Abstract

Corn farmers on the RI–RDTL border frequently face limited resources in developing their agricultural potential, despite continuous government efforts to provide support and facilitation. Addressing this issue requires an understanding of both internal and external factors related to farmers, innovative characteristics, the role of information media, and the involvement of extension workers. This study aims to examine the determinants influencing maize farmers’ practices in West Miomaffo District, North Central Timor Regency. Data were collected through a survey of 161 corn growers and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The analysis revealed that communication efficacy and farmer-related external factors significantly influence behavioral changes, with critical ratio values exceeding the threshold (CR > 1.96). Conversely, internal farmer factors, innovation characteristics, and the role of extension workers did not have a significant effect on practice changes. These findings highlight that strengthening external support systems and improving communication strategies are more decisive for behavioral transformation among maize farmers in the border area than internal or innovation-driven factors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze land use change and its impact on soil quality in the Catchment Area of the Manten Sub-watershed, Malang Regency. Land use changes were assessed using satellite imagery data from 1998, 2008, 2018, and 2024, while soil physical and chemical properties were measured to develop the Soil Quality Index (SQI). The SQI was computed using the Minimum Data Set (MDS) approach based on principal component analysis, and each indicator was scored and integrated using a weighted additive formula. The results show a significant increase in built-up areas by 12% and a decrease in plantation land due to land conversion. These changes were driven by population growth and urbanization. The highest SQI value was recorded in plantation areas (0.70), while the lowest was found in dryland agriculture (0.58). The decline in soil quality was mainly caused by low organic matter content and unsustainable land management practices. This study highlights the importance of land use planning based on soil potential to support environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Sustainable Food Home Area (KRPL) is a household-based food security initiative program. The use of yard land through KRPL activities has been carried out since 2010, encouraging the community to meet its food consumption needs independently and support household-scale food security. In some locations, KRPL activities have not reached their full potential, limiting the achievement of the program's objectives. This study was conducted to analyze the influence of internal and external factors on the success of KRPL activities among KRPL participants. Respondents were selected using a saturated sample, namely 22 women farmers who participated in KRPL activities in Getas Village, Tanjunganom District. Data analysis was conducted using ordinal logistic regression with the aid of SPSS 30 software. The study's results indicated that age in the range of ≤40 years, a time expenditure of 1.5-3 hours/day, and POMOSDA support fall into the medium category, which affects the success of KRPL activities in Getas Village. Spending 1.5–3 hours/day is the factor with the strongest influence, with an opportunity ratio value of (-12,316) = 4,485. This research is beneficial for women farmers who participate in KRPL activities because women farmers can determine the success of KRPL activities, and further guidance needs to be provided to determine the sustainability and implementation of yard land management systems obtained from extension workers (the government) and POMOSDA (the private sector) to face food security challenges, especially at the household scale.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of essential oils; however, its export competitiveness in the Chinese market has fluctuated over time. This study aims to analyze the level and dynamics of Indonesia’s essential oil export competitiveness compared to other major exporting countries in the Chinese market. The research uses secondary time-series data from 2011 to 2023 obtained from Trade Map. Competitiveness is assessed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Dynamic Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA) methods. The findings reveal that Indonesia generally demonstrates strong competitiveness, except in 2011 when it was weak and in 2022 when it was moderate. Based on DRCA, Indonesia was classified as a “rising star” in 2011–2013 and 2017–2019, a “falling star” in 2013–2015, a “lost opportunity” in 2019–2021, and experienced a decline to the “lagging retreat” position in 2015–2017 and 2021–2023. These fluctuations are influenced by unstable production, limited product innovation, and quality standards that do not fully align with market requirements. To strengthen its competitiveness, Indonesia must enhance product quality, adopt technological innovations, and foster collaboration among stakeholders.

Abstract

By leveraging its potential as a new member of BRICS, Indonesia can enhance its international trade through increased economic and trade cooperation within the group. BRICS integration can help improve Indonesia's trade balance and reduce its dependence on traditional markets, as it provides Indonesia with access to new markets and opportunities to diversify its export partners. This is the first study to analyze Indonesian rubber competitiveness and key determinants specifically across BRICS-Plus countries following official 2025 accession, providing one of the first empirical assessments in the context of Indonesia’s prospective 2025 BRICS accession. Using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and multiple linear regression methods with annual data from 2001 to 2023, the study evaluates both comparative advantage and the factors influencing export performance. The independent variables include the GDP of BRICS countries, Indonesia’s GDP, world rubber prices, exchange rate, inflation rate, population, and export restriction policy. The RCA results show that Indonesia holds a comparative advantage in most BRICS markets; however, competitiveness remains relatively weak in India and China, the two largest importers of Indonesian rubber. Regression analysis indicates that three variables significantly and positively affect Indonesia’s rubber export value, namely the GDP of BRICS nations, international rubber prices, and the rupiah exchange rate. These findings imply that macroeconomic coordination, diversification of export destinations, and stabilization of the exchange rate are crucial to enhancing Indonesia’s trade performance within BRICS. Strengthening competitiveness in key markets will be essential for Indonesia to optimize its economic gains and reinforce its position in the global rubber trade following full integration into the BRICS framework.

