Abstract

Ornamental plants are cultivated or grown for their aesthetic value, including the beauty of their flowers, leaves, or the entire plant. These plants are commonly found in home gardens or yards. The development of ornamental plant farming requires the role of agricultural institutions. Agricultural institutions play crucial role in modernization of agriculture. This study aims to understand institutional system, the role of agricultural institutions, and the impact of the Tani Makmur Farmer Group Association on ornamental plant farmers in Nglurah Village. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach in Nglurah Village. Informants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The study involved 14 informants, including farmers group association stakeholders, agricultural officers, and ornamental plant traders. Validity was ensured through source and method triangulation, and data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis method. The results showed that Nglurah Village has an institutional system that supports the sustainability of ornamental plant farming. Farmers group association in Nglurah Village has procedures, management, and roles. Farmers group association in Tawangmangu Sub-district plays various roles in developing ornamental plant farming, including acting as a liaison between farmer groups and the government, providing farming capital, offering information or facilitation to groups, and establishing partnerships with other business units. These roles have social impacts on farmers, such as improved relationships and harmony, as well as economic impacts, including easier access to capital. There is a need to enhance each institution to ensure that the management system operates more effectively and achieves the goals of the Tani Makmur Farmer Group Association.

Abstract

Relationship between Characteristics and Farmer Participation in Corporate Farming Program in Kuwarasan Sub-District, Kebumen Regency. The Corporate Farming Program aims to consolidate small landholdings and enhance production efficiency through institutional support, technology, and market access. The success of this program heavily depends on farmer participation, which is influenced by characteristics such as age, education, land size, farming experience, and income. This study aims to examine the characteristics of farmers, their participation levels, and the relationship between them in the Corporate Farming Program in Kuwarasan Sub-district. The research method used is quantitative with a correlational descriptive design. The research sample consists of 30 farmers randomly selected from 92 program participants. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS 27 to identify factors influencing farmer participation. The relationship between farmer characteristics and participation shows that non-formal education has a positive and significant influence on all stages of participation. Farm income also positively influences the planning and utilization stages, while non-farm income tends to reduce participation. Farming experience has a positive influence on the utilization stage. These findings suggest that enhancing non-formal education and farm income can increase farmer participation in the program. Based on the research results, it is recommended that the Agriculture and Food Agency of Kebumen Regency and the Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) of Kuwarasan enhance land consolidation and mentoring strategies to maximize farmer participation. Farmers are also encouraged to be more active in farmer group activities, while successful farmer groups can organize workshops or exhibitions to attract other farmers. Local governments are expected to facilitate access to services for farmer groups. Thus, the Corporate Farming Program can be more effective in empowering smallholder farmers and improving agricultural productivity in Kuwarasan Sub-district.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the attitude of smallholders towards the pruning process in oil palm plants in the Babalan Sub-district and to analyze the significance of the relationship between various factors and the attitude of farmers towards pruning in oil palm plants in the region. The research took place in Babalan Sub-district, Langkat Regency, from April to June 2022. The method used is descriptive with a quantitative approach. The total population of farmers involved in this study is 307 people who are working on oil palm plantations. They come from 2 villages, including South and North Securai Village. In South Securai, there are 5 farmer groups: Giat, Tani Jaya, Saolohan, Tani Jaya 1 and Tekun. In North Securai, there are 2 farmer groups: Bina Tani and Tuah Johor. This research instrument uses the Likert and Spearman Rank correlation scales for questionnaire data collection. The research found that 78.7% of smallholders had prejudices toward oil palm trimming. While the value of t-count > t-table as a result of the correlation of Spearman Rank states that between the age factor (t-count 2.159 > t-table 1.993), land area (t-count 3.078 > t-table 2.644) and the role of extension workers (t-count 5.626 > t-table 2.644) to the level of attitude of smallholders has a significant relationship. The implications of age, land area and the role of extension workers from the attitude of smallholders determine that oil palm pruning increases sustainable palm oil productivity.

