Abstract

This study explores the comparative advantages of Indofood’s contract farming model over traditional potato marketing practices in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on price stability and sustainable production. West Java, the country’s leading potato-producing region, has recently faced declining yields and unstable prices that threaten farmer livelihoods. Indofood’s structured partnership addresses these issues by offering guaranteed pricing, input support, and continuous agronomic assistance. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions involving Indofood-affiliated and independent farmers in Garut and Pangalengan. The analysis considered production consistency, income security, crop quality, and farmer perceptions while accounting for external factors such as weather variability and market fluctuations. Findings reveal significant differences between partner and non-partner farmers. Partnership members reported higher yields, more secure prices, and greater income stability, supported by access to Atlantic seed potatoes, fertilizers, and training. These resources reduced pest damage, improved farm management, and minimized market risks. Focus group results showed high satisfaction and trust in Indofood’s contractual commitments, with many farmers benefiting from community development initiatives and eco-friendly practices. Nonetheless, some concerns remain regarding seed availability and buy-back scheduling. The study demonstrates that Indofood’s contract farming model strengthens farmer resilience, enhances productivity, and contributes to rural sustainability. By integrating fixed pricing with farmer capacity building and community support, the model offers a scalable template for agribusiness partnerships in emerging economies seeking to address similar agricultural challenges.

Abstract

Women agripreneurs in East Java are critical in supporting household income and contributing to local economic development, especially in rural and vulnerable areas. However, they often face challenges, including limited resource access, fluctuating markets, and external shocks. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainable livelihood strategies to enhance the resilience of women agripreneurs and examine the mediating role of innovation capability in strengthening resilience amidst digital socio-economic challenges. Using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF), this research explores five key pentagonal assets: human, social, natural, physical, and economic capital. A quantitative method was applied through a survey of 70 women agripreneurs across several regions in East Java. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and VUCA to develop business resilience strategies. The results showed that all five capital assets significantly influence agripreneurial resilience, with social and economic capital playing the most dominant roles. This finding underscores the importance of integrated, asset-based strategies to strengthen women’s adaptive capacity and business sustainability. Meanwhile, Innovative capability does not mediate the sustainable livelihood and resilience strategy. Based on VUCA, the study recommends targeted policies and support programs that enhance women's access to resources, networks, and entrepreneurial skills to build more resilient and inclusive local economies.

Abstract

During Ramadan, demand for palm fruit (kolang kaling) increases by approximately 60%. However, fulfillment of this demand is constrained by the limited availability of palm trees, weak coordination among supply chain actors, and delivery delays. This study aims to describe the overall condition of the palm fruit supply chain and evaluate its performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing qualitative analysis through the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) framework to map the supply chain, and quantitative analysis using the SCOR model to assess performance. Sampling was conducted through purposive sampling, targeting farmers and processors with consistent production, complemented by snowball sampling to reach actors not easily identified through formal data. The findings indicate that the target market for palm fruit extends beyond local consumption to regional markets. The supply chain structure consists of interdependent collaboration among farmers, artisans, intermediaries, wholesalers, and retailers, and is characterized by three principal flows: product, information, and finance. Constraints are evident in the limited availability of technological and equipment resources. Business processes employ push and pull strategies, depending on demand fluctuations. Performance evaluation reveals weaknesses in several indicators, particularly order fulfillment, compliance with quality standards, asset management, and supply chain cost efficiency. These limitations highlight the urgency of establishing an association of palm fruit supply chain actors to strengthen communication and coordination, thereby supporting the development, sustainability, and competitiveness of palm fruit farming.

Abstract

Shallots are essential for Indonesia's economy and food security. In West Sumatra, cultivating shallots in the highlands is more challenging than in the lowlands. Lowland areas have poor Ultisol soil, but its chemical properties can improve with cultivation. Using organic materials, such as goat manure and granular guano with dolomite, is one solution to this problem. Unfortunately, shallot farmers often apply excessive amounts of dolomite. The ideal dosage of guano and dolomite as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium sources must be determined for optimal shallot growth. Using goat manure may reduce the need for other inputs like dolomite. Guano and dolomite combination treatments have never been used on Peking shallot varieties grown on Ultisol soil. This study evaluated the growth and yield responses of Peking variety shallots to dolomite and guano applications on Ultisol soil improved with goat manure as a base fertilizer. The experimental design was two-factorial, completely randomized, with three replications. The first factor was the dolomite dose, with three levels: 0, 2, and 4 tons/ha. The second factor was the dose of granulated guano, with four levels: 0, 100, 200, and 300 kg/ha. All experimental units received goat manure-based fertilizer at a dose of 10 tons/ha. Data were analyzed with ANOVA at 5% confidence, then with Duncan's Multiple Range Test if the treatment had a significant effect. The results showed that applying dolomite and granulated guano did not significantly affect the growth parameters or yield of Peking variety shallots.

Abstract

One of the fruits that is in demand by consumers with a fairly high economic value is melon. Melon plants are native to Africa that have many vitamins and minerals that are useful for body health. Millennial farmers have recently been involved in the hydroponic melon business because it has a high selling value. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the hydroponic cultivation decisions of millennial farmers. The study was conducted in several sub-districts in Sragen Regency, including Gemolong, Plupuh and Masaran. The sampling method was carried out using the Snowball sampling method. This study utilized various data analyzes used for SEM-PLS analysis. This study examined factors influencing farmers’ decisions to cultivate hydroponic melons, focusing on technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects. Respondents were mostly young men with limited experience but high learning potential. Production outcomes varied widely, reflecting diverse capacities. Validity and reliability tests confirmed robust measurement. Effect size and path analysis revealed that decisions were dominantly shaped by technical (f² = 0.819, negative effect) and economic (f² = 0.391, positive effect) factors, while social and cultural aspects were minor. The study highlights technology complexity and economic constraints as key barriers, suggesting training, accessible facilities, and market support as priority strategies.
