Abstract

The formation of a strong agribusiness ecosystem was a key driver of sustainable economic development in rural areas. This paper aims to examine the factors that support opportunities for strengthening the agribusiness ecosystem and its impact on rural economic performance. This paper used a survey to obtain responses from 200 respondents in various underdeveloped areas in Papua. Statistical evaluation of the collected data used PLS-SEM. The results showed that the correlations of all tested relationships were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Institutional support had a positive and significant effect on the agribusiness ecosystem (β = 0.312, t = 4.865, p = 0.000) and economic impact (β = 0.215, t = 3.457, p = 0.001). Market access also significantly influences the agribusiness ecosystem (β = 0.287, t = 4.236, p = 0.000) and economic impact (β = 0.198, t = 3.015, p = 0.003). Similarly, human resource quality shows a positive influence on the agribusiness ecosystem (β = 0.225, t = 3.278, p = 0.001) and economic impact (β = 0.176, t = 2.865, p = 0.004). Technology access significantly strengthens the agribusiness ecosystem (β = 0.298, t = 4.574, p = 0.000) and improves economic outcomes (β = 0.203, t = 3.186, p = 0.002). In addition, the agribusiness ecosystem itself has a significant and very high influence on economic outcomes (β = 0.352, β = 5.012, β = 0.000). The agribusiness ecosystem moderates the impact of institutional, technological, market, and human factors on economic performance.

Abstract

A farmer group functions as a platform for local farmers to collaborate, learn, and support each other in agricultural activities. Active participation of farmer group members in various group activities not only strengthens solidarity but also has the potential to improve the group's performance. This study explores the influence of farmer group member participation on group performance in Sungai Kakap District, focusing on Parit Keladi Village. The study population consists of 569 farmers. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin formula, resulting in 123 respondents selected through a multistage sampling technique. The analytical method used is SEM-PLS. This study is distinctive for its comprehensive application of Cohen and Uphoff’s four-dimensional participation framework to Indonesian farmer groups through the SEM-PLS approach, a method rarely employed in this field. The results show that participation in decision-making, implementation, and benefit utilization significantly enhances group performance, while participation in evaluation has no notable effect. This uneven influence across dimensions extends Cohen and Uphoff’s theory by demonstrating that participation is not a uniform process; instead, certain stages contribute more substantially to institutional effectiveness within the Indonesian farmer group context. The findings thus refine the theoretical understanding of participatory dynamics and provide practical insights for strengthening collaboration, improving performance, and promoting the sustainability of farmer groups

Abstract

Sustainability certifications are often regarded as tools for improving agricultural practices and supporting environmental stewardship among independent oil palm smallholders in Indonesia. However, their effectiveness in driving comprehensive agronomic transformation and improving household income remains debatable. This study examines the effect of sustainability certification on the adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) among certified and non-certified smallholders in the Philippines. We analyzed data from 64 oil palm smallholders in Simalungun Regency, Indonesia, using comparative and correlation statistical methods. The findings indicate that certification had a limited impact on core agronomic practices, such as fertilization, pruning, and weeding, which remain constrained by structural barriers, including limited technical capacity and financial resources. Certified smallholders exhibited better environmentally focused practices, particularly in reducing the use of hazardous chemicals and adopting sustainable weeding methods, although the differences were not statistically significant. These results suggest that certification programs have been more responsive to external market demands for environmental compliance but have fallen short in facilitating the widespread adoption of productivity-enhancing agronomic practices among smallholders in the region. To achieve environmental sustainability and improved productivity, future certification schemes should be designed to provide stronger agronomic support and balanced incentives. This study provides new insights into the limitations of sustainability certifications in driving comprehensive agronomic improvements, while highlighting their potential to address specific environmental challenges.

Abstract

Conflicts over forest resource control often stem from discrepancies between state policies and local land tenure practices. In West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, the government granted a 1,590-hectare concession to a cooperative under the Community Plantation Forest (HTR) scheme, with a legal permit valid for 35 years. However, the land has long been occupied and managed by local communities through Siliah Jariah. Tensions emerged due to the absence of formal recognition of socially legitimate claims made by these communities. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method in Pigogah Patibubur. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with 11 purposively selected informants and direct field observations. The informants included farmers, the head of the Nagari Customary Council (KAN), a former employee of the ex-timber concession PT SSS, and forestry officials. Secondary data were obtained through the review of official documents. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of land access and control based on legal and social aspects of the community. The findings reveal that local communities' social legitimacy conflicts with state-backed legal claims, exacerbated by asymmetrical power relations among actors. This study recommends a more inclusive approach to land conflict resolution, one that considers both formal legal frameworks and the rights of indigenous communities.

Abstract

Oil palm replanting is critical for maintaining yields, improving farmer livelihoods, and reducing expansion to forested areas. Indonesia’s smallholder farmers manage a large proportion of the national plantations but face declining productivity due to aging trees and substantial constraints in replanting programs. This study presents a systematic literature review of research published between 2015 and 2024 on smallholder oil palm replanting in Indonesia. Using PRISMA-based screening, this study applied Open Knowledge Maps and VOSviewer to examine research trends, thematic clusters, and knowledge gaps. The analysis identified five dominant themes: environmental impacts, biomass economic valuation, corporate farming schemes, institutional arrangements, and community-driven initiatives. Environmental studies focus on biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions, whereas economic research examines subsidy effectiveness and productivity. Institutional analyses highlight policy frameworks and extension services, while community-oriented research explores farmer participation, collective action, and risk preferences. Despite increasing scholarly attention, major gaps remain in understanding replanting profitability, behavioral decision-making under risk, effective support mechanisms, and integrated sustainability dimensions. This study provides a comprehensive research map and outlines priorities for strengthening sustainable replanting strategies for Indonesian smallholders.

