<![CDATA[This study examines the development of cassava trade governance in Lampung Province through a narrative policy analysis of 76 online news reports published between 2014 and 2026. The analysis compares four gubernatorial periods: M. Ridho Ficardo, Arinal Djunaidi, Acting Governor Samsudin, and Rahmat Mirzani Djausal. The findings show a gradual shift from market-based governance, initial government coordination, crisis mobilisation, to more formalised policy orchestration. In the earlier periods, cassava governance was mainly shaped by farmers, collectors, and processing factories, while government intervention remained limited.
