Abstract

Indonesia's horticulture sector has undergone rapid expansion, driven by rising demand from both domestic and international markets. However, small-scale farmers continue to struggle with limited market access, price volatility, and high production costs, affecting their profitability and long-term sustainability. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review of 135 scientific articles to analyze three dominant supply chain models: direct marketing, contract farming, and cooperatives. Direct marketing allows farmers to secure higher prices by bypassing intermediaries but poses challenges in terms of operational scale, financial resources, and market access. Contract farming provides stability through guaranteed pricing, input support, and technical assistance, though profit distribution often favors contracting firms. Meanwhile, cooperatives offer better market access and collective bargaining power but require strong organizational structures to function effectively. The findings emphasize the importance of policies that support farmer education, improve market infrastructure, and encourage fair contractual agreements. Additionally, agribusiness stakeholders must invest in supply chain innovations and risk mitigation strategies to enhance efficiency and transparency. Strengthening these aspects is crucial for fostering a more resilient and sustainable horticultural sector in Indonesia

Abstract

Peatlands in Indonesia play a crucial role in global carbon storage and agricultural productivity. However, their use for agriculture has raised environmental concerns, particularly regarding land degradation, carbon emissions, and fire risks. This study employs a bibliometric approach using Publish or Perish (PoP) and VOSviewer to analyze research trends, dominant topics, and gaps in Indonesian peatland agriculture from 2004 to 2024. Three thousand nine hundred fifty (3,950) publications from Google Scholar were examined to identify thematic clusters and shifts in research focus. The results indicate a significant increase in research on peatland agriculture over the past two decades, with a primary focus on land management, environmental impact, and agricultural commodity adaptation. Oil palm remains the dominant research topic, while studies on alternative crops, horticulture, and sustainable peatland management strategies remain underexplored. Although fire mitigation has gained attention, long-term sustainability approaches and policy-driven land management strategies require further investigation. This study underscores the need for a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to ensure sustainable peatland agriculture. Future research should prioritize the diversification of peat-adaptive crops, precision agriculture technologies, and ecosystem-based restoration methods. Additionally, policymakers must integrate research findings into comprehensive land-use planning to balance agricultural productivity with environmental conservation. Strengthening regulations, incentivizing sustainable practices, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration will be essential for addressing the challenges of peatland agriculture and ensuring its long-term viability.

Abstract

This study evaluates the growth performance and cost-effectiveness of six different seedling media for tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) cultivation: sand (M1), rice husk charcoal (M2), clay (M3), organic fertilizer (M4), clay-organic fertilizer (M5), and sand-organic fertilizer (M6). The experiment assessed plant height, number of leaves, and number of branches from 7 to 35 days after sowing (DAS). Results showed that media containing organic fertilizer (M4, M5, M6) significantly enhanced all growth parameters compared to non-organic treatments. Among these, M5 (clay-organic fertilizer) achieved the highest values for plant height (34.9 cm), number of leaves (15.5), and number of branches (5.5) at 35 DAS, indicating superior performance. However, cost analysis revealed that M5 also incurred the highest production cost. In contrast, M6 (sand-organic fertilizer) offered a more cost-effective option by providing strong growth performance at a lower cost. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating organic fertilizers into seedling media to improve early growth stages of tomato plants. The use of organic blends, particularly M6, presents a practical and sustainable solution for smallholder farmers aiming to maximize seedling vigor without incurring high input costs, ultimately supporting more efficient and eco-friendly agricultural practices.

Abstract

Cattle rumen waste from slaughterhouses holds economic, social, and ecological value when processed into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). The application of this LOF has the potential to improve soil fertility, thereby enhancing plant growth and productivity. A collaborative study between the Agrotechnology Study Program of Universitas Kadiri and the Slaughterhouse Technical Unit (UPTD RPH) of Kediri City was conducted to evaluate the effect of LOF derived from cattle rumen waste on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.). The research was carried out from October 2022 to January 2023 in the greenhouse of the Geophysics Station (BMKG) located in Sawahan Village, Sawahan Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor: LOF dosage, consisting of six treatment levels: D0 (control), D1 (100 ml/plant), D2 (200 ml/plant), D3 (300 ml/plant), D4 (400 ml/plant), and D5 (500 ml/plant) with four replications. Each experimental unit comprised two plants. Observed parameters included plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of branches, and fruit number and weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that the 500 ml/plant dosage had a highly significant effect on plant height and stem diameter, and a significant effect on the number of branches, but no effect on leaf number. Notably, increasing LOF dosage significantly improved fruit number and weight by 27% at 90 days after transplanting (DAT).

