Abstract

This study evaluated cattle farmer’s satisfaction with government support programs and compared incomes between farmers using artificial insemination (AI) and natural breeding in Liliriaja District, South Sulawesi. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews with 150 purposively selected cattle farmers. The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) method assessed four main indicators: technical service quality, IB availability, income generation, and production yield. The results showed a moderate level of satisfaction (CSI = 73.78%), with the highest score for AI availability (WS = 1.089) due to its critical role in genetic improvement. However, the income support program had the lowest satisfaction (WS = 0.621), highlighting gaps in subsidy accessibility and market linkages. Economically, IB calves generated higher income (IDR 8,500,000/head) compared to natural mating (IDR 6,500,000/head), despite IB requiring higher feed costs. This study underscores the need for policy improvements, including reviving subsidy programs, technical training, and optimal implementation of IB to improve farmers' welfare and sustainable livestock productivity.

Abstract

Vegetables are plants or parts of plants that are commonly consumed by Indonesian people as staple foods, appetite enhancers, or appetite stimulants This study aims to understand and describe the implementation of supply chain management in vegetable traders at Pekkabata Polewali Mandar Central Market. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of supply chain management in Pekkabata Central Market has been running well. Good cooperation between traders and local farmers and distributors allows for the availability of stable and quality vegetables. Effective stock management also helps reduce the risk of loss due to damage or decreased quality of vegetables. Vegetable traders at Pekkabata Central Market also carry out strict supervision of vegetable quality and have the hope of having a comfortable and cool place to sell to maintain the quality of the vegetables sold. This study recommends improving communication and coordination between traders, farmers, and distributors, developing better information systems, and increasing awareness of the importance of vegetable quality for consumer health. The local government can also consider improving market facilities to improve the quality of vegetables sold.

Abstract

The development of agricultural technology plays an essential role in increasing rice farming productivity and income, especially in Banua Baru Village, Wonomulyo District, Polewali Mandar Regency. This study aims to analyze the role of agricultural technology in increasing rice productivity, identify obstacles faced by farmers, and formulate strategic recommendations. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach involving four farmers as informants. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings show that the adoption of technologies such as superior rice varieties, the legowo planting system, and agriculture machinery (tractors, water pumps, combine harvesters) has increased rice yields by 25-30% and reduced production costs by up 15%. However, farmers still face barriers such as high initial investment, rising fuel prices, and limited access to technical training. This study recommends expanding subsidies for equipment, strengthening agriculture extension services, and improving irrigation infrastructure to optimize the use of agriculture technology in rural areas.
