Abstract

This study aims to determine the financial feasibility of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) farming using the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponic system in urban areas (case study in Kendari City). The study was conducted from June to November 2024. The population in this study consists of all farmers engaged in hydroponic farming using the NFT system in Kendari City. The sample size was determined based on information from the Kendari City Agriculture Department in 2021, totaling 10 farmers. Data sources include primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques include observation, questionnaires, documentation, and literature review. The research variables included respondent characteristics, income during one harvest season, including production costs and revenue. Data analysis in this study used the production cost formula, revenue, income, and R/C Ratio. The results of the study indicate that farming can be considered viable, given that the R/C ratio analysis yielded a value of 2.43. The average total cost of farming was Rp. 2,960,751, while the revenue was Rp. 7,200,000, and the net income was Rp. 4,230,249 per planting season.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the technical capacity of agricultural extension workers in supporting their performance during the implementation of agricultural extension activities in Kendari City. The research was conducted from September to November 2024 in Kendari City. The study location was selected purposively, based on the consideration that the area is an urban setting with active agricultural extension services. The study population consisted of all 50 field agricultural extension workers in the research area, and the entire population was included in the sample (a census approach). Data analysis employed descriptive statistics using class intervals to describe the state of the extension workers' technical capacity in supporting their performance during agricultural extension activities. The results indicate that the technical capacity of the extension workers in supporting their performance during agricultural extension activities in the study area falls into the "moderate" category. While the agricultural extension workers in the study area possess technical capacity that supports their performance well, there is a need for improvement to elevate this capacity to an "excellent" level.

Abstract

Communication is a fundamental component of agricultural extension, as it determines the effectiveness of information dissemination, innovation transfer, and technology adoption among farmers. However, communication processes in agricultural extension activities remain susceptible to various barriers that may reduce the effectiveness of extension services. This study aimed to analyze the communication barriers encountered by agricultural extension workers during rice farmer group extension activities in Awuliti Village, Konawe Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, which was subsequently expanded through snowball sampling until data saturation was achieved. The study involved six informants, comprising one agricultural extension worker, one head of the farmers' association (Gapoktan), two farmer group leaders, and two farmer group members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis process consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The analysis focused on five dimensions of communication barriers: technical, semantic, psychological, organizational, and socio-cultural barriers. The findings revealed that communication barriers experienced by agricultural extension workers were generally low. The primary barriers identified were technical in nature, including environmental noise, inadequate voice clarity during extension sessions, limited use of communication media, and interruptions during information delivery. Semantic barriers were relatively minimal because extension workers adapted their language to farmers' characteristics, simplified technical terminology, and provided clarification whenever necessary. In contrast, psychological, organizational, and socio-cultural barriers were not found to be significant due to open communication, harmonious interpersonal relationships, effective farmer group coordination, and the mutual ability of extension workers and farmers to build trust and adapt to local socio-cultural conditions. The findings suggest that improving the effectiveness of agricultural extension should prioritize strengthening the technical aspects of information delivery through adequate communication facilities and the creation of a conducive learning environment while maintaining high-quality interactions between agricultural extension workers and farmers.
