Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of production and price on the income of seaweed farmers in Tadui Village, Mamuju District. Seaweed is a leading commodity in the fisheries and agriculture sectors, which plays an important role in supporting food security, industrial raw materials, and exports. A quantitative approach is used with the help of the SPSS application to identify the relationship between independent variables (production and price) to dependent variables (income). Data was collected through a survey of seaweed farmers using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the analysis show that production and price variables partially and simultaneously have a significant influence on farmers' income. Production has a positive influence, where each increase in production increases farmers' income significantly. Prices also have a significant impact, showing the importance of price stability in improving farmers' welfare. These findings underscore the need for policies that support increased productivity and seaweed price stability to encourage economic growth of coastal communities in Tadui Village. Optimization of cultivation technology and government intervention in price stabilization are the main recommendations of this study.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the income of corn farmers in Sondoang Village, Kalukku District, Mamuju Regency, and to assess the role of government interventions in increasing their income. The study employs qualitative and quantitative methods, involving direct interviews with key stakeholders such as the village government, agricultural extension workers, and local farmers. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and documentation, validated through triangulation techniques (source, technical, and time triangulation). Results indicate that government support, in the form of seed provision and agricultural extension programs, significantly impacts farmer productivity and income. This research highlights the potential of corn farming as a sustainable income source for rural communities and the critical role of government facilitation in enhancing agricultural practices.
