Abstract

The need to use digital technology to access agricultural information does not always align with the ability of coastal farmers to utilize digital media for improving their farm production. Digital literacy serves as a catalyst in fostering independence, sustainability, and competitiveness among farmers, particularly in coastal areas that often face limited access to information and infrastructure. The objective of this study is to identify the level of digital literacy among coastal farmers and to examine which socio-economic characteristics influence their digital literacy. This research employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative approach involves in-depth interviews to explore farmers’ experiences related to the use of technology, while the quantitative approach applies multiple linear regression analysis to assess the influence of demographic factors on the level of digital literacy among coastal farmers. The findings reveal that demographic factors have varying effects on farmers’ digital literacy. Partially, age shows a significant negative effect, indicating that the older the farmers, the lower their digital literacy. Conversely, education level has a significant positive effect, meaning that higher education correlates with better digital literacy skills. The number of family dependents also shows a relatively weak but significant positive effect, suggesting that household responsibilities may motivate farmers to use digital technology to improve their welfare. Meanwhile, gender, land size, and farming experience are not found to have a significant impact. In conclusion, age and education are the dominant factors shaping farmers’ digital literacy, whereas other demographic variables do not provide meaningful influence.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted by lecturers and students of the Faculty of Agriculture, Gorontalo State University, under the theme “Enhancing the Capacity of Agricultural Extension Workers and Farmers through the Digitalization of Extension Materials in Ulanta Village, Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency.” The program was motivated by the low level of digital literacy among extension workers and farmers, as well as the absence of a structured and sustainable system for documenting and distributing agricultural extension materials in digital form. The main objective was to improve the participants’ ability to utilize digital technology as an effective, interactive, and accessible medium for agricultural extension. The activity employed a participatory and learning-by-doing approach, consisting of several stages: needs assessment, technical training on the use of Canva and CapCut applications, practical sessions for producing digital content, and the establishment of a WhatsApp Group as a community-based extension platform. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ digital competencies, where the farmers’ average post-test score rose from 13.35% to 76.24%, and the extension workers’ score increased from 22.4% to 95.9%. Participants successfully produced two types of digital extension materials (a short video and an infographic) and actively used the WhatsApp Group to share agricultural information. The program also resulted in a transformation of the extension workers’ role—from conventional information providers to digital facilitators—and fostered greater independence among farmers in accessing and producing agricultural information. In conclusion, the program effectively enhanced the digital literacy and technical skills of extension workers and farmers, strengthened information exchange through digital communication platforms, and demonstrated the potential for developing a sustainable model of digital agricultural extension at the village level.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis saluran pemasaran, margin pemasaran, farmer’s share, dan tingkat efisiensi pemasaran komoditas kemiri dan cengkeh di Desa Biluango, Kecamatan Kabila Bone, Kabupaten Bone Bolango serta Desa Dulamayo Utara, Kecamatan Telaga Biru, Kabupaten Gorontalo. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Desember 2024 hingga Februari 2025. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung pendekatan kualitatif. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan untuk menghitung margin pemasaran, farmer’s share, dan koefisien margin berdasarkan data harga jual, harga beli, biaya produksi, dan biaya pemasaran. Sementara itu, pendekatan kualitatif digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan pola saluran pemasaran, mekanisme penentuan harga, sistem pembayaran, serta peran masing-masing lembaga pemasaran melalui observasi dan wawancara langsung dengan responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemasaran kemiri memiliki empat saluran, yaitu (1) petani–pedagang pengumpul–industri, (2) petani–pedagang pengumpul–pengecer–konsumen, (3) petani–pengecer–konsumen, dan (4) petani–konsumen langsung. Adapun pemasaran cengkeh hanya melalui satu saluran, yaitu petani–pedagang pengumpul–pedagang besar. Margin pemasaran kemiri tertinggi terdapat pada saluran III sebesar Rp10.000/kg dan terendah pada saluran I sebesar Rp2.000/kg. Nilai farmer’s share kemiri tertinggi terdapat pada saluran IV sebesar 100%, sedangkan pada cengkeh sebesar 92% dengan margin Rp10.000/kg dan koefisien margin 8%. Semakin pendek saluran pemasaran, semakin kecil margin dan semakin tinggi bagian harga yang diterima petani, sehingga sistem pemasaran menjadi lebih efisien dan menguntungkan bagi petani.

Abstract

Agricultural extension officers play a crucial role in increasing knowledge and promoting the adoption of innovations in organic fertilizers among farmers. As educators, innovators, and motivators, agricultural extension officers play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of organic fertilizers among farmers. This study was conducted in the village of Ulapato B from August to October 2024, spanning a period of three months. The objectives of this research are: (1) to analyze the level of adoption of organic fertilizers in corn cultivation during the decision-making process related to innovation among corn farmers, and (2) to examine the diversity of farmers' perceptions regarding the role of agricultural extension officers in the process of adopting organic fertilizer innovations. Primary data were collected through structured interviews with a sample of 77 corn farmers. Data analysis employed frequency distribution and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Frequency distribution was used to categorize the raw data into specific groups for ease of interpretation. At the same time, ANOVA was applied to determine significant differences in farmers' perceptions of the roles of extension officers, namely as educators, innovators, and motivators, based on comparisons of group means. The findings revealed that maize farmers in Ulapato B Village still exhibit low interest in adopting organic fertilizer. The role of extension officers as educators and motivators was perceived positively and contributed significantly to the adoption process. However, their role as innovators was perceived as less effective, particularly in delivering innovations and training related to new technology in organic fertilizer application.

Abstract

Lowland rice is crucial in ensuring a stable food supply in a region. Uncertainty in harvest yields and farmers' income can disrupt food distribution, ultimately impacting food security in the area. This study examines the production and income risks associated with lowland rice farming in Harapan Village. The study was conducted from May to July 2024, utilizing data from a single planting season. The population involved in this study consisted of 424 farmers, and samples were selected using a simple random technique, with calculations based on the Slovin formula. This resulted in a sample of 40 farmers, with a margin of error of 15%. Data were collected through direct interviews (primary data) and secondary data from related agencies. The variables analyzed include fixed and variable costs, income calculated from revenue and expenditure, and risk measured by average production, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. The data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using Microsoft Excel 2021 to evaluate fluctuations in production and income. The results of the study indicate that the low level of production risk, as reflected in the Coefficient of Variation (CV) value of 0.50, suggests that rice farming in Harapan Village is relatively stable and not significantly affected by large fluctuations. However, even though the production risk is relatively low, farmers' income, which averages IDR 14,110,668 per planting season, is still limited because most of the income is used to cover production costs and debt obligations, which ultimately affects farmers' ability to obtain greater profits.