Abstract

The difference in farmers' perceptions of using digital marketing as a marketing strategy indicates that not all farmers share the same views, understanding, and readiness to adopt such technology. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of farmers who use and do not use digital marketing, and to examine the factors influencing farmers' decision-making in adopting digital marketing. The research was conducted in Tulungrejo Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City. The research method used was a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 90 farmers, divided into two categories: 54 farmers who use digital marketing and 34 who do not. The first objective was analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis with a Likert scale, while the second objective was examined using binary logistic regression. The results showed that farmers’ perception of digital marketing scored an average of 4.15, categorized as high. The variables of age, motivation, social support, and access to technology significantly influenced farmers’ decisions to use digital marketing, each with a significance value below 0.05. Meanwhile, the variables of education level, farming duration, farming experience, cost, and resource availability did not significantly affect the decision to use digital marketing.

Abstract

Kurma Park Agrotourism is the first date plantation-based artificial tourism in Indonesia. The problem is that the contribution of the number of visitors to Kurma Park Agrotourism to Pasuruan is very low, namely 0.87%. The main focus of this research is to formulate a development strategy for Kurma Park Agrotourism based on local community empowerment. The total respondents of this study were 113 respondents including 4 managers, 12 (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) MSMEs, and 97 visitors. The data analysis method used is descriptive analysis, (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) SWOT and (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) QSPM. The results showed that Kurma Park Agrotourism is in quadrant 2. Hence, the strategy that needs to be applied is the S-T (Strengths Threats) strategy, which shows that although Kurma Park Agrotourism faces various threats, Agrotourism still has strengths from an internal perspective. The strategy that must be applied is to use strengths to take advantage of long-term opportunities using a diversification strategy. There are 5 implications of development strategies that can be carried out by Kurma Park Agrotourism, namely 1) Development of community-based tourism in tourism management. 2) Diversification of processed date products and development of tourism concepts. 3) Development of a sustainable agricultural system. 4) Integrating destinations with exclusive package tours and 5) Increasing digital-based tourism services. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for innovative development strategies to increase tourist visits to Kurma Park Agrotourism and have a positive impact on improving the economy of the surrounding community

Abstract

Converting solid Vermicompost into liquid form is an alternative for garlic cultivation in the Dibawah Lake Solok region, and the cost is cheaper. A preliminary study evaluated the impact of applying solid Vermicompost (0, 5, 10, and 15 t/ha) on garlic growth and yield. A subsequent study examined the effect of applying solid Vermicompost in liquid form using a chitosan solution and identified effective NPK fertilizer doses to optimize local garlic growth and yield. The experimental design was a randomized factorial with NPK doses of 0, 100, and 200 kg/ha and Vermicompost concentrations of 0, 30, 60, or 90 g/L chitosan solution. The preliminary study demonstrated that applying 10 to 15 tons per hectare of solid Vermicompost combined with 100 kilograms per hectare of NPK fertilizer significantly increased garlic yield compared to no solid Vermicompost application. A subsequent study found that varying NPK doses from 0 to 200 kilograms per hectare and Vermicompost from 0 to 90 grams produced similar effects on local garlic growth and yield. However, yields remained lower than those achieved with 15 tons per hectare of solid Vermicompost. In contrast, substituting solid with liquid Vermicompost at all tested concentrations resulted in higher profitability than the 15 tons per hectare solid Vermicompost treatment, particularly for 100 NPK and 60 grams of Vermicompost in chitosan solution. That treatment was more cost-effective for farmers because it increased income by 63% and was more environmentally friendly than the solid form application in the Dibawah Lake Solok region.
