Abstract

This research seeks to outline the profile of farmers in Tanjung Lapang Village, determine the factors that shape the technical efficiency of rice farming, and assess the level of technical efficiency in rice cultivation (Oryza sativa L.) within the village in West Malinau District. The study is needed to measure the efficiency of input utilization and to determine the variables that shape productivity outcomes. This study focuses on examining the production factors involved in rice paddy farming and evaluating the technical effectiveness of the cultivation process. The study was conducted in the West Malinau subdistrict from January to February 2024. The method used was probability sampling, with 50 farmers selected as respondents. Information was obtained through interviews, observations, and recorded images, with questionnaires as the main instrument. The dataset was analyzed using descriptive methods, multivariate regression, and a production elasticity approach to determine how each input influences agricultural output. The results indicate that land size and chemical nutrient use are the most decisive factors in shaping rice production. In contrast, the combined contributions of land, seeds, chemical nutrients, Plant protection chemicals, and human resources account for 47.6% of yield variation, with the remainder influenced by external factors such as weather, soil conditions, water availability, and technology adoption. The elasticity value below one reflects diminishing proportional returns, where additional inputs yield increasingly smaller output gains. These findings provide a strategic basis for guiding farmers to optimize resource allocation and adopt targeted interventions, such as balanced chemical fertilization, improved cultivation practices, and better land and pest management, to enhance sustainable productivity.

Abstract

One of the main agricultural products in Banyumas Regency is still rice. Nonetheless, low profitability and farming efficiency result from most farmers in the area paying little attention to production input efficiency. This research aims to determine the factors influencing the income of rice farmers in the area and assess the profitability of rice farming in Kembaran District, Banyumas Regency. Fifty rice farmers were specifically chosen to participate in the study as respondents. The data was analyzed using the one-sample t-test, multiple linear regression, and profitability analysis. The findings indicate that rice cultivation in Kembaran District is financially feasible and generates a return greater than the 2.5% BRI deposit interest rate threshold, with an average profitability of 3.33%. Furthermore, regression analysis reveals that while the price of fertilizer and pesticide does not affect farmers' income, the price of labor and seed has a significant impact. These results suggest that rice cultivation in Kembaran District provides a higher rate of return than bank deposits. Farmers are advised to modify their production inputs to reduce expenses and increase revenue to maximize profitability further.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as an archipelagic country with vast marine potential. International trade has been a key driver of rapid economic growth. Economic integration among ASEAN countries has brought significant benefits, particularly in the fishery products sector. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the flow of fishery trade among ASEAN countries. The total number of data observations is 100, with the central destination countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, East Timor, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos. The research employs panel data from ASEAN member states covering the period from 2003 to 2022, including variables such as each ASEAN country's GDP, GDP per capita, population, exchange rates, and economic distance. The analysis is conducted using the gravity model approach, with the Random Effects Model (REM) applied to process the data. The findings reveal that the exchange rate has a positive and significant effect on fishery trade flows among ASEAN countries. This suggests that currency fluctuations play a key role in facilitating trade. Conversely, economic distance has a negative and significant effect, indicating that greater geographical and economic gaps between countries hinder the volume of fishery trade. However, other variables, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and population, do not exhibit a statistically significant impact on fishery trade flows. These results underscore the importance of exchange rates and geographical proximity in shaping trade patterns within the ASEAN fishery sector. The study provides empirical evidence that while macroeconomic indicators such as GDP and population size are often considered critical in trade analysis, their influence on fishery trade flows among ASEAN countries is limited. Understanding the role of these factors is essential for evaluating trade dynamics and addressing challenges in regional fishery trade.