Abstract

This study examined the factors affecting Indonesia's rice imports between 1990 and 2024. Despite efforts to become self-sufficient in rice, Indonesia remains dependent on imports because of price differences, population growth, and fluctuating domestic production. To investigate both short-term and long-term relationships among important variables, such as domestic rice production, exchange rate, national income, domestic rice prices, population, and import tariffs, this study used secondary time series data and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model in conjunction with the error correction model (ECM). The findings demonstrate that exchange rate depreciation has a substantial impact on rice imports, raising import costs without significantly lowering volumes because of the inelastic nature of rice demand. Higher import volumes are positively correlated with population growth and domestic price increases. Tariffs are found to have delayed effects in later periods but have a statistically negligible impact in the short term. The interdependence in the macroeconomic environment is indicated by the confirmed long-term equilibrium relationships between the variables. Based on the ARDL results, the error correction term (ECT) coefficient is negative and significant for cointegration validity, reflecting how quickly rice import levels revert to their long-run relationship with the specified factors. According to the study's findings, import regulations need to reform.

Abstract

Despite persistent socioeconomic challenges in Indonesia’s aromatic crop sector, gender dynamics within the patchouli value chain remain underexplored. This study analyses the socioeconomic resilience of smallholder farmer households by highlighting the interrelationships among gender governance, market access, and adaptive strategies in the patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) value chain in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Primary data from 287 respondents in ten villages was collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviews with 30 key informants. Data collection was conducted using a systematic random sampling method. This study investigated the relationship between gender roles and household resilience using the Gender-Sensitive Value Chain (GSVC) framework and correlation analysis. The results show that women's participation is significant throughout the value chain. However, they are still not involved in strategic decision-making. This indicates continuing structural gender-based inequality in the agricultural production system. With higher resilience scores (r = 0.32, p < 0.01), women's involvement in household financial management was positively correlated with resilience scores. This shows that women make a significant, but often unrecognized, contribution to household adaptive capacity. This study shows that for a competitive and sustainable aromatic crop economy, policies that empower women in the patchouli value chain, promote local institutions, and improve financial literacy are essential.

Abstract

This study departs from the observation of the use of digital applications in village forest management, where women are more active in data collection and communication, reflecting the beginning of gender role transformation in village forest management in Kuala Indragiri Sub-district, Indragiri Hilir District. It investigates how digitalization affects women’s participation in village forest management institutions (VFMI) and how sociocultural norms shape the gender digital divide. Using a mixed-methods case study in two mangrove coastal villages - Sapat and Sungai Piyai Village - the research combines surveys, in-depth interviews, participant observation, meaning that the higher the gender digital divide, the lower the role of women in institutions. Men dominating technical applications such as Avenza Maps (mapping), while women limited to administrative or communication tools WhatsApp and KoboToolbox (online surveys). Although limited, women's involvement in training and the use of digital applications is beginning to open space for recognition of their strategic role in village forest governance, reflecting the potential for gender transformation. Affirmative and intersectional strategies are needed, to minimize the reproduction of existing gender gaps. This study contributes to the discourse on inclusive digital transformation by highlighting the importance of overcoming structural and cultural barriers in social forestry programs. The findings also have the potential to be replicated in other coastal communities that face similar challenges in digitalization and gender inequality.

Abstract

Indonesian retired female migrant workers (RFMWs) are pivotal in strengthening household economic and social resilience post-migration. This study analyzes remittance management, livelihood strategies, and family resilience among RFMWs in Kenanga Village, Indramayu Regency. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining a survey of 80 households with in-depth interviews. Research instruments included a livelihood strategy questionnaire and the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ). Results show that remittances were primarily used for housing construction or renovation, children's education, and business capital, enhancing physical and financial assets. The dominant livelihood strategy was non-agricultural business diversification due to limited natural capital. As many as 83.75% of households had high resilience, characterized by open communication, role flexibility, and adaptive capacity. These findings highlight the need for integrating remittance management with livelihood strategies to reinforce post-migration family resilience. Remittance management functions as an economic resource that supports household livelihood strategies, while livelihood strategies determine the sustainable use of remittances. These two dimensions are mutually reinforcing and, when integrated, contribute significantly to strengthening post-migration family resilience.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the role of women selling spent hens in household decision-making in Pagar Alam City, South Sumatra Province.  This study shows the role of women who work to earn a living in household decision-making in the areas of production, household expenses, the formation of family rules, and social activities. This is important for understanding how gender equality is implemented in households.  The population of this study was women selling spent hens who also had the status of wives in the household. The research population comprised 39 individuals selected by census as respondents.  The data for this case study were collected through in-depth interviews with respondents. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Women selling spent hens in Pagar Alam City, South Sumatra Province, play a significant role in household decision-making. These women contribute an average of 47% of household income, a contribution nearly equal to their husbands' contribution to household income.  Therefore, they also play a role in household decision-making.  Decision-making by the wife herself dominates in three fields: household production (64 %), household expenditure (49 %), and forming household rules (25 %).   Decision-making by the husband and wife together, by the husband and wife, but the husband is dominant, and by the husband himself is less.
