Abstract

Natural silk is an agribusiness activity consisting of interconnected and interrelated upstream-to-downstream subsystems. It is one of the leading industries in South Sulawesi Province, the national silk-producing region. The government has launched various development programs and policies to increase natural silk production in South Sulawesi Province but has not achieved the expected targets. Therefore, this research analyzed natural silk agribusiness's internal and external environment to formulate alternative and development strategy priorities. The research was conducted in South Sulawesi Province, with a regional focus on Soppeng Regency and Wajo Regency in February – April 2024. The location selection was carried out by purposive sampling, considering that the area is the main priority in developing natural silk in South Sulawesi Province. The selection of respondents used a deterministic approach in the form of purposive sampling, with 41 respondents in the study. Eight experts filling out a pair comparison questionnaire determined the strategy's priority. The research method used is A'WOT Analysis. The research results show that eight alternative strategies were formulated. The main priority is optimizing policies and regulations from departments/agencies related to the development of natural silk, with a weight value of 0.160. It is hoped that all the results of formulating alternative strategies can be considered in developing natural silk agribusiness in South Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

This study evaluated the antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid, and beta-carotene levels in two underutilized species of  Sumatran Baccaurea Lour. The fruit of red tampoi or Baccaurea costulata (Miq.) Műll. Arg is orange, while rambai or Baccaurea motleyana (Műll. Arg) Műll. Arg has a pale-yellow color with an “a” value of 29.22±0.51 and 2.67±0.58, respectively, measured with a hand chromameter. The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the free radical scavenging activities of both fruits was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. The IC50 of B. costulata (51.63±3.42 µg/g) indicated that its fruit juice has a strong antioxidant property, while B. motleyana (76.95±1.28 µg/g) has a moderately antioxidant characteristic.  A high antioxidant activity of B. costulata was followed by a high amount of ascorbic acid (55.86±1.73 mg/100g) and beta carotene (150.77±2.16 μg/g), in comparison to those of B. motleyana, which has a lower amount of ascorbic acid (37.30±2.34 mg/100g) and beta carotene (25.36±1.37 μg/g). It was also found that there was a moderate correlation between scavenging capacities (expressed as the reciprocal of the calculated IC50 value), a strong positive correlation with beta-carotene (r2 = 0.90), and a moderately positive correlation with ascorbic acid (r2 = 0.77). It can be concluded that both Baccaurea fruits are nutritious foods due to their high ascorbic acid and beta-carotene content, and they also possess high antioxidant properties. Both ascorbic acid and beta-carotene contributed significantly to the antioxidant activity.

Abstract

The Bakalan Village Government and the Bojonegoro Regency Agriculture Office in 2023, organized the Integrated Pest Management Field School to educate farmers about environmentally friendly agriculture and more sustainable pest control methods, to increase crop yields and farmer welfare. This study was conducted to analyze the influence of farmer behaviour in SLPHT activities on farmer decisions. Respondents were selected using the Slovin formula calculated by population. The study population was 80 farmers from 4 farmer groups in Bakalan Village. Thus, a research sample of 45 farmers was obtained. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression methods with data processing tools using SPSS. The results explained that farmer knowledge, farmer attitudes and farmer skills influenced farmers' decisions in SLPHT activities. Farmer knowledge is the highest factor or influence in influencing farmers' decisions on SLPHT activities. This research is useful for farmers participating in SLPHT because farmers can continue to apply the farming methods obtained in SLPHT activities and provide information to other farmers, and further guidance needs to be held to determine the sustainability and application of farming methods obtained from SLPHT activities.

