Abstract

Farmers are the majority of jobs of Indonesian people, including porang farmers in the Surakarta buffer district. The existence of porang farmers has begun to be shaken in recent times due to quite extreme climate change, so it is feared that in addition to affecting the production of porang farmers, it will also have an impact on the food security of porang farmer households in the Surakarta buffer district. This study aimed to determine the food security level of porang farmer households in the three Surakarta buffer districts: Sukoharjo, Wonogiri, and Karanganyar. Food security analysis is a cross between the share of food expenditure and the caloric adequacy percentage, analyzed using the Jonsson and Toole cross-classification method. The analysis showed that based on the value of the share of food expenditure, 88% of porang farmers were in a food-secure condition, and the remaining 12% were in a food-insecure condition. The average portion of porang farmers' food expenditure was 40.36%. The results of the AKE calculation show that porang farmers consume energy of 2,937 kcal/capita /day. Based on Jonsson and Toole's cross-classification, about 76% of porang farmers are in the food secure category, 12% are in the food vulnerable category, and the remaining 12% are in the food less secure category; no farmers are in the food insecure category. This study's findings are crucial as they demonstrate that despite climate variability and fluctuating price changes, porang farmers in the Surakarta buffer district are classified as food-secure.

Abstract

Local food is a viable alternative to traditional food sources for meeting people's food needs. Central Java Province is a fairly high producer of porang. This is proven. One location with many farmers growing porang is in the buffer district of Surakarta City, namely Sukoharjo Regency. The production of food crops, especially porang in Sukoharjo, is what actually provides supplies to urban areas. Porang plants are sold in processed form, such as flour. The added value of this product increases economic value. The purpose of this study is to reveal the strengthening of the porang creative economy in Central Java Province through the creation of value-added products and the introduction of a communal business system that could potentially encourage porang production to become one of the iconic products in Central Java. This study uses a descriptive analytical method. This study utilizes primary data collected through direct interviews with farmers. The respondents of this study were 50 porang farmers in Sukoharjo Regency who are members of the Sukoharjo Porang Farmers' Friends (SPPS) in Kamal Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo Regency. Data analysis used the Hayami method of value-added analysis and a literature review of the communal introduction system. The value-added analysis results show that glucomannan flour production generates an added value of IDR 199,641 per kg of porang tuber raw material with a ratio of 72.25%. The profit obtained by the trading business is IDR. 186,483 per kilogram of porang tuber raw material with a profit ratio of 68.68%. The communal introduction system enables the porang business to be well-managed, as there are still porang farmers outside Sukoharjo Regency who continue to plant. Communal integration can stabilize production supplies, thereby strengthening existing institutions and necessitating testing in the three districts involved.