Abstract

The problems that occur in the tapioca flour supply chain, in general, are the availability of raw materials that only rely on the season, which is known that the cassava harvesting process takes about 8 to 9 months, meaning that the average harvest is done once a year, in addition to the availability of raw materials that are difficult to relate to price fluctuations, so that if there is a problem of raw material supply shortages, it will hamper the production process which can cause delays in delivery so that it is not following the agreed contract, supply management, low yield rates and lack of distribution chain efficiency involving chain actors to consumers. This research aims to identify key elements in the tapioca starch supply chain, from farmers' suppliers to processing companies, and evaluate the performance of each element of the supply chain, which was conducted from August to December 2024. The data collection technique used was interviews with mapping of supply chain activities carried out through observation and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) methods. The study's respondents were 20, located in Lampung Province (Central Lampung and Pesawaran Districts). The research method used to analyze supply chain conditions using the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) with qualitative descriptive analysis identifies five supply chain components, including its structure, objectives, management, resources, and business processes, alongside performance analysis using Supply Chain Operation References (SCOR) with several attributes such as reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, and supply chain asset management. The novelty of this research is that it combines two analytical tools, namely FSCN and SCOR, to find out the detailed conditions of the company. The findings obtained after conducting the research are the condition and performance of each company in the superior category.

Abstract

Local maize serves as a vital source of both food security and household income across various regions of Indonesia, particularly in Sumenep, Madura. However, efforts to sustain agricultural livelihoods are increasingly challenged by a range of risks. One of the most pressing issues is the growing prevalence of hybrid maize cultivation in Madura, which has adversely affected local farmers who continue to grow traditional maize varieties to meet their subsistence needs. Given these challenges, farmers need to develop and implement strategic responses by leveraging their available livelihood assets in order to mitigate risks and adopt adaptation strategies suited to their specific context. This study aims to develop a risk management and adaptation framework for maize farmers in the Guluk-Guluk area of Madura, taking into account their livelihood assets. The research was conducted in Guluk-Guluk, a location purposively selected based on regional differences in maize productivity. The study took place from October 2023 to March 2024 and involved 51 local maize farmers selected via random sampling with a 1% margin of error. The study assessed several forms of farmers' resources, including labor capacity, material assets, community networks, environmental conditions, and economic means, along with their adjustment practices, such as diversifying activities and modifying planting timelines. Risk variables included technological and natural risks. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The findings indicate that the resources supporting farmers' livelihoods play a meaningful and beneficial role in shaping how corn growers in the area manage risks and adjust their practices. The findings also indicate that the most commonly adopted adaptation strategy is diversification. Technological risk emerged as the most significant risk faced by farmers, while financial capital was found to be the most influential asset in supporting risk response and adaptation efforts.

Abstract

Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia as it utilizes natural resources and agricultural potentials, such as natural landscape and rural culture, as its main attractions. North Sumatra Province has iconic tourist attractions, such as Lake Toba, Sipiso Piso waterfall, and Agritourism, such as Sidamanik Tea plantation, Berastagi Botanical Garden and Sawah Lukis agritourism in Binjai. Sawah Lukis Agritourism has experienced a significant increase in tourist visits. Due to the high competition in Agritourism, the management should accommodate tourist expectations to achieve tourist satisfaction. Tourists' satisfaction is influenced by tourism attraction and service quality. This research explores and investigates the key drivers of tourist satisfaction in Sawah Lukis Agritourism. Accidental sampling was employed to select 102 visitors of Sawah Lukis Agritourism. Data was gathered from October to December 2024. Variables measured were tourist attractions and service quality as the exogenous variables and tourist satisfaction as the endogenous variable. The exogenous variables had 29 measurement indicators, and the endogenous variable had six measurement indicators. Data analysis was performed using SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square) assisted by WarpPLS 7.0 software. The result showed that the constructed model was fit and fulfilled the outer and inner model criteria. The findings of this study indicate that all the key variables, which were tourism attraction and service quality, were key-driven and had a positive significant influence on the tourist satisfaction of Sawah Lukis Agritourism. The enhancement of tourist satisfaction can be accomplished by adding a cultural touch to tourist attractions, improving the local cultural heritage performance, and improving infrastructure and accommodation to facilitate tourist access. Policy recommendations and suggestions are required to improve Agritourism.