Abstract

Snake fruit is a native Indonesian fruit that has become one of the leading export horticultural commodities. However, the distribution process of snake fruit exports to foreign countries faces several risks, such as perishability, bulky, diverse quality, and seasonality. Therefore, qualified management of risk barriers in the snake fruit supply chain system is needed, which is not only found in the distribution process but also in the production process and financial risks to maintain the quality of snake fruit. This study aims to identify potential risks, analyze the level of risk, and formulate risk mitigation measures in the snake fruit supply chain. The research method uses the intrinsic case study method and is analyzed using the House of Risk approach. The results showed that there were 32 risk events and 33 risk agents. Two of them are priority risks for mitigation, namely the risk of natural factors and demand fluctuations, which have led to 3 recommendations for mitigation actions, consisting of collaborating with related agencies and institutions, conducting intense communication among supply chain actors, and providing counselling and supervision of farmer-level snake fruit cultivation activities.

Abstract

Cilengkrang District is a sub-district in West Java recognized for its potential contribution to Indonesia’s coffee productivity. However, the overall productivity of coffee farming remains relatively low due to inefficiencies in farming practices. The coffee grown in Cilengkrang consists of two types: organic and inorganic.  This research aims to analyze factors that influence coffee production and analyze the level of technical efficiency of coffee farming. The study was conducted in Cilengkrang District, Bandung Regency, chosen purposively for its significant potential to contribute to the region’s coffee productivity. The sample consisted of 34 organic farmers and 34 inorganic farmers. Data collection began in August 2023 and ended in December 2024. The Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method was used to evaluate farming efficiency. The results of the analysis show that the variables of land area, liquid organic fertilizer, urea fertilizer, and KCl fertilizer influence production. Then the variables of education level, number of family members, experience, and financing dummy influence increasing farming efficiency. The efficiency level of coffee farming is included in the inefficient category.

Abstract

One of the primary challenges faced by government policies concerning agricultural commodities is maintaining food price stability. Instability in food prices can have significant economic, political, and social repercussions. This study provides an in-depth analysis of rice price fluctuations on a daily basis, offering a clearer understanding of rice price volatility in Medan. Through seasonality and volatility analysis, this research examines the changing trends in rice prices and their associated fluctuations. It is revealed that rice prices in Medan peak in February, and  the lowest rice prices occur in December. The rice prices were more volatile before the pandemic than after it. During the pre-pandemic period, the correlation between the prices of various food items was relatively low, meaning that the prices of different commodities were not strongly linked. However, in the post-pandemic period, the correlation between rice prices and other food items in Medan became more significant, suggesting that the prices of rice were more closely tied to those of other essential foodstuffs. Although rice price volatility in Medan is generally low throughout most of the year, the government should focus particular attention on the months between October and February, when volatility tends to be higher due to factors such as seasonal demand spikes and external influences like weather conditions. By proactively managing supply and demand, ensuring adequate rice stocks, and supporting local rice production, the Medan government can more effectively navigate periods of heightened volatility and ensure that rice prices remain stable and affordable for all consumers

Abstract

Forest areas are where the most advanced water and air cycles occur and cannot be replaced by any man-made products. For this reason, Indonesians' lives and forest lands are inextricably linked as economic resources. Deforestation also occurs at a considerable rate in East Kutai Regency. Changes in the area of forest land, which is continuously decreasing, followed by a growth in land area for other uses, including mining and plantations, serve as examples of this circumstance. To determine whether the conversion of this area is genuinely balanced between measures to protect the environment and the health of the soil and its economic value, more research must be done. One way to find out is to examine soil respiration in several locations. The purpose of the research was to compare soil respiration levels in three types of land cover in East Kutai Regency. The data collection method involves taking 0 – 30 cm depth of soil sample at three points in three locations, namely Rubber plantation, Teak plantation and Botanical Gardens. The total soil microorganism count is determined by soil organic carbon. The overall number of soil microorganisms increases with soil organic matter. Next, the soil samples are tested in the laboratory for colony total number. The study's findings indicated that the teak plantation had the lowest soil respiration, at21.37±0.9, and the Botanical Garden location had the highest, at29.87±1.91. The high total number of soil microorganisms makes respiration high because it produces high CO2, which is caused by the high activity of the microorganisms in the soil.

