Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted food security and accessibility in Central Java Province. This study aims to analyze the effects of the pandemic on food accessibility in three dimensions—physical, economic, and social—and on food security. Methods: The study was conducted in five cities and regencies with high COVID-19 case rates. The research method employs Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to identify relationships between latent and manifest variables. Primary data were collected from 348 respondents, while secondary data were obtained from relevant agencies. Results: The findings reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic situation indirectly positively affects food security through improved physical access to food, supported by government policies such as large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) and community activity restrictions (PPKM), which allowed markets to operate with health protocols. However, economic and social access to food was not significantly impacted by the pandemic. Physical access was shown to have a direct positive impact on food security, while economic access was highly influenced by the respondents’ economic conditions. Conclusion: In conclusion, food accessibility—particularly physical access—plays a crucial role in maintaining food security during the pandemic in Central Java.

Abstract

Introduction: Oil palm nurseries are crucial to oil palm farming success. Thus, precise management measures from the start, such as giving nutrients and using optimal planting material, are essential. Vermicompost and guano were tested as organic fertilizers in oil palm fields to replace chemical fertilizers. This study aims to evaluate the effect of guano and vermicompost as organic fertilizers on the growth of oil palm seedlings during the pre-nursery stage. Methods: Besides the control group, the experimental treatments included 10% vermicompost, 20% vermicompost, 10% guano, and 20% guano, each replicated five times in a completely randomized design. Results: The introduction of 10% guano resulted in a significant enhancement across key growth metrics Addition of 10% guano had 20.0% more leaves, 22.5% more stem diameter, and 62.1% more shoot dry weight than the control group. This study shows that guano, which includes 19% P2O5, can boost oil palm seedling growth. The inceptisols was already rich in nutrients, thus vermicompost had no effect on it throughout the three-month testing. Since the soil conditions were good, vermicompost did not change them during the three-month trial. The correlation matrix showed a strong and constant link between seedling shoot and root fresh and dry weights. The relationship between organic fertilizers and oil palm nursery growth highlights the importance of a well-rounded plant development profile. This highlights the complex relationship between organic fertilizers and oil palm growth. Conclusion: Guano at 10% has been shown to improve oil palm seedling growth in the nursery phase, outperforming vermicompost.

Abstract

Introduction: Performance evaluation is essential in defining supply chain strategies because the firm can find out how the business processes in the supply chain are running and formulate strategic policies. Kayumas coffee is one of Indonesia’s specialty coffee with a unique aroma and flavor originating from Kayumas Village, Situbondo District, East Java. Kayumas coffee supply chain needs to be evaluated because of the lack of competitiveness with other specialty coffees. Strategies are needed to improve supply chain performance, improve product quality, and reduce costs. This study aims to configure the supply chain of Kayumas specialty coffee structure, evaluate its performance, and determine performance improvement strategies. Methods: This study uses descriptive analysis to configure the supply chain structure and flow. Analysis of supply chain performance based on Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model then weighted with Analytic Network Process (ANP). Performance improvement strategies were formulated by a discussion with experts and then weighted with ANP. Results: The research results show that the Kayumas specialty coffee supply chain comprises farmers, farmer groups, distributors or resellers, and consumers. There are 6 performance indicators (metrics) to measure performance: perfect order fulfillment, order fulfillment cycle time, flexibility, total supply chain management cost, cost of goods sold, and cash-to-cash cycle time. Performance measurement shows that Kayumas specialty coffee supply chain performance is in the inferior category. Conclusion: The strategy needed to improve supply chain performance by reducing cost is a partnership between supply chain members to reach a price agreement.

Abstract

Introduction: This study examines the food consumption patterns and food security status of corn farming households in Paterongan Village, Galis Subdistrict, Bangkalan Regency, Madura Island, Indonesia. The research is conducted within the context of the low food security levels in Indonesia, despite the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2015. Paterongan Village serves as an interesting case study due to its high corn production but also a high poverty rate, which raises concerns regarding household-level food security. This study aims to identify the factors influencing food security among corn farmers in the area. Methods: This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting data through interviews and questionnaires with 76 female corn farmers. The 24-hour food recall technique was applied to assess food consumption patterns and calculate the Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS). Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing food security. Results: The findings indicate that the food consumption patterns are relatively limited in diversity, with most households primarily consuming cereals, vegetables, oils, legumes, and fish. The average HDDS score is 7.1, with 67% of households classified as food insecure. Conclusion: The logistic regression analysis identified education level, household income, and the utilization of home gardens as significant factors that improve food security.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility and identify the influence of total production, planting area, and farmer identity (age, education level, farming experience, number of family dependents) on the income of lowland rice farmers in Selubuk Village, Air Napal District, North Bengkulu Regency. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method on 29 farmer respondents selected from 97 farmer families using the Slovin formula. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data were obtained from related agencies. Data analysis included cost-revenue analysis (R/C ratio) and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The results showed that lowland rice farming in Selubuk Village was financially feasible with an R/C ratio value of 3.39. The regression analysis results indicated that simultaneously, total production, planting area, age, farming experience, education level, and number of family dependents had a significant effect on farmer income (Sig. F = 0.000). Partially, the variables of total production, planting area, farming experience, and education level had a positive and significant effect on farmer income (p < 0.05). However, a multicollinearity problem was detected between the total production and planting area variables, which needs attention in the interpretation of their individual coefficients. The variables of age and number of family dependents did not have a significant effect on farmer income (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, lowland rice farming in Selubuk Village is profitable, and income improvement can be focused on production factors, experience, and increasing farmer education capacity, considering the close relationship between production and land area.

Abstract

Introduction: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is one of the horticultural plants of the fruit type which is included in the gourd tribe or Cucurbitaceae family. The problem of melon cultivation in the field is that it requires intensive maintenance, is susceptible to pests and diseases, uses less efficient nutrients, is sensitive to weeds, and has less controlled growth. The above problems can be overcome by hydroponic techniques. In hydroponic techniques, environmental resources are easier to control and the results obtained are more satisfying compared to conventional cultivation, especially in open fields. Amino acids are proteins that have been broken down through the metabolic process into small molecules. In addition to humans, plants also need amino acids to increase overall yields and quality. Methods: This study aims to determine the effect of providing the best Amino Plant concentration for the growth and production of melon plants. This study was conducted in June - October 2022 at the Smart Green House (SGH) of Jember State Polytechnic. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of one factor, namely the concentration of Amino Acid with 3 levels, namely P1 (4 mg/L), P2 (8 mg/L), and P3 (12 mg/L). Results: The results of the study showed that the administration of Amino Acids at a dose of 2 g/L gave results that were not significantly different (ns) in all parameters and showed that there was no effective concentration for melon growth and production in all parameters.Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, it is recommended to carry out further research by applying Amino Plant according to the guidelines on the packaging. It is necessary to calibrate the drip irrigation or fertigation system so that the nutrient flow is uniform.