Abstract

The Role of Farmer Group Leader in the Application of Organic Fertilizer for Cayenne Pepper Cultivation. The application of organic fertilizer is strongly influenced by the direction and support of a leader, especially the head of a farmer group. This study aims to analyze the role of the farmer group leader in the application of organic fertilizer and identify obstacles faced by members. A descriptive qualitative research method was employed, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were determined purposively, consisting of 1 group leader, 13 members, and 1 Agricultural Extension Officer (PPL). Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, which includes data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was tested through source triangulation. The results show the group leader plays several roles. The liaison role involves bridging information between members, PPLs, farmers, and consumers. The leader’s role is evident in efforts to maintain group cohesion and manage the legality of organic fertilizer products. The monitoring role is carried out through overseeing and gathering information related to organic fertilizer. The dissemination role is carried out by providing information to members, while the spokesperson role is demonstrated by conveying the group’s needs to external parties. Additionally, the leader plays an entrepreneurial role by introducing innovations to members and is involved in problem-solving, resource allocation, and negotiation with PPLs, consumers, and local government. The obstacles faced by members include natural factors such as rain that hinders drying of raw materials, lack of drying equipment, limited member understanding, and limited availability of raw materials.

Abstract

Biopharmaceuticals are a type of plant that can be used as medicine. Developing farming for a commodity requires the role of various parties, one of which is agricultural institutions. Agricultural institutions are an important element in agricultural modernization and supporting farming in Trosono Village, which is known as a producer of biopharmaceutical commodities, especially ginger and turmeric. This research aims to determine the system, the role of institutions, and the impact of institutional roles on agriculture in the development of biopharmaceutical farming in Trosono Village. The research used a qualitative descriptive method and the determination of informants was carried out purposively and snowballing with a total of 13 informants consisting of administrators of agribusiness microfinance institutions, farmer group administrators, extension workers, middlemen, farmers and village heads. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis, then data validity was carried out using source triangulation and method triangulation techniques. The results of the research show that Trosono Village has an institutional system for both agricultural input and output, namely the Agribusiness Microfinance Institution, the Association of Farmer Groups, the Agricultural Extension Center and middlemen who work with each other in relation to biopharmaceutical farming. Each institution has a role that is demonstrated in the activities of each institution. However, in terms of institutional conditions in Trosono Village, it is still not optimal in accordance with the existing ideal conditions. The role of institutional activities in developing farming has a social impact on farmers such as improving relations, harmony and economic impacts in the form of easy access to capital, subsidies and marketing, so there has been no improvement in economic conditions. Coordination and assistance between agricultural institutions for biopharmaceutical commodities is needed so that a synergy arises in the implementation of programs and activities in the context of increasing biopharmaceutical commodities.

Abstract

Factors Influencing the Adoption Level of Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus sp.) Agribusiness on Peatland in Kalampangan Village, Palangka Raya City. Many studies have examined dragon fruit; however, research focusing specifically on its cultivation within peatland ecosystems remains limited, presenting several gaps. Previous studies have also produced inconsistent findings regarding the factors that influence agribusiness adoption, indicating the need for further investigation to gain a deeper understanding of the determinants driving farmers’ adoption of dragon fruit innovations in peatland environments. This study aims to classify and analyze the influence of farmer accessibility, farmer attitudes, motivation, self-efficacy, and the role of agricultural extension workers on the adoption level of dragon fruit agribusiness in peatland areas of Kalampangan Village, Sebangau Sub-district, Palangka Raya City. The research site was selected purposively due to the presence of farmers actively engaged in dragon fruit agribusiness systems. Respondents were randomly selected, comprising 60 farmers. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and descriptive statistical methods. The findings revealed that farmer accessibility, motivation, self-efficacy, and the role of extension workers were categorized as very high. In contrast, farmers’ attitudes and adoption levels fell into the high category. Furthermore, the results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that farmer accessibility, self-efficacy, and the role of agricultural extension workers had a significant influence on the adoption of agribusiness system innovations. Meanwhile, the attitudes and motivation of farmers were found to have no significant effect.
