Abstract

Fertilizer application is a crucial aspect of agricultural practices, especially for horticultural crops like cauliflower. Humbang Hasundutan Regency, a key horticultural hub in North Sumatra Province, has been significantly affected by rising chemical fertilizer costs, placing a financial strain on farmers. This study aimed to evaluate three fertilization strategies in terms of cost-efficiency, effectiveness, and their potential to reduce chemical fertilizer expenses. Using an experimental method, primary data were collected over one growing season to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of each experiment. Results showed that combining chemical and organic fertilizers improved cost-efficiency but did not enhance production effectiveness. Specifically, a 50:50 blend of chemical and organic fertilizers reduced fertilizer costs by IDR 1,468,400 per hectare. These findings indicate that incorporating organic fertilizers can be a viable approach for farmers to lower input costs and potentially improve farm sustainability.

Abstract

The non-formal education process aims to support farmers in enhancing their agriculture skills and achieving mutual interdependence. Enhancing the involvement of extension workers is believed to positively influence farming productivity. This study seeks to identify the role of extension in cocoa commodities and to examine the factors affecting the productivity improvement of cocoa farmers. The research was carried out in cocoa-producing areas, in Poso Regency. The sample size in this study was determined using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis, following the minimum requirement of five times the number of research indicators, resulting in a total of 103 respondents. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach with the Smart-PLS program. Factors such as farmer characteristics and the role of extension workers have a significant impact on improving farmer competency. Farmer competency can be improved through the role of extension workers based on the specific needs of cocoa farmers. This increase in competency has a direct impact on increasing farmer production and income. Farmers with higher competency will be able to optimize the use of agricultural inputs, such as the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and be more effective in various processes, such as cultivation, harvesting, post-harvest, processing, and marketing.

Abstract

The plantation sub-sector plays a strategic role in Indonesia’s economy, with tobacco being one of the most important and competitive commodities contributing to regional income and employment. Bojonegoro Regency is recognized as one of the main tobacco production centers in Indonesia, yet its farmer institutions remain weak and fragmented. This study addresses the gap in understanding the structural relationships among institutional actors involved in tobacco farming. The objective was to analyze the hierarchical structure and interaction patterns of these actors to strengthen institutional performance and sustainability. The Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method was applied using data collected from experts and key stakeholders in Bojonegoro’s tobacco farming sector. The ISM results revealed that tobacco farmers, PT. AOI, and the Agricultural Service possess the highest driving power and occupy the Independent sector, acting as the main driving forces of institutional development. Meanwhile, Farmer Groups and Suppliers have the lowest driving power, categorized as Dependent actors, indicating their heavy reliance on institutional and policy support. These findings highlight that improving institutional sustainability requires strengthening collaboration between independent and dependent actors, while optimizing the coordinating role of linkage actors such as the Regional Government and Agricultural Extension Workers. Overall, the study provides practical insights for policymakers to design targeted interventions that enhance the effectiveness and resilience of tobacco farmer institutions in Bojonegoro Regency.

Abstract

The global palm oil industry has become a focal point in agricultural trade due to its economic significance and environmental implications. As one of the world’s largest producers, Indonesia faces increasing pressure to maintain its competitiveness while addressing sustainability and trade policy challenges. This study aims to assess the development of scientific literature on Indonesian palm oil competitiveness and its relationship with global agricultural trade dynamics. The study was conducted using bibliometric analysis of 648 scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar and Scopus using the keyword "palm oil competitiveness". The articles were published in the time span from 1992 to 2025 for documents sourced from Google Scholar and the time span from 1985 to 2025 for documents sourced from Scopus.The data was analysed using Bibliometrix (R) and VOSviewer software to identify publication trends, main keywords, and interconnections between topics in the literature. The results showed a significant increase in the number of publications in the last decade, signalling high attention to the issue of palm oil competitiveness. Keywords such as “competitiveness”, “export performance”, “market share”, and “sustainable development” were central in the literature network, illustrating the important role of economic, policy, and sustainability aspects in strengthening Indonesia's palm oil position in the global market. The findings showed that palm oil competitiveness did not only depend on production efficiency, but also required downstream policy support, capacity building of farmers, and strengthening of trade diplomacy. This research was expected to serve as a reference for academics and policymakers in formulating a sustainable, equitable palm oil development strategy that was able to adaptively respond to global trade challenges.

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized as an archipelagic state with vast marine resources, covering approximately 3.1 million km² or about 62% of the total national territory, presenting significant potential for fisheries development. However, traditional fishermen face various challenges, including declining fish catches due to overfishing, rising input costs, expensive fishing equipment, and environmental degradation, all of which directly affect their net income and welfare. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing fisherman’s net income in Jawai Laut Village, South Jawai Subdistrict, Sambas Regency. The study employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 54 motorboat owning fishermen through structured interviews and questionnaires, complemented by secondary data from relevant institutions. The data were analyzed using a log-linear Cobb-Douglas net income model to estimate the elasticity of net income with respect to input cost variables, namely diesel prices, oil price, bait price, and labor wages. The results indicate that all input cost variables significantly affect fishermen’s net income. Diesel price, bait price, and labor wages have a positive and significant effect, while oil price has a negative and significant effect. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.868. These findings highlight the critical role of input cost dynamics in shaping fishermen’s economic performance. Therefore, policies related to stabilizing fuel prices, ensuring input availability, and improving cost efficiency are essential to enhance the welfare of small scale fishermen in coastal communities such as Jawai Laut Village.
