Abstract

Introduction: Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) is a popular vegetable plant in Indonesia. This is because the demand for lettuce continues to increase and lettuce plants can be planted with a hydroponic system that is currently in great demand by the community, especially generation Z (Gen Z). In meeting the demand for lettuce, lettuce is planted hydroponically. Planting in a hydroponic system often does not pay attention to the intensity of light that can be received by plants due to the shade from the GreenHouse or UV plastic used, so that plants cannot grow optimally. The purpose of this study was to find the most suitable lettuce varieties planted hydroponically at various irradiation times as well as the most appropriate long light for lettuce plant growth and to analyze the relationship between characters with the yield for indirect selection. Methods: The study was conducted at the GreenHouse Arsy Hydroponic using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial pattern. 3 lettuce varieties and 4 long light treatments were the treatments in this study. The relationship between characters was analyzed using correlation analysis. Results: The results of the study showed that the Cos and Batavia varieties can generally be used for planting with a light duration of more than 12 hours compared to the Oakleaf variety. Light duration of less than 12 hours is not recommended because it will cause the plant height to be higher, especially for the Oakleaf variety. In the indirect selection process to obtain high-yielding varieties in the hydroponic system by providing light duration and varieties can be selected from the characteristics of the number of leaves, leaf width and root length which have a significant positive correlation. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that selecting the appropriate variety can increase optimal crop yields. Information on the relationship between plant characteristics is very important to increase the effectiveness of selection.

Abstract

Introduction: The development of sorghum in the drylands of East Sumba faces complex challenges, particularly regarding limited government resources and weak farmer bargaining power. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the sorghum area development program through a Collaborative Governance perspective, focusing on the role of farmers' corporations. Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive method conducted from May to July 2023 in East Sumba Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions with 15 key informants selected via purposive sampling (farmers, government officials, and private partners). The analysis utilized Ansell and Gash's framework, examining initial conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, and collaborative processes. Results: The findings reveal that while the collaboration has successfully initiated the program, it faces critical structural challenges. Initial conditions were marked by information asymmetry and farmer skepticism due to past failures. Although the institutional design adopted a consensus-based voting mechanism, participation remained dominated by government and private actors, leading to passive involvement from less-educated farmers. However, the Agriculture Office's facilitative leadership proved effective in conflict mediation, and the achievement of "small wins" through increased harvest yields has begun to build trust. Conclusion: The study concludes that sustainable sorghum development requires transforming farmer groups into legal corporate entities to balance power relations. Future collaboration must focus on substantive farmer empowerment rather than just procedural participation.

Abstract

Introduction: Bawean Island, located in Gresik Regency, East Java, holds a unique cultural tradition in the form of Tok-Tok Sape bullfighting, where Bali and Madura cattle are specially raised for traditional contests. This study aims to analyze the production potential of livestock and the development prospects of Tok-Tok Sape as a cultural and ecotourism attraction. Methods: A survey method with structured questionnaires was used to collect primary data from cattle breeders in Tambak and Sangkapura sub-districts, complemented by observations, interviews, and microclimate measurements. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and SWOT analysis to identify strategic factors influencing development opportunities. Results: The SWOT analysis positioned Tok-Tok Sape ecotourism development in Quadrant I (coordinates 1.47; 0.73), indicating that internal strengths—including cultural uniqueness (5.12 points), active community participation, and high-quality cattle—significantly outweigh weaknesses, while external opportunities such as government support and rising tourist interest (4.48 points) present substantial potential. Based on these findings, an SO (Strengths-Opportunities) Strategy is recommended, which focuses on three key actions: (1) integrating Tok-Tok Sape into broader cultural tourism packages, (2) formalizing event management through professional training and infrastructure improvement, and (3) leveraging government support to promote Bawean cattle as a distinctive breed. The cultural event significantly enhances cattle market value by 20-30% and strengthens local identity. Conclusions: Implementing this strategy would not only support cultural preservation but also generate economic benefits for the local community, contributing to rural development and demonstrating how traditional practices can be aligned with sustainable tourism principles to foster community empowerment. The study reflects the importance of maximizing cultural assets through proactive development strategies that balance economic growth with heritage conservation.

