Abstract

This study analyzes the existence of Agricultural Extension Institutions (LPP) in West Lombok Regency in 2025. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 140 respondents consisting of farmers (120 people), field agricultural extension workers (8 people), Saprodi Agents (6 people), and corn entrepreneurs (6 people) during March 2025. The results showed that 56% of Stakeholder Responses expressed a positive attitude (score mode 4) towards the role of LPP as a program implementer, with 39% giving a high rating on its contribution to the development of corn agribusiness. Further analysis showed a significant difference in perception between groups, Saprodi and PPL agents rated it very positively (score mode 5), while the farmer group (score mode 4) and the corn entrepreneur group (score mode 3) showed a lower assessment.  This study implies the need for an LPP differentiation approach in serving various stakeholders, especially to harmonize perceptions and increase collaboration between extension workers, farmers, and corn business actors.
