Abstract

The declining number of Tapis craftsmen signifies a waning cultural interest. It is imperative to proactively address the imperative of ensuring the continuity of Tapis Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a means to safeguard Lampung's rich craft heritage in an ever-evolving world. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the business sustainability of Tapis MSMEs within the younger generation, who serve as both successors and conservators of the Lampung Tapis tradition, becomes a necessity. This study is dedicated to evaluating the status of business continuity within the Tapis Jejama Kham MSME, conducted during September-October 2022 in Negeri Katon, Pesawaran, Lampung, Indonesia. The research engaged 32 respondents, all of whom were members of the Tapis Jejama Kham MSMEs, aged between 16 and 30 years. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach with a focus on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) methodology, this study elucidates that the economic aspect, driven by the aspirations of the younger generation to enhance their family's standard of living, predominantly underpins the sustainability of this enterprise.

Abstract

The district of Wonosalam in Jombang, Indonesia, harbors significant potential in the agribusiness sector, with a particular focus on Excelsa coffee. Excelsa coffee is currently being cultivated with the vision of establishing it as a signature commodity of Wonosalam. This study is dedicated to analyzing the value transformation that occurs during the conversion of coffee cherries into green beans, further processing of green beans into roasted beans, and providing recommendations for enhancing added value. The study employed a purposive sampling technique, with data analysis conducted using the Hayami method. Nineteen respondents engaged in Excelsa coffee processing participated in the study. The findings of this study demonstrate that the conversion of cherries into Excelsa coffee green beans and the subsequent transformation of green beans into roasted beans indeed contribute to increased value. Specifically, the added value of green beans for Excelsa coffee amounts to IDR 1,153 per kilogram, while the added value for red-picked Excelsa coffee reaches IDR 4,458 per kilogram. Furthermore, the added value of Random Excelsa coffee roast beans is calculated at IDR 12,525 per kilogram, with red-picked Excelsa coffee roast beans achieving an added value of IDR 35,525 per kilogram. To further enhance the added value of Excelsa coffee, improvements can be made in post-harvest quality and downstream processing of coffee.

Abstract

In the context of Serang, Indonesia, agricultural extension activities have recently faced challenges related to reduced participation, as observed by the majority of agricultural extension officers. This reduced participation manifests through the limited attendance of farmers in meetings, the passive engagement of farmers and their respective groups in facilitating extension activities, and the generally muted response to agricultural technology content presented during these sessions. Conversely, fostering greater participation in agricultural extension activities can be achieved through coordinated efforts with supportive assistance or the provision of incentives. This study aims to assess the significance of agricultural extension activities for wetland rice farmers in Serang, Indonesia. It adopts a qualitative research approach, focusing on the phenomenology of extension activities within the realm of rice farming in Serang. Data analysis for this study employs Husserl's transcendental phenomenology data analysis method, which is incorporated within the interactive model data analysis framework. The information pertaining to the experiences of agricultural extension activities, as recounted by the informants (farmers), was extracted by identifying specific statements made by the farmer informants during interviews. A total of 133 individual verbatim statements provided by informants were systematically categorized. Three overarching themes, or units of meaning, emerged from this categorization, revealing the essence of agricultural extension activities and the informants' perceptions. These themes are as follows: Extension as a Source of Information, Extension as a Source of Technology, and Extension as a Source of Assistance. They encapsulate the texture and structure of the farmers' experiences with rice farming extension activities. The textural description highlights aspects closely linked to the transmission of information, technology, government initiatives, and assistance delivery. The structural aspect examines the meaning of extension activities within the economic, learning, and participation contexts of the participants. Subsequently, the combined meaning and essence of the rice farming extension experiences for each farmer informant are synthesized, collectively painting a comprehensive picture of their experiences. These experiences extend beyond the acquisition of agricultural knowledge and technology; they also encompass the provision of much-needed assistance for farmers to effectively adopt and implement these innovations.

Abstract

This study aims at assessing the performance of agricultural extension services (also known as agricultural advisory services) and the behavior of vegetable farmers while examining the correlation between these two variables. Data were collected through direct interviews, discussions with farmers, and on-site observations conducted in the Terjun region of Medan Marelan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A simple random sampling method was employed, with 48 samples selected without consideration of population strata. This research adopts a descriptive and quantitative qualitative research approach. The findings reveal two key performance indicators for agricultural extension workers. First, the assessment of visits and training indicated an average score of 146.2, with a 76.14% rating, categorizing it as 'good.' Second, the evaluation of the extension workers' performance yielded a similar score of 146.2, also categorized as 'good.' The correlation analysis between farmer behavior and the performance of agricultural extension workers yielded three distinct outcomes. Firstly, the correlation between farmers' knowledge and the performance of extension workers resulted in a value of 0.175, indicating a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05. Secondly, the correlation between farmers' characteristics and the performance of extension workers showed a coefficient of 0.014, suggesting a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05. Lastly, the correlation between farmers' skills and the performance of extension workers resulted in a coefficient of 0.166, denoting a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05.