Abstract

The establishment of a tourist village with grapes as a tourist attraction in a suboptimal area is strongly influenced by the level of efficiency, both technically and economically. Suboptimal land in Pangandaran Regency is characterized by dryness, so inefficiency in input use can lead to low production and productivity levels in grape cultivation. Furthermore, the presence of a tourist village has an impact on the social life of the local community. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence grape cultivation as an agritourism activity. In addition, to measure the technical and economic efficiency of grape cultivation at the household scale. The method used in this study was parametric statistics with the Stochastic Frontier Analysis approach. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, comprising 60 respondents who cultivate plants. The research respondents were selected with the criteria of farmers who have grown grapes for more than 2 years. The results showed that the level of efficiency of grape cultivation in the yard has a technical efficiency value of 0.856. Factors that influence the level of technical efficiency are the number of trees, the amount of manure, the amount of growth fertilizer, and labor. Meanwhile, the socioeconomic factor that influences the level of technical inefficiency is the age of the farmer. The age of the farmer has a significant impact on the level of inefficiency in grape cultivation activities. The recommendation from this research is that input subsidy programs, such as compost fertilizer, should continue to be provided to grape farmers. Comparative studies with other tourist villages should be conducted to obtain market information. Additionally, training programs for the young generation in grape cultivation should be implemented to maintain agrotourism.

Abstract

Sustainable livelihoods are a crucial concept in efforts to achieve balanced social, economic, and environmental prosperity. In reality, many communities face challenges with their implementation, including uncertain income and limited access to existing resources. The existence of these problems necessitates effective strategies for achieving sustainable livelihoods. This research aims to analyze sustainable livelihood strategies by optimizing the livelihood capital owned by rice farmers. This research was conducted in Penanggungan Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency. This research was conducted in February – March 2024. This research focused on farmers who grow rice plants, with 134 respondents. The method used is a sustainable livelihood approach based on livelihood capital. Data analysis used logistic regression. The results obtained from human capital, social capital, and physical capital have a significant and positive impact on sustainable livelihoods. Meanwhile, natural capital has no significant effect, and financial capital has a negative and insignificant impact on sustainable livelihoods. Thus, human capital, social capital, and physical capital have the opportunity to improve farmers’ sustainable livelihoods.

Abstract

Soft rot is a plant disease that can reduce both the quality and quantity of potato production, primarily caused by the Pectobacterium carotovorum. This study aims to isolate and identify the bacteria responsible for soft rot disease in potato tubers using molecular methods. Bacterial isolation was performed on a diseased potato tuber collected from Sumber Brantas Village, followed by a pathogenicity test, PCR, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.  Based on macroscopic and microscopic examination, four isolates exhibiting soft rot symptoms were identified: P1, P2, K5, and K7. The 16S rRNA sequencing results and BLAST analysis showed that isolate K5 was closely related to Serratia rubidaea, isolate P2 was closely associated with Pectobacterium carotovorum, isolate P1 was closely related to Pseudomonas koreensis, and isolate K7 was closely associated with Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum. This study presents the first molecular characterization of bacteria responsible for soft rot in potato tubers originating from Batu City, East Java. The findings provide foundational insights that may support the development of molecular-based diagnostic tools and region-specific disease management strategies for potato cultivation in Indonesia.

Abstract

The transformation of tropical landscapes due to agricultural expansion constitutes a significant global environmental challenge. Current land-cover classification methods, however, provide limited differentiation among agricultural management systems. This study develops an agriculture-focused land-cover classification workflow that fuses Landsat 9 optical imagery and PALSAR-2 L-band SAR across a ≈2,500 km² study area in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, to enhance discrimination of crop systems and improve spatial coherence via object-based enhancement. A 22-class land-cover taxonomy was supported by 14,029 strategically collected training points. Feature engineering produced 29 predictor variables, including conventional vegetation indices, agricultural-specific metrics, water indicators, and SAR-derived structural features. Models were evaluated on an independent test dataset comprising 4,209 samples. An agriculture-weighted Random Forest classifier with strategic class weighting was implemented and followed by Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) object-based enhancement to suppress speckle and enforce spatial contiguity. The classification achieved an overall accuracy of 53.7%, with exceptional performance for estate crop systems (F1 = 94%) and reliable forest discrimination. SLIC reduced salt-and-pepper noise by 99.5% and substantially improved spatial coherence metrics, transforming fragmented pixel-based outputs into operationally viable products. Despite these gains, discriminating smallholder mosaics remains challenging and likely requires additional temporal or higher-resolution inputs.

Abstract

Granulated sugar is a vital ingredient in Indonesia, widely used as a sweetener in various food and beverage applications. To meet increasing domestic demand, the government has targeted sugar self-sufficiency by 2025. The Indonesian Long-Term Development Plan 2020–2024 outlines efforts to enhance sugarcane productivity. This study aims to identify the factors influencing farmer loyalty in sugarcane cultivation in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed to examine the relationships between government policy, sugar company policy, farmer behavior, and cooperative member participation (independent variables) and farmer loyalty (dependent variable). The data were analyzed using SmartPLS version 4. The results indicate that government policy and cooperative member participation do not significantly affect farmer loyalty, while farmer behavior and sugar company policy have a significant positive influence. Notably, the policies of sugar companies play a pivotal role in shaping farmers’ commitment to sugarcane cultivation. These findings suggest that strengthening farmer behavior and enhancing company-level policies can improve loyalty. Furthermore, the results imply that government efforts toward sugar self-sufficiency should not only focus on policy formulation but also ensure alignment with farmers' practical needs and support systems. Integrating sugar company strategies with national agricultural policies could enhance the effectiveness of government programs and accelerate the achievement of self-sufficiency targets.