Abstract

Introduction: Jember Regency is the largest tobacco producer in East Java, reaching 37,821 tons in 2022. Tobacco offers strong development potential and provides significant income for farmers, yet the industry faces challenges due to the health impacts of smoking. Developing non-cigarette tobacco agro-industries is a promising alternative, especially since tobacco waste remains underutilized. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential areas for the development of non-cigarette tobacco agro-industries in Jember Regency and evaluate products with the highest added value and feasibility. Methods: The Exponential Comparison Method (MPE) was used to determine the most suitable districts for agro-industrial development, while the Hayami Method assessed the added value of various tobacco-based products. Financial feasibility was analyzed using Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Benefit-Cost Ratio, and sensitivity tests on changes in raw material prices and product selling prices. Results: Wuluhan District was identified as the most promising area. Added value analysis showed that biopellets generated the highest added value, with a profit percentage of 46.94% and IDR 28,750 added value. Financial analysis confirmed feasibility, yielding an NPV of IDR 9,728,771,339, an IRR of 68.75%, and a Net B/C ratio of 1.39 at a 6% interest rate. The break-even point was 45,720 units per year, with a payback period of 2.24 years. Sensitivity analysis showed feasibility even with raw material price increases up to 30%, while selling price decreases of up to 20% remained feasible; a 30% decrease made the project unfeasible. Conclusion: Wuluhan District is the most suitable area for developing non-cigarette tobacco agro-industries. Biopellets offer the highest added value and strong financial feasibility, providing economic and environmental benefits.

Abstract

Introduction: The production and marketing of red chili in Aceh Tengah Regency face significant risks, particularly financial constraints that limit liquidity and undermine the sustainability of farming systems. Prolonged receivable structures remain a major challenge, restricting farmers’ working capital and reducing supply chain efficiency. This study aims to optimize financial risk management in red chili agribusiness through the application of factoring as an alternative financing scheme, using a system dynamics approach. Methods: A system dynamics approach was employed to analyze the role of factoring as an alternative financing mechanism in red chili agribusiness. The research was conducted in the main chili production centers of Aceh Tengah Regency using a mixed-method design that combined literature review, field observations, and in-depth interviews with farmers, cooperatives, financial institutions, and policymakers. Primary and secondary data were integrated into a dynamic simulation model using Vensim software to assess the impact of factoring on cash flow, liquidity, and system sustainability. Results: The simulation results demonstrate that factoring effectively accelerates cash inflows, thereby strengthening farmers’ liquidity compared to delayed payments of up to 30 days under conventional arrangements. Enhanced liquidity enables farmers to finance production inputs, labor, and crop maintenance more efficiently, while cooperatives benefit from more stable cash flows to ensure timely payments to members. Additional advantages include improved sales administration and collection systems, reduced credit default risk, and greater competitiveness without collateral requirements. Conclusion: Factoring is proven to be a viable financing strategy that enhances the resilience and sustainability of red chili farming systems by improving liquidity and supply chain efficiency. Policy implications include the need to establish supportive regulations, promote transparency in factoring costs, and encourage cooperative-based financing schemes to facilitate wider adoption among smallholder farmers.

Abstract

Introduction: The broiler chicken industry plays a vital role in fulfilling the animal protein needs of the people in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. Despite high production levels, challenges in the supply chain remain, particularly in pricing disparities between producers and consumers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the supply chain of broiler chicken meat in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. Methods: A descriptive analytical method was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data. The analysis uses FSCN (Food Supply Chain Network) framework and performance metrics such as marketing margins and farmer’s share. Data were collected through interviews with 40 farmers and 12 supply chain institutions, supplemented by secondary data from local agencies. Results: Three supply chain channels were identified: Channel 1 (Farmers → Partner Companies → Brokers → Wholesalers → Retailers → Consumers), Channel 2 (Farmers → Partner Companies → Brokers → Wholesalers → Consumers), and Channel 3 (Farmers → Partner Companies → Brokers → Retailers → Consumers). Results showed that Channel 2 had the lowest total marketing margin (IDR 11,973/kg) and the highest farmer’s share (61.76%), indicating greater efficiency. Key challenges included price volatility, fragmented coordination, and limited government support. Conclusion: Based on farmer’s share and marketing margin analysis, channel 2 is the most efficient channel. The study recommends comprehensive upgrading strategies, including improving feed quality (product), adopting digital data management (process), and implementing livestock insurance (functional) to enhance supply chain resilience.