Abstract

Indonesia's strategic geographical position and tropical climate provide optimal conditions for various plantation commodities, tobacco being a key contributor to the national economy. Despite its significant role in exports and state revenue through excise taxes, fluctuations in Tobacco Excise Duty (CHT) rates have raised concerns about their impact on farmers' income and global competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the comparative competitiveness of tobacco commodities under HS codes 2401.10 (manufactured tobacco or tobacco remnants from primary tobacco that are not stemmed/stripped), 2401.20 (tobacco that is partly or wholly stemmed/stripped), and 2401.30 (tobacco refuse). The method used to measure the comparative competitiveness of each tobacco HS category is by calculating the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) value. The observation period and central destination countries were determined purposefully, considering 2014 was when the trial increase in national cigarette excise was implemented. The data range in this study spans from 2014 to 2022 (time series), and the central destination countries were determined based on the ranking of countries with the highest tobacco export value from Indonesia each year. Indonesia's tobacco exports showed dynamic trends between 2014 and 2022, with Sri Lanka, Belgium, and the Dominican Republic emerging as the leading destinations for HS codes 2401.10 and 2401.20, while the United States, Vietnam, and Malaysia dominated under HS code 2401.30. Despite its strong competitiveness, fluctuations in export volumes and declining selling prices, especially in the Dominican Republic, indicate the influence of global market conditions, regulatory frameworks, and changing demand patterns. These findings underscore the importance of adaptive trade strategies to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global tobacco market.

Abstract

Rural farmers face challenges accessing agricultural information and inputs, affecting their livelihoods. This study addresses the gap in digital device availability among farmers around Okomu forest reserve, Edo State. There was a three-staged multistage sampling technique used for the selection of 20 respondents from four (4) surrounding settlements, namely Sikoloba, Iguefolo, Okomu, and Agbonmoba, resulting in a total of 80 (eighty) respondents in May to October 2024 around Okomu reserve. The objectives examined were demographic characteristics of farmers, types of ICT devices used, extent of radio and mobile phone usage, and the influence of these technologies. The study adopted a well-structured questionnaire for data collection and analysis using frequencies, chi-square, and PPMC. Consequently, demographics revealed that about 64.0% of the respondents were men. ICT devices such as radio, television, and mobile phones significantly improved farmers' income and knowledge, exposing them to modern maize farming techniques through agricultural programs, documentaries, and farmer-to-farmer communication. Chi-square statistic showcased a significant association between demographics of age (χ²= 34.24), marital status (χ²= 25.78), education (χ²= 56.89), and secondary occupation (χ²= 20.31), and ICT utilization. Also, a significant correlation existed at an R-value equal to 0.82 between the extent of ICTs utility and its influence on taungya maize farmers' production.

Abstract

For most Indonesians, rice is a staple of their diet. Food supply, particularly from domestic rice production, is correlated with food availability. Stable rice production is one of the determining factors in achieving food self-sufficiency towards the golden Indonesia 2045 and making Indonesia the world's food barn. This investigation aims to assess the adequacy of rice availability in Malang Regency in support of Golden Indonesia 2045. The data sources used were rice production and rice consumption data for 2010–2023, obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Malang Regency and the Food Security Service of Malang Regency. The analysis methodology used is an ARIMA-Box-Jenkins analysis to project rice production and consumption. The analysis shows that projections of rice production and consumption in Malang Regency have increased each year. The highest rice production projection is in 2045, at 390,655 tons. The average growth of rice production is 1.06%. The highest rice consumption projection is in 2045, at 277,577 tons, with an average annual growth rate of 0.8%. Rice production is higher than rice consumption. Thus, overall, Malang Regency is estimated to produce a rice surplus from 2024 to 2045, averaging 92,812 tons.
