Abstract

Indonesia is the world’s largest palm oil producer, where smallholder farmers play a strategic role in sustaining production and the global supply chain. The effectiveness of smallholder plantation management largely depends on the cooperative institutional performance, particularly in terms of the participation of cooperative members. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, motivation, and knowledge on cooperative members' participation in the Konsumen Bersatu Makmur Jaya Cooperative (KBMJ). The data were collected from 86 respondents selected through simple random sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that service quality and knowledge have a positive and significant effect on cooperative members' participation, whereas motivation does not. These findings suggest that improving cooperative service performance and strengthening the knowledge of cooperative members regarding institutional benefits are more effective in enhancing their participation than relying solely on individual motivational factors.

Abstract

One type of coffee plant widely cultivated in Indonesia is robusta coffee. During cultivation, nursery practices are crucial for improving coffee quality and productivity. To obtain good Robusta coffee seedlings, fertilization is essential. The recommended fertilizer is organic, which is more environmentally friendly. Fertilizing with fermented golden apple snail extract supports sustainable agriculture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the concentration, frequency of treatment, and interaction on the growth of hybrid robusta coffee seedlings prolegitim (BP 42 x BP 358). The study was conducted in the field laboratory of Politeknik Negeri Jember for 5 months. This study used a non-factorial RBD with 7 treatments and 6 replications. K0 (Control-0% concentration); K1 (2.5% concentration + application every 4 weeks); K2 (5% concentration + application every 4 weeks); K3 (2.5% concentration + application every 2 weeks); K4 (7.5% concentration + application every 4 weeks); K5 (5% concentration + application every 2 weeks); K6 (7.5% concentration + application every 2 weeks). The observed variables include: Number of Leaves (pairs), Leaf Area Index, Stem Height, and Root Length. The experimental data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by the LSD test at the 5% significance level. The study found that the K2 treatment (5% concentration applied every 2 weeks) produced the optimal growth response, particularly in leaf area, seedling height, and root length.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the readiness for the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) and explore its relationship with product quality and production efficiency in a micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) producing snacks through a single case study approach, which has limitations in terms of generalization. The respondents involved were owners and employees (n = 4) who were selected purposively. TQM readiness was measured using an instrument based on five dimensions, namely customer focus, continuous improvement, employee involvement, leadership, and process management, which were adapted from the TQM conceptual framework and measured using a 1–5 Likert scale. The readiness index was calculated using a simple unweighted average, with the following categories: 1.0–2.0 (not ready), 2.1–3.0 (not very ready), 3.1–4.0 (quite ready), and 4.1–5.0 (ready). Product quality and production efficiency were evaluated based on respondents' views, supported by direct observation of the production process to reduce bias in internal reports. This analysis was performed using descriptive and Spearman's rank correlation statistics. The findings of this study show that the readiness index is 4.00, product quality is 3.66, and production efficiency is 3.16. The identified relationship shows a positive connection between TQM readiness and product quality (ρ = 0.632) and production efficiency (ρ = 0.775). Pareto analysis found three main factors causing production problems—raw material instability (30%), lack of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) (16.67%), and defective products (13.33%)—which contributed to 60% of total incidents. The results of this study provide a readiness profile and identify priority gaps in process management, emphasizing the importance of implementing operational standards to improve production efficiency.

Abstract

Maize is a strategic food commodity in Indonesia, yet smallholder farmers remain vulnerable to high price volatility and market uncertainty that threaten the economic sustainability of farm enterprises. Contract farming has been promoted as a mechanism to stabilize income and strengthen farmers’ market access, but participation remains uneven and may depend not only on structural factors but also on how contract benefits and risks are communicated. This study aims to examine how loss–gain framing affects maize farmers’ intentions to participate in contract farming and to identify the key determinants of actual participation. A quantitative survey was conducted with 120 maize farmers in Jelbuk Subdistrict, Jember Regency, East Java, selected through purposive sampling to represent both contract and independent farmers. Farmers evaluated contract messages framed as potential gains or potential losses using a five-point Likert scale, and differences in responses were assessed using paired non-parametric tests. Binary logistic regression was then applied to explain farmers’ contract participation decisions. The results show that gain-framed messages generated higher intention scores than loss-framed messages across both farmer groups, indicating that benefit-oriented communication is more persuasive. However, participation decisions were more closely associated with farm size, profitability, age, and education than with framing responses alone. These findings suggest that effective contract farming expansion requires both supportive economic conditions and communication strategies emphasizing tangible benefits to enhance farm economic sustainability.

