Abstract

This study examines the agribusiness partnership between PT Hikmahfarm and farmers in Pangalengan, Bandung Regency, Indonesia, focusing on its effectiveness and inclusivity as a poverty alleviation strategy. Farmers face persistent structural challenges, including land scarcity, limited access to capital, low technology adoption, and unequal market access. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with 25 purposively selected informants, field observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically using NVivo software. The findings show that the partnership effectively improves access to capital, technology, and markets for partner farmers, resulting in increased productivity and income stability. However, these benefits are not accessible to non-partner farmers, creating a two-tiered system that risks widening socio-economic disparities. The study reveals that the partnership reflects an incomplete form of collaborative governance due to its limited inclusivity. This research contributes empirically by demonstrating that agribusiness partnerships can simultaneously promote empowerment and exclusion. It highlights the need for proactive government intervention to strengthen public institutions and ensure more inclusive partnership models. Such efforts are essential to transform agribusiness partnerships into a more equitable and systemic poverty alleviation strategy aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals’ principle of leaving no one behind.

Abstract

Traditional fishermen in coastal Indonesia continue to face persistent productivity constraints due to limited access to efficient fishing technology. This study investigates the utilization of ketinting engine assistance and its contribution to productivity improvement and socio-economic change among fishermen in Torombia Village, Kulisusu District, North Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. A qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, involving village officials, representatives of the Marine and Fisheries Service, recipient fishermen, and non-recipient fishermen selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while trustworthiness was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that ketinting engine assistance improved operational efficiency, expanded access to more productive fishing grounds, and increased catch volume from 3–5 kg to more than 10 kg per day, along with better catch quality. The assistance also contributed to greater household financial stability, improved capacity to meet educational and healthcare needs, and reduced reliance on informal loans. The study concludes that appropriate technology, when supported by local institutions and social capital, can enhance the social functioning of coastal communities, although its long-term sustainability depends on continuous technical training and improved local spare-parts access.
