International Journal of Agriculture System (Int. J. Agr. Syst.- IJAS) is published by Hasanuddin University (UNHAS) twice a year in June and December. This journal is an academic, citation indexed, and blind peer-reviewed journal. It covers original research articles, short notes and communications, reviews (including book), concepts, commentaries, and letters on a diverse topic related to agricultural systems including forestry, fishery/marine, and animal sciences. The aims of this journal are to provide a venue for academicians, researchers, and practitioners to share/discuss theories, views, research results, on issues related to the science, engineering and technology, and humanities in agriculture development, management, and issues in agricultural systems, particularly in the tropics. However, any other articles related to non-tropical agricultural systems are also welcome.

Abstract

This paper discusses the value chain in cocoa marketing activities that occur in cocoa farmers to cocoa bean processing institutions. The typological approach is carried out to find out the relationships that are established in each chain starting from the farmers as the first chain (producers) to the processing institutions. An efficient marketing process is one of the objectives of cocoa marketing activities.  Value chain governance can illustrate typological coordination patterns that are related to each actor and show the type or type of governance type of each chain involved in marketing cocoa beans. Value chain governance (VCGs) is used to (1) identify the value chain and (2) determine the type of governance that is established in the cocoa market. So that we can know the conditions and types of governance that occur in the marketing of cocoa from the farmer to the final consumer. The method used is the analyze of VCGs by selecting a sample in a snowball sampling and calculating based on existing variables (complexity, codified, and capability). The results showed that through the VCGs approach which resulted in (1) there are 3 value chains with types of governance in cocoa marketing activities and (2) there are 3 value chains with types of governance, namely the value chain 1 (farmers–collectors-exporters) shows the Market type, value chain 2 (farmers-exporters) in Relational type, and value chian 3 in Hierarchy type (farmers-processing). Market type occurs if the value of complexity in low score, codification and capability gets a high score, Relational occurs if complexity and capability are in high value and the codification value is low, and Hierarchy occurs when the complexity is high but the codification and capability are low.

Abstract

Several problems deal with Canavalia ensiformis cultivations. They are the low-price competitiveness, the absence of processing industries and appropriate agricultural technology controlled by the farmers, the absence of fostering of farmers, especially in terms of marketing and postharvest processing.Therefore, the study explore how the role and function of coordination in institutions is needed as a solution for developing Canavalia ensiformis cultivation? The research was conducted from March to August 2019, using the survey method. Data collection is done through an expert system / or practitioner approach. The data obtained were analyzed using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) method. The results show that the existing institutions have not understood their roles and functions in the development of Canavalia ensiformis cultivation. This is an indication of the weak coordination function. The weak function of coordination is a result of weak understanding of the visions, low institutional knowledge and conflict between institutions. The results of the ISM analysis show that there are two key strategic programs in developing the commodity of Canavalia ensiformis, namely human resource and marketing development. These two sub-elements are institutional indicators. Therefore strengthening institutional functions is still needed in the development of Canavalia ensiformis cultivation.

Abstract

Nepal is developing country and it’s economic mainly based on Agricultural sector. A large number of people are relying on agriculture sector. However, still some districts are suffering from food deficit and huge amount of food items import from neighboring countries as well as others countries. In these reason, the Nepalese export import trade is unbalance. In this condition, this paper is trying to identify the role of agriculture sector in foreign trade of Nepal. For these purpose, we have used the secondary data and using the descriptive methods for getting the results. The analysis of data showed that imports of agricultural products are increasing from neighboring country as well as others countries. Two third amounts of agricultural products have imported from India and remaining portion from others countries. Due to large amount of imported agricultural product, Nepalese foreign trade is unbalanced. So policy maker should be focused on development of agriculture field, concerning policy and programs of this sector and pattern of foreign trade should be revised and reformed by the diversification, modernization, instrument-focused agriculture system, which could help to reduce trade deficit and keep it in certain trade balance of Nepal.

Abstract

Nitrate and phosphate nutrient and the other oceanographical parameter are part of an indicator to evaluate the quality of the water environment. Our research aims to determine the nitrate and phosphate levels in the water and sediment along the Pangkep coastal area. The research was conducted in February 2018 in coastal Pangkep using five sampling stations. Physico-chemical parameters of the water, such as temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured directly, whereas nitrate and phosphate parameters were analyzed using a spectrophotometer. In addition, nitrate and phosphate parameters from the sediment were measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The sediment nitrate values ranged from 0.026-0.442 mg/L, and the water nitrate values ranged from 0.018-0.063 mg/L. Moreover, the phosphate values from sediment ranged from 0.019-0.306 mg/L, and the phosphate values from the water ranged from 0.13-0.056 mg/L. The results show decreasing values of nitrate and phosphate concentration in the water and sediment starting from the estuary to the sea. The highest values were indicated in the estuary, which represents a eutrophic condition in the environment. Nutrient enrichment in coral reefs occurs and mixes with oceanographic conditions resulting in oxygen depletion and changes in benthic community structure.

Abstract

This study contributes to the improvement of knowledge of farmers based on reproductive technology training interventions in terms of knowing that signs of lust, how to administer hormones to cause uniformity of lust or estrus or prostaglandin, and to know the exterior shape of productive female beef cattle. This study uses a pre-test and post-test model approach through training interventions. Also using mixed method research is a methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. This method allows researchers to present qualitative studies through descriptive explanations and also quantitatively through numbers, tables, graphs, charts and statistical data. For the measurement scale to quantify qualitative data, the measurement scale is Likert 3 levels. The results show that training interventions can improve the knowledge or skills and expertise of beef cattle farmers in terms of reproductive technology and minimize the dependence of farmers on extension workers.
