Abstract

The problem of land conversion is a crucial issue for increasing melon productivity. Adoption of greenhouse technology as an alternative solution in increasing crop productivity. This study aimed to assess the technical efficiency of melon farming with a greenhouse system as an alternative technology that may increase melon productivity. The research was conducted in East Java on 60 samples of greenhouse melon farmers. The estimation of technical efficiency is determined using the Stochastic Frontier Translog approach. Production inputs of labor, seeds, and organic fertilizer have a positive elasticity to increase greenhouse melon production. While land area, Anorganic fertilizers, pesticides, and nutrients do not have a significant effect on increasing greenhouse melon production. Most melon farmers in East Java can utilize production inputs of greenhouse technology efficiently, although 26.67% of farmers need help to use production inputs rationally. Technical efficiency achieved by melon farmers who adopt greenhouse technology is determined by the number of family dependents, extension intensity, farmer group participation, and partnership relationships. The main employment status of melon farmers has a negative influence on increasing the technical efficiency of melon greenhouse farming. Regeneration of farmers and input subsidies in the form of organic fertilizers are essential to have a greater impact on melon farmers who apply greenhouse technology in the long term

Abstract

The rice price fluctuations are a significant challenge for farmers in Indonesia, including in Manokwari, West Papua, which plays a strategic role as a food granary. This research aims to (1) identify the various adaptation strategies of rice farmers in Manokwari Regency in facing rice price fluctuations; (2) analyze internal factors (such as social capital, access to resources, farmer household characteristics); and (3) analyze external factors (such as government policies, institutional support, local market conditions) that influence these adaptation decisions. This research addresses the gap in in-depth studies on specific adaptation dynamics in Manokwari. Using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design, qualitative data (in-depth interviews, observations) and quantitative data (questionnaire surveys) were collected from rice farmers in Prafi District. Data were analyzed thematically for qualitative data and using descriptive statistics and logistic regression for quantitative data. The research findings indicate that farmers adopt various adaptation strategies such as income diversification, the use of new technologies, and changes in cultivation practices. Influential external factors include government policies related to prices, market conditions, and institutional support. Significant internal factors include adaptive capacity, social capital, access to resources, as well as literacy levels and trust in others, which proved to be highly significant in strategy adoption. Price fluctuations have a tangible impact on the socio-economic aspects of farmers, pressuring income and welfare. This research concludes that enhancing farmers' adaptive capacity requires holistic interventions that comprehensively address internal and external factors.

Abstract

The coconut sugar industry in Indragiri Hilir Regency shows good potential due to the high demand for coconut sugar products. However, this potential has not been optimally utilized and there is still low interest from farmers to be involved in this industry, even though the availability of raw materials is very abundant. This study aims to analyze the added value of coconut sugar production between tenant farmers and owner farmers using the Hayami method and formulate development strategies for the coconut sugar industry to improve the regional economy through SWOT and QSPM analysis. This research plays an important role in encouraging the development of the coconut sugar industry as a coconut-derived product that can increase community income and local economic growth. Increase community income and local economic growth.   Data collection methods used include surveys, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and literature studies. The results show that with a scheme of 50 coconut trees, each liter of coconut sap generates an added value of IDR 2,794 (71.93%) in the leased coconut system and IDR 3,318 (85.44%) in the owned coconut system. Average monthly production is 462.69 kg, requiring 2,382.69 liters of nira, with profits reaching Rp 2,046 per kg (leased) and Rp 2,571 per kg (owned). The development of the coconut sugar industry is in the “Grow and Build” phase, and although it has high growth potential, there are still several challenges to be faced, including limitations in distribution, infrastructure, and capital. The findings of this study can be applied in local government policies through the preparation of coconut product regulations, integration of the One Village One Product (OVOP) concept in village programs, facilitation of business groups and training by relevant agencies, support for product diversification (liquid sugar and ant sugar) through MSMEs, and promotion of local product branding to increase competitiveness in national and export markets.

