Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the price fluctuations of strategic food items, specifically rice and cayenne pepper, in NTT Province, and to examine the correlation between these price changes and the farmer exchange rate in the region. Fluctuations in the prices of food goods in substantial volumes can significantly impact the inflation rate. The study that was conducted made use of secondary data, which was collected from the NTT Provincial Central Statistics Agency. These data were in the form of a time series. The coefficient of variation and multiple linear regression analysis were two of the analytical methodologies that were used. The price of cayenne pepper undergoes substantial fluctuations over time. The price of rice and NTP exhibit a significant positive correlation, indicating that an increase in rice prices is associated with an increase in NTP, consistent with the positive coefficient observed in the regression equation. This research suggests that the government should address fluctuations in rice and cayenne pepper prices by enhancing production and effectively managing supply and demand, thereby improving income and welfare.

Abstract

This study assessed the impact of post-harvest losses on the profitability of rice processors in Benue State, Nigeria. The objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of rice processors, estimate the extent of post-harvest losses, and analyze their influence on profitability. A total of 150 rice processors were selected using a combination of purposive, multi-stage, and simple random sampling techniques, with Taro Yamane’s formula guiding the determination of the sample size. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. Results showed that the average age of the processors was 41 years, with 47.33% being married and 74.67% having a formal education. Most processors (44.67%) handled between 7 and 10 bags of 100 kg weekly, and 36.67% had 10–15 years of processing experience. Inadequate drying facilities accounted for the highest post-harvest losses (61.56 kg or 25.60%), while pest and rodent damage contributed the least (30.14 kg or 12.53%). Gross margin analysis revealed an average gross income of ₦90,000 per 100 kg bag and a net farm income of ₦10,467. Regression analysis (adjusted R² = 0.59) identified key determinants of losses and profitability, with milling technology, labor, drying, and transportation showing significant adverse effects on losses. The scale of operation and rice prices significantly enhanced profitability. The study recommends investments in modern processing technologies, improved infrastructure, and training to reduce losses and boost profitability.

Abstract

The role of ITPC (Indonesia Trade Promotion Center) as an export promotion agency has begun to be questioned due to the fluctuation in Indonesia's non-oil and gas export value. Some of the ITPCs are in major importing countries of Indonesian cocoa. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing Indonesian processed cocoa exports (HS1803/cocoa paste) to major importing countries, with a focus on the effect of ITPC, Indonesia's export promotion agency, in foreign countries. The types of data used are secondary data from 2005 to 2022, which involve the top seven importing countries: Malaysia, China, India, the United States, Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines. The data were analyzed using the gravity model. The data were obtained from various sources, including Statistics Indonesia, the World Bank, WITS, the Ministry of Industry, and other relevant institutions. Data processing was conducted by using panel data regression with EViews 10. Real exchange rate and the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) had a positive and significant impact on Indonesia's processed cocoa exports The ITPC dummy variable in the estimation of the model has a coefficient of 1.047, which means that if there is an ITPC in the destination importing country, the export value of Indonesian cocoa will be higher by as much as 104.7 percent compared to the importing destination country without ITPC Generally, the result of this research can be a recommendation to continue the existence of ITPC. The presence of ITPC will establish market intelligence and facilitate the export of processed cocoa to importing countries.

Abstract

The decrease in the number of male workers in the rural shallot agricultural sector, including in Enrekang Regency, has encouraged the increasing role of women as farm laborers. However, their involvement is often faced with a double problem, namely, low levels of education, unequal access to resources, and the burden of domestic roles that go hand in hand with productive responsibilities. This study aims to analyze the socio-economic dynamics of women farm workers, especially related to work motivation, wage system, dual role adaptation strategies, and social relationships with landowners in the shallot farming system. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study design in Banti Village, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques, consisting of 15 female farm workers (aged 40–60 years) and five productive landowners. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation over two harvest cycles, and document studies, then analyzed using the Miles-Huberman interactive model with source triangulation techniques. The results show that the primary motivation of female farm workers is to meet the economic needs of their families, even though they have a low educational background. The mutually agreed daily wage system is considered fair and capable of creating social stability. In addition, trust-based recruitment patterns, harmonious relationships with landowners, and the provision of non-material benefits strengthen social capital in agricultural communities. Time management strategies and family support, especially from husbands, allow women to remain productive despite taking on dual roles. These findings underscore the importance of gender-responsive and local wisdom-based policies to improve the welfare of women farm workers and the sustainability of small-scale farming systems in rural areas.