Abstract

Cocoa plantations in Central Sulawesi have experienced a decline in productivity due to many plants starting to age, pest and disease attacks, and minimal application of technology. Limited capital causes these problems to be challenging to solve, so the solution is to take credit loan capital. However, many farmers still need to be convinced to take credit. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the differences in cocoa farming income with and without credit and the factors influencing farmers' decisions to take credit. The data used is secondary data from the 2013 Agricultural Census: 2014 Plantation Household Survey. Descriptive analysis is used to describe the characteristics of cocoa farmers in Central Sulawesi. Quantitative analysis is used for farm income analysis, propensity score matching, and logistic regression. The research found that credit positively influenced the income of cocoa farmers in Central Sulawesi. However, it was insignificant because credit was not entirely used to finance productive farming. Factors influencing cocoa farmers' decision to take credit in Central Sulawesi are participation in extension services, cooperative membership, farmer group membership, farmer education level, and land area.

Abstract

The global demand for functional food products is on the rise, with probiotic beverages, including water kefir and kombucha, emerging as the preferred options among consumers. Water kefir is produced through the fermentation of sugar-based solutions by water kefir grains and contains an extensive variety of probiotic microorganisms. Cascara, also known as coffee skin, has been recognized as a viable raw material for functional beverages that possess high antioxidant content. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of the alterations in chemical compounds within cascara during the fermentation process remains insufficient, especially regarding the development of water kefir probiotic beverages. This study aims to identify changes in chemical profiles that occur during fermentation of cascara-based water kefir. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with fermentation times of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The results showed significant increases in total acidity, with lactic acid rising from 2.25% to 8.10% and acetic acid from 1.50% to 5.40%, which correlated with a decrease in pH. Total phenolic content increased from 366.70 mg/L to 514.91 mg/L, while flavonoid content decreased from 703.12 mg/L to 265.62 mg/L. Additionally, tannin and caffeine contents increased significantly during fermentation, on the other hand the sugar content decreased over time. These findings suggest that fermentation enhances the bioactive potential of cascara-based water kefir, improving its antioxidant capacity while altering its flavor and chemical composition. This research contributes to the understanding of cascara's potential for probiotic beverages, providing valuable insights for the development of functional beverages. The suggestion for further research is the need to identify the bioactive effect of cascara water kefir beverages products on health benefit.

Abstract

Farmers have applied fertilization but have not achieved optimal vegetative growth of Tejakula tangerine plants. This study aims to find a combination of fertilization packages that can provide the best response to vegetative growth and improve the soil quality of Tejakula tangerine plants after moving to the field. The research was conducted in Tembok Village, Tejakula District, Buleleng Regency, Bali from  July to December 2023. The experiment used a one-factor Randomized Block Design (RBD) with fertilization package treatment consisting of 3 levels, namely: 5 kg cow manure per tree, 5 kg cow manure + mycorrhizal biofertilizer 20 spores/50 g volcanic sand carrier + probiotic liquid organic fertilizer 20% concentration per tree and 5 kg cow manure + urea 50 g + SP-36 25 g + KCl 20 g per tree. Each treatment was repeated 8 times, resulting in 24 experimental units. Observational data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, and further tests were carried out using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that the fertilizer package treatment had a very significant effect on the variable number of primary branches and leaf P nutrient content, significantly affected the variable number of plant stem diameter and leaf chlorophyll content, but had no significant effect on the variable number of plant height, relative water content (RWC) of leaves and leaf color. The package of cow manure + inorganic fertilizer influenced the vegetative growth of Tejakula tangerine after transplanting to the field very significantly on the increase in primary branches, significantly influenced the increase in plant stem diameter and leaf chlorophyll content. The organic fertilization package + mycorrhizal biofertilizer + probiotic liquid organic fertilizer can improve the soil quality of Tejakula tangerine plants.