Abstract

The number of breeding rice seeds in North Sumatra Province is decreasing every year. This will have an impact on the availability of rice seeds for farmers. Meanwhile, a certification process is needed to produce quality rice seeds.  The aim of this research is to analyze how the differences in factors such as level of education, knowledge of certifying seeds, experience as a seed breeder, seed selling price, land area, and rice seed production costs can influence the seed breeder's decision to certify the rice seeds produced. The method used is the Average Difference Test with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Test with sample determination using saturated samples (census) totaling 44 seed breeder groups. The results of the analysis show that the variables of knowledge, experience, selling price, and production costs differ significantly for each decision taken by seed breeders in rice seed certification activities. While the variables of education level and land area are not significantly different, this is because the education level of the seed breeder group is almost the same, namely an average of high school / vocational high school graduates, while the area of land controlled by the seed breeder group is also not significantly different between the 3 groups, the average land area of the Non-Seed Certification group is 16.25 ha, the average land area of the Unfinished Seed Certification group is 17.42 ha, and the average land area for the Seed Certification group is 27.35 ha.

Abstract

Agroforestry systems represent an approach to forest management that considers both ecological and economic functions. The system aims to optimize land use by integrating forest and agricultural components, thereby enhancing the economic and ecological benefits of the forest area. Consequently, information regarding the potential of agroforestry is essential for designing an effective management strategy. One location implementing agroforestry systems is Banyurip Village, which features an uncommon combination of key plants, namely Tectona grandis and Plukenetia volubilis. Banyurip has been selected as the research location due to its unique circumstances; most other locations primarily focus on the cultivation of sacha inchi plants, and there is a notable absence of agroforestry system applications. This presents an opportunity to explore and assess the potential benefits of integrating agroforestry practices in this area. The aims of this research is to provide information about the potential utilization of plant species present in the study area, utilizing data collection methods through interviews. Informants were selected purposively based on the criteria of farmers practicing an agroforestry system that focuses on a combination of teak and sacha inchi in production forest areas. Six farmers participated as research informants. This research was conducted in production forests managed by Perum Perhutani, employing a methodology that includes an exploratory descriptive approach accompanied by field observations and interviews. The results identified sacha inchi as the primary supporting plant species and 11 other cultivated plant species, with a total of 37 associated plant species, consisting of 10 woody plant species and 27 non-woody plant species. The identified plant types possess economic and ecological potential, such as teak, which serves as an oxygen producer, and sacha inchi, which holds significant economic value due to its oil.

Abstract

East Java Province, one of the carrot centers, experiences fluctuations in carrot production, which is thought to be due to inefficient production factors and land degradation due to low conservation use. The study investigates the level of conservation activities adopted by carrot farmers in East Java Province, focusing on technical efficiency and the impact of socio-economic factors on this efficiency. This study was conducted purposively in Sumberbrantas Village, Batu City, and Wonokerso Village, Probolinggo Regency, using a simple random sampling method with data collection through interviews. The analysis method used was the Likert scale scoring method for the level of conservation adoption by farmers, stochastic frontier analysis using the Cobb-Douglas function with maximum likelihood estimate (MLE), and tobit regression analysis to determine the effect of conservation on technical efficiency. Results show that conservation adoption is mostly low, with factors like land, chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, pesticides, and labor positively affecting production. The average level of technical efficiency is 0.4970, with location and education having a significant positive effect. Conservation variables do not have a significant effect.

Abstract

Melon plants are a high-value horticultural commodity favored by consumers for their taste and market appeal. This study aimed to determine the best combination of Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) fertilizer and Amino Acid Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) doses to enhance the growth and yield of melon plants while promoting nutrient balance and minimizing environmental impact. The experiment was conducted from April to July 2024 in a greenhouse located in Jatirejo Village, Nganjuk Regency, with LOF composition analysis carried out at the BSIP Laboratory. A factorial experiment using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) was applied with two factors: MKP fertilizer dose (5, 10, and 15 g/plant) and LOF dose (0, 50, 100, and 150 ml/plant), resulting in 12 treatment combinations replicated three times. Observed parameters included plant length, number of leaves, fruit weight, fruit diameter, and fruit length. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by a 5% BNJ test for significant differences. The results showed a highly significant interaction between MKP and LOF treatments, with the combination of 15 g MKP and 100 ml LOF per plant producing the best outcomes across most growth and yield parameters, indicating that this treatment is optimal for maximizing melon productivity in a sustainable manner.
