Abstract

The present study explores the untapped potential of developing cayenne pepper as a strategic horticultural commodity in Matabura Village, Amonggedo District, Konawe Regency. The analysis reveals that this potential has not been realized due to several constraints. First, farmers' knowledge, bargaining position, and technology utilization are inadequate. Second, the role of agricultural extension workers in supporting marketing and enhancing farmers' welfare is suboptimal. The objective of this study is to ascertain the role of agricultural extension workers, the market access of cayenne pepper farmers, and the relationship between the role of agricultural extension workers and the market access of cayenne pepper farmers in Matabura Village. The present study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing an explanatory survey design. The study population consists of all cayenne pepper farmers who actively participate in agricultural extension activities in Matabura Village, with a total of 26 individuals included in the study. The present study employed a census technique. The data collection process entailed the implementation of various methodologies, including surveys, interviews, and documentation. The research variables of interest were the role of agricultural extension workers and market access. Quantitative descriptive methods were used to analyze the data. The results demonstrated that the role of agricultural extension workers in Matabura Village was relatively effective and contributed significantly to improving the market access of cayenne pepper farmers. Extension workers have performed a variety of strategic functions, including roles as educators, information disseminators, motivators, and facilitators. These functions have included the provision of training, market and price information, marketing assistance, and the strengthening of business networks and partnerships. The market access of cayenne pepper farmers is also favorable, as evidenced by the availability of marketing facilities and cooperation with various parties. However, this is not yet universally experienced by all farmers. The correlation test results show a positive and strong relationship between the role of agricultural extension workers and farmers' market access (r = 0.770; p < 0.05), confirming that optimizing the role of extension workers is a key factor in expanding market access and improving farmers' bargaining position. Strengthening the capacity and institutional support of extension services needs to be continuously improved to encourage more sustainable agricultural marketing.

Abstract

The transition from cocoa farming to oil palm cultivation in Southeast Sulawesi, particularly in Mondoke Village, is attributable to technical factors. Oil palm is regarded as more lucrative, more manageable, and more resilient to pests and diseases than cocoa. The objective of this study is to ascertain the technical factors involved in the conversion of cocoa farming land to oil palm in Mandoke Village, Lambandia Subdistrict, East Kolaka Regency. The informants for this study consisted of farmers who were members of farmer groups and agricultural extension workers. The study's informant pool comprised a total of nine individuals, including eight farmers and one agricultural extension worker. The data collection techniques employed in this study encompassed observation, documentation, and interviews guided by a structured interview protocol. The present study centered on the technical factors that precipitated the conversion of agricultural land. The collected data was then subjected to qualitative analysis. The findings of the study indicate that the technical factors associated with the conversion of cocoa farmland to oil palm plantations, undertaken by farmers in Mondoke Village, are as follows: farmers possess the knowledge necessary for the cultivation of cocoa, yet they recognize that cocoa necessitates more intensive care than oil palms. Regular fertilization and pruning are essential to maintain the health of cocoa trees and prevent overgrowth, which can lead to increased susceptibility to pests such as PBK and Helopeltis. In contrast, oil palm maintenance is less complex, necessitating only the pruning of aged fronds to facilitate harvesting and deter pests. The management of pests, such as caterpillars and rats, in oil palm plantations can be effectively addressed through the implementation of controlled measures, including the application of pesticides and the maintenance of sanitation. Furthermore, the yield of old cocoa trees (over 20–25 years old) is lower, while oil palms demonstrate a longer and more stable production period throughout the year.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the correlation between environmental factors and the rehabilitation of cocoa plantations in Nelombu Village, Mowewe District, East Kolaka Regency. The study population consists of 26 active cocoa farmers residing in Nelombu Village. The research sample was determined using the census method. The data presented herein was collected through the implementation of in-person interviews, which incorporated the use of a structured questionnaire. The research variables of interest were cocoa rehabilitation and environmental factors. The collected data was then analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistical methods and Spearman's rank correlation test. The findings of the study suggest that the robust correlation between environmental factors and cocoa plant rehabilitation can be attributed to intricate interactions among culture, society, and the individual impact of farmers. The mutually reinforcing relationship between these three factors is evident in the manner in which farmers manage their cocoa farms. This management is evident in the cultivation techniques employed, as well as in the decision-making processes related to variety selection, fertilizer use, pest control, and marketing. Consequently, the efficacy of management is contingent upon a harmonious equilibrium between conventional knowledge, social support systems, and access to superior information and resources. This underscores the significance of environmental factors in the context of cocoa farm management.