Abstract

Functional food products play a crucial role in maintaining human health. One such functional food product that benefits digestive health is probiotic products. Banana "Loka Pere" can be the primary raw material for probiotic products. The monosaccharide and fiber content in the banana "Loka Pere" can serve as substrates for probiotic bacteria. A probiotic fermented smoothie made from banana "Loka Pere" is one such example of a probiotic product. Smoothies were chosen for their superior fiber composition, which remains intact due to the absence of fruit fiber filtration. This study examines and analyzes the growth ability of probiotics through the fermentation process in smoothies made from "Loka Pere" bananas, focusing on the parameters of pH, total acid, and the number of probiotic bacteria. The variables used included variations in probiotic powder (Lacto B and L-Bio) and variations in fermentation time (0 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours) with three replications. The analysis results showed significant differences in pH, total acid, and probiotic count. The results showed that the use of L-Bio probiotic powder and 48 hours of fermentation time provided the best results, with a pH value of 3.81, a total acid content of 0.69%, and several probiotic bacteria at a log of 7.65 CFU.mL–1.

Abstract

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is well-known for its ability to thrive in sunlight. However, the capacity to tolerate shade when cultivated as an intercrop is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the tolerance limit of shade to the growth and production of lemongrass oil. A completely randomized design was used, with the treatment design varying by level of shade: control (without shade), 25%, 50%, and 75% shade. The parameters observed were light intensity, plant height, number of tillers, fresh weight of herbs, leaf thickness, leaf chlorophyll, and essential oil content. The results showed that 75% shade reduced light intensity by 75.38%, the number of tillers by 50.86%, fresh weight by 22.39%, leaf thickness by 31.91%, leaf chlorophyll by 54.96%, and essential oil content by 48%. The relationship pattern between shade and fresh weight of herbs was Y = -0.00733X2 + 0.3633X + 340.44, with a correlation of 0.70 and a determinant of 83.70%. Meanwhile, the relationship pattern between shade and leaf chlorophyll content was Y = -0,00029X2 +0.0093 + 47.26, with a correlation of 0.9681 and a determinant of 98.3%. In conclusion, lemongrass planted as an intercrop can tolerate 25% shade, as evidenced by its growth indicators and essential oil production.

Abstract

High evaporation in coastal areas leads to salt accumulation in the soil, elevating soil salinity. Tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) are one of the ideal plants for evaluating saline soil amelioration strategies. Inadequate saline soil treatment is an obstacle for farmers in developing their agricultural practices. Therefore, saline soil remediation using biochar was conducted to reduce soil salinity levels. The study was conducted using a non- factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and 4 treatments, namely B0 (control), B1 (50 grams of biochar), B2 (100 grams of biochar), and B3 (150 grams of biochar) with observation parameters of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and number of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) spores. The results of this study showed that biochar had no significant effect on plant growth and the number of spores in tomato roots. Therefore, based on the study's results, the use of biochar in tomato growing media did not significantly affect plant growth parameters or the number of AMF spores in the growing media. Various factors, including environmental conditions and interactions between the growing media and host plants, may influence this. Recommended that further research be conducted on the process of producing biochar using anaerobic pyrolysis or closed pyrolysis methods. This is important because anaerobic combustion can produce more stable biochar.

Abstract

The quality of a human's life is influenced by the nutrients they consume. In line with this statement, climate change, such as extreme rainfall or prolonged dry seasons, impacts crop yields and agricultural productivity. It is suspected that this will change food consumption levels because it affects local food availability and community income from agricultural products. This study aims to determine the level of food consumption and the adaptation strategies in the Research area, Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. The analysis used the Food Consumption Score (FCS) and the Coping Strategy Index (CSI). The results show that all households have a FCS in the high category, with an average value of 81. Despite this, food consumption is still dominated by cereals, especially rice, and animal protein sources such as fish, while other food groups, such as fruits, nuts, and dairy products, are still low in frequency. The most common CSI for the local community in the midst of climate change issues is reducing food consumption, replacing food with cheaper alternatives, borrowing food from family and relatives, and taking on additional work. Another strategy is for the local community to encourage family members to work outside the community.
