dinas Pertanian Peternakan dan Perkebunan, petani kelapa dan penyuluh pertanian. Kemudian program kunci untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa adalah ekestensifikasi lahan perkebunan, peningkatan SDM penyuluh, penyediaan akses terhadap modal dan standarisasi produk kelapa dan turunannya. Ketiga program kunci untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa juga memiliki keterkaitan dengan aktor kunci. Program penyuluhan adalah program wajib bagi Dinas Peternakan dan Perkebunan dengan salah satu kegiatannya yakni mengadakan sekolah lapang. Selain itu, program peningkatan SDM penyuluh sebagai program kunci dinilai sangat relevan dengan kondisi yang dihadapi penyuluh di Majene dikarenakan pihak Dinas Pertanian Peternakan dan Perkebunan memiliki SDM yang terbatas untuk melakukan penyuluhan, mereka membutuhkan bantuan dari penyuluh pertanian akan tetapi terkendala dengan latar belakang pengetahuan dan perbedaan tupoksi. Berdasarkan analisis kelembagaan, maka dapat diidentifikasi peran kelembagaan pertanian untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa dalam berbagai aspek. Pertama, peran sosial, kelembagaan berperan dalam membentuk alur koordinasi antar lembaga sehingga pelaksanaan program untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa dapat terorganisir dengan baik dan mencapai sasaran. Selain itu, kelembagaan juga berperan dalam memberdayakan kelompok tani sehingga membangkitkan motivasi, kesadaran, dan keterlibatan mereka dalam kegiatan penyuluhan yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan produksi kakao melalui penerapan GAP. Selanjutnya pada peran ekonomi, kelembagaan berperan dalam menyediakan input produksi kepada kelompok tani yang dapat memberikan dampak langsung dalam peningkatan produksi serta memberikan pasar bagi petani untuk menjual kakaonya melalui kemitraan dengan perusahaan dan LSM. Kemudian pada peran lingkungan, kelembagaan pertanian mengupayakan budidaya kakao yang menghasilkan produksi yang banyak serta berkelanjutan melalui penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida organik. Kata Kunci : Strategi, peningkatan, produksi, kelapa

Abstract

Agricultural development, specifically cocoa agribusiness, is largely determined by the human resource. When human resources possess high motivation, creativity, and the ability to develop innovation, agricultural development is significantly improved. This phenomenon shows the necessity to strive for empowerment of farmer for capacity improvement. Therefore, this study aimed to (1) describe the level of empowerment of individual farmer and their groups, and (2) analyze influence of individual characteristics of farmer, groups, and the role of counseling in empowerment of groups member. The analysis was carried out in Soppeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, using a combined quantitative and qualitative design. A total of 70 respondents and 12 informants were included, consisting of farmer groups administrator, extension workers, and heads of estate services. Data collection was carried out through surveys and in-depth interviews. Meanwhile, data processing and analysis for this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Partial Least Square (PLS).  The results showed that both farmer and groups empowerment were mostly in the medium category. Furthermore, characteristics of individuals, farmer groups, and the role of counseling significantly affected empowerment of members, including groups. Empowerment of farmer groups also influenced the success of cocoa agribusiness. These results showed that the development of cocoa agribusiness required high empowerment of individual farmer and groups as farmer institutions.

Abstract

Climatic elements are limiting factors for plants; therefore, climate change can impact the phenology of plants. This study aims to determine the impact of climate change on the reproductive phenology of four local mango cultivars on Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. Data were collected during 2013 and 2014 by observing and recording the production of vegetative shoots, generative shoots, and fruits from the trees of each mango cultivar weekly. To assess the impact of seasonal change on fruit quality, the weight and sugar level of the ripe fruits in each cultivar were measured. Climate data were obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Region IV, Makassar. Results show that from 1979 until 2014, the climate in the study site changed from type D to type C according to the Schmidt-Ferguson Climate Classification method, indicating that the wet season became longer. Following climate change, the reproductive phenology of the four mango cultivars also changed from once to twice annually, whereby the flush of vegetative and reproductive shoots that appeared during the first period in March did not successfully develop into mature fruit but developed following the second period in July. The change of season also impacted the quality of the mangoes, as fruit produced during the longer dry season had higher sugar levels than those produced during the shorter dry season.
