Abstract

This study aims to (1) determine the role of agricultural extension workers in the implementation of the Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forestry (ICLF) system, and (2) analyze the level of farmers’ income through the implementation of the ICLF system in Sasitamean Subdistrict, Malaka Regency. The ICLF system is an integrated agricultural system that combines crops, livestock, and forestry into a single farming enterprise to improve land efficiency and farmers’ income. This study employed a survey method using a quantitative descriptive approach. The study population consisted of all 70 farmers implementing the ICLF system, with a sample of 35 farmers selected using snowball sampling. The data used included primary data obtained through interviews and questionnaires, as well as secondary data from relevant agencies. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis and income analysis. The results of the study indicate that the role of agricultural extension workers in the implementation of the ICLF system is considered good, with an average score of 3.50 or an achievement level of 70.1%. Most respondents (77.14%) stated that the extension workers played a good role. The average total annual income for farmers was Rp 43,162,856, with average annual production costs of Rp 11,247,051, resulting in an average annual income of Rp 31,915,805. Thus, it can be concluded that the role of extension workers is crucial in supporting the implementation of the ICLF system, and this system has proven.

Abstract

Lowland rice farming in Wehali Village, Central Malaka District, Malaka Regency, still faces various problems, including low productivity, limited farmers’ knowledge and skills, weak access to capital and technology, and the suboptimal role of farmer groups in supporting farming activities. In fact, farmer groups have a strategic role as learning classes, cooperation forums, and production and marketing units in improving the performance of lowland rice farming. This study aims (1) to identify the characteristics of lowland rice farming, (2) to analyze the role of farmer groups in lowland rice farming, and (3) to determine the factors related to the role of farmer groups in Wehali Village. The study was conducted in May 2025 using a survey method. The research location and respondents were determined through purposive sampling involving three active farmer groups with a total of 60 farmer respondents. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, and analyzed descriptively. The results show that (1) the characteristics of lowland rice farming in Wehali Village are dominated by farmers with relatively small landholdings and low levels of education; (2) the role of farmer groups is generally categorized as moderately effective, particularly as learning classes and cooperation forums, while their role as production and marketing units has not been optimally implemented; and (3) factors related to the role of farmer groups include education level, farming experience, and farmer participation in group activities. The conclusion of this study indicates that strengthening the role of farmer groups through improved extension services, training programs, and cooperation with relevant stakeholders is necessary to enhance the productivity and sustainability of lowland rice farming in Wehali Village.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze marketing channels, marketing margins, and marketing efficiency of banana chips produced by UMKM Mindari in Noelbaki Village, Central Kupang District, Kupang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, using primary data collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires distributed to 50 respondents, as well as secondary data obtained from the enterprise’s sales records. The analysis focused on identifying marketing channel structures, marketing costs and margins, and the level of marketing efficiency. The results reveal two marketing channels, namely a direct channel from producers to consumers and an indirect channel involving retailers. The direct channel generates no marketing margin because the entire price paid by consumers is received by producers, indicating a highly efficient marketing system. In contrast, the indirect channel produces a marketing margin of IDR 5,000 per package, equivalent to 20% of the consumer price, with producers receiving 80% of the final price. The marketing efficiency value of the indirect channel is 8.5%, suggesting that this channel is still considered reasonably efficient. Overall, the findings indicate that the direct marketing channel is the most efficient and provides greater benefits for producers. These results imply that strengthening direct marketing strategies while maintaining indirect channels can enhance market coverage, competitiveness, and income sustainability for small and medium-sized agro-processing enterprises.

Abstract

The marketing system of sorghum commodities plays an important role in improving farmers’ welfare, especially in areas where sorghum is considered a leading commodity. This study aims to identify the various constraints faced by farmers in marketing their sorghum production and to analyze the marketing system using the Structure, Conduct, and Performance (SCP) approach in Kawalelo Village, Demon Pagong District, East Flores Regency. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey technique involving 58 respondents consisting of farmers and marketing institutions. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. The results show that sorghum production has increased from year to year; however, this increase has not been accompanied by an optimal marketing system. The existing marketing channels involve several actors, namely farmers, collectors, and retailers. The marketing functions carried out include buying, selling, transportation, and storage activities. The main constraints faced by farmers include limited access to markets, high dependence on intermediaries, and the relatively simple marketing system applied. In addition, the high marketing margins and the low share of prices received by farmers (farmer’s share) result in relatively low farmer income. Therefore, the sorghum marketing system in the study area is considered inefficient and requires improvements, such as strengthening farmer institutions, expanding market access, and increasing efficiency in the marketing chain.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing production, business profitability, and production elasticity in a honey processing business at CV. Amfoang Jaya, Sikumana Village, Maulafa District, Kupang City. The research method used was a case study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using business profit analysis and the Cobb-Douglas production function in natural logarithm form.The results showed that capital, labor, raw materials, and demand simultaneously significantly influenced honey production, with a significance value of 0.003 (<0.05) and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.877. Partially, raw materials and demand had a positive and significant effect on production, while capital and labor did not. The average total business revenue was Rp30,430,000 per month, with total costs of Rp16,800,361 per month, resulting in an average profit of Rp13,629,639 per month. The business profit level reached 81.13%, which is considered high. Maximum profit analysis indicates that optimal production is achieved at an output level of 185,000 ml per month. The results of the production elasticity analysis indicate that all input variables are inelastic, with a total elasticity of 0.688, indicating decreasing returns to scale. Therefore, CV. Amfoang Jaya's honey processing business is considered profitable, but increasing production is more effective through efficient use of production factors, particularly raw materials.

Abstract

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) farming is a food commodity that plays a crucial role as a source of vegetable protein and a source of income for farmers in rural areas. In Weoe Village, Wewiku District, Malaka Regency, mung beans have been cultivated for generations, but their development still faces various obstacles, such as low productivity, an inefficient marketing distribution system, and suboptimal marketing profitability. This study aims to determine the productivity level of mung bean farming, analyze the marketing distribution system, and determine the level of marketing profitability of mung bean in Weoe Village, Wewiku District, Malaka Regency. This research was conducted in Weoe Village, Wewiku District, Malaka Regency from September to October 2025. The research method used was descriptive quantitative with a survey technique. Respondents were selected using simple random sampling of 60 mung bean farmers. The data used consisted of primary and secondary data obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review. Data analysis was conducted using productivity analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer's share, marketing efficiency, marketing profitability, and Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio) analysis. The results show that mung bean farming productivity in Weoe Village is still relatively low and varies among farmers. The mung bean marketing distribution system involves several marketing institutions, including village collectors, sub-district retailers, district retailers, and wholesalers, resulting in a long marketing chain and relatively high marketing margins. The farmer's share received by farmers was 66.6%, indicating that farmers can still increase their share of the price through improvements to shorter and more efficient marketing channels. Overall, the mung bean marketing business remains profitable and viable, but marketing efficiency needs to be improved to sustainably increase the income and welfare of mung bean farmers.