Abstract

Rice is recognized as the principal food commodity for the inhabitants of Manggarai, characterized by high per capita consumption and serving as the main source of energy. This research examined the patterns of rice consumption in Manggarai regency, employing a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and utilizing monthly data from 2020 to 2024. The data-gathering process involved coordination with the Department of Agriculture and Food Security, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Population and Civil Registration Office, and the Manggarai Regency Statistics Bureau. Stationary tests confirmed that the variables were integrated of order one, and Johansen cointegration analysis indicated several long-run equilibrium linkages among rice consumption, food prices, population, and ceremonial festivities. The research implies rice consumption is not significantly affected by short-run fluctuations in food prices, population, or cultural factors. Instead, adjustment occurs through the long-run equilibrium mechanism. In the long run, rice consumption is significantly influenced by rice prices, demographic changes, and ceremonial practices: rising rice prices reduce consumption, population growth increases demand, and cultural rituals suppress consumption. These outcomes emphasize the need for policies that stabilize food prices, promote dietary diversification, and integrate demographic and cultural considerations into regional food security strategies.

Abstract

Food security is a strategic issue that has become a priority for sustainable development. Jember Regency, as one of the rice production centres in East Java, faces various challenges in realising sustainable food security. This research aims to explore and analyse adaptation strategies and risk management in paddy agribusiness by employing a paddy prediction interpretation approach as the basis for food governance planning. The research utilises a descriptive-exploratory qualitative approach with an interpretivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with various informants, including farmers, farmer group administrators, agribusiness practitioners, officials from the Department of Agriculture, agricultural extension workers, and academics. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Agriculture of Jember Regency. Data analysis employed a thematic analysis approach following Miles and Huberman. The research findings indicate that Jember Regency maintains a consistent surplus in paddy production, averaging approximately 30,000 tonnes per annum. Paddy agribusiness actors face production risks, price risks, institutional risks, financial risks, and personal risks. The adaptation strategies implemented encompass technical, economic, social, and institutional strategies. The utilisation of paddy prediction interpretation in planning remains suboptimal, with an information access gap between policy and operational levels. This research recommends the development of an integrated food security information system, strengthening multi-stakeholder coordination, increasing investment in agricultural infrastructure, and developing social protection schemes to reinforce sustainable food security in Jember Regency.

Abstract

Indonesia is an agrarian country where agricultural land plays an important role in ensuring food security. However, the increasing conversion of paddy fields into oil palm plantations has raised concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of rice production in major rice-producing regions. This study aims to analyze the process of paddy land conversion into oil palm plantations, identify the factors influencing farmers’ decisions, and formulate strategies to control land conversion in Muara Padang Sub-district, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The study employed a mixed-methods approach combining field surveys, structured interviews, binary logistic regression analysis, and SWOT analysis. A total of 92 farmers were selected as respondents using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. The respondents were 46 rice farmers and 46 oil palm farmers, selected through quota sampling. The results indicate that land conversion occurs through several stages, including land evaluation, economic and social considerations, and land conversion implementation. Binary logistic regression analysis shows that farm income significantly influences farmers’ decisions to convert paddy fields into oil palm plantations (p = 0.025). The model demonstrates good fit based on the Hosmer–Lemeshow test (p = 0.764) and explains 91.9% of the variation in land conversion decisions (Nagelkerke R² = 0.919). The SWOT analysis places the land conversion control strategy in Quadrant I (Strength–Opportunity), indicating that internal strengths can be utilized to maximize existing opportunities. These findings suggest that improving rice farming productivity, strengthening farmer institutions, and providing economic incentives are essential to maintain sustainable paddy land and support national food self-sufficiency. This study contributes to the understanding of farmers’ land-use decisions and provides strategic policy recommendations for controlling agricultural land conversion in rice-producing regions.