Abstract

Indonesia has experienced an increase in national population, the Government is targeting rice production of 54.50 million tons in 2023. North Sumatra Province has the largest rice production on the island of Sumatra, 2,088,584 tons. The effectiveness of the Agricultural Extension Service (BPP) in Percut Sei Tuan is of concern to researchers. This research method uses a differential semantic measurement scale or attitude scale to analyze performance data.  The number of samples determined in the research was 10 farmers per village so that the number of samples from all villages was 30 rice farmers with 5-point rating scale and the choices "Very Good" to "Very Poor" with the interval scale formula {a(m-n)}/b and the number of question attributes is 12 points, and the class interval is 9.6. The results performance is in the "Very Good" performance category with an average score of 4.24. However, based on their respective scores of 3.03, there is a low score of 2.53 in the category of agricultural extension officers who do not assist farmers in obtaining agricultural financing, nor do they help market their agricultural products. Extension officers have carried out but are still not optimal with answers from one research category.

Abstract

This study investigates the financial feasibility of large red chili (Capsicum annum L.) farming during both the rainy and dry seasons in Tawangargo, Karangploso, Malang, Indonesia. Many farmers in this region do not thoroughly evaluate the costs and revenues associated with their farming practices, leading to uncertainty regarding the financial feasibility of large red chili farming. The primary aim of this research is to assess the financial feasibility of such farming practices across seasons and to compare their financial viability. The research employs the analysis of the Revenue-to-Cost (R/C) ratio and a paired sample t-test to evaluate the financial feasibility of large red chili farming. Our findings reveal that large red chili farming in both rainy and dry seasons is financially feasible. The R/C ratio for the rainy season is 2.12, and for the dry season, it is 1.51, both of which exceed the critical threshold of 1, indicating the financial feasibility of farming and developing large red chili in this region. The results of the Paired Sample Test demonstrate significant differences in the financial feasibility of large red chili farming between the rainy and dry seasons in Tawangargo, Karangploso, Malang, Indonesia. The average of income per-hectare for large red chili farming is IDR 101,573,764 during the rainy season and IDR 45,393,331 during the dry season.

Abstract

Food security, denoting the adequacy of food supply in terms of both quantity and quality for individuals within a given state, is a critical aspect of societal well-being. This research focuses on assessing the food security status of households engaged in peatland cultivation in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The chosen research site, Siantan Hilir, was purposively selected due to its prominence as a hub for horticultural agricultural production within the sub-district. The study encompassed a population of 719 individuals, with a sample size of 42 respondents determined using the slovin formula. Primary data was procured through the observation and the administration of questionnaires to farmers, supplemented by secondary data. The findings unveiled a noteworthy trend where the household income of farmers exceeded their expenditures. However, a significant challenge emerged in the form of food expenditure constituting 64.86% of the total expenditures, thereby underscoring potential obstacles to maintaining food security. Furthermore, the moderate categorization of energy adequacy and the stark revelation that 88% of households lacked food security underscored the imperative for enhancements in managing food expenditures and refining consumption patterns in Siantan Hilir.

Abstract

This research delves into the pivotal role of quality management in sustaining organic vegetable production, underscoring its profound connection to consumer satisfaction and subsequent impact on purchasing decisions. Within the organic market, predominantly catering to the upper to middle-class demographic in Batu, East Java, Indonesia, consumer preferences dictate heightened product specifications and, consequently, necessitate a focus on quality. To fortify market presence, this study advocates for the direct involvement of organic farmers throughout the entire production-to-marketing continuum, transforming them into not just cultivators but entrepreneurs. In the face of escalating competition, product quality emerges as a paramount subsystem requiring prioritization. The study employs the quality function method for planning and developing pertinent organic vegetable products aligned with consumer interests, identifying areas for improvement. The primary objective is to ascertain consumer demands and devise corrective measures to augment satisfaction. Employing the online survey method, participants were limited to consumers who had purchased organic vegetable products from Batu-based farmers in East Java at least twice. Analyzing the data revealed that consumer prioritized quality attributes encompassed vegetable cleanliness, product pricing, and ease of accessibility. Notably, technical interventions such as the implementation of Good Handling Practices, Internal Control System (ICS), and enhancing service quality during organic vegetable cultivation significantly influenced consumer interest attributes, fostering heightened satisfaction. This study contributes valuable insights for organic farmers and stakeholders seeking to optimize product quality in response to evolving consumer demands.
