Abstract

This study examines agricultural land-use change, socio-economic transformation, and food security implications in Aimas District, Sorong Regency, Indonesia. The study integrated GIS-based spatial analysis of land-cover data for 2014, 2019, and 2024 with a socio-economic survey of 210 households, complemented by direct field observation. Over the decade, the district lost 195 ha of shrubland, 154 ha of secondary mangrove forest, and 108 ha of swamp shrubland, while mixed dryland agriculture expanded from 1,646 ha to 1,806 ha and paddy fields and fishponds were recorded as separate classes for the first time in 2024, at 460 ha (2.43%) and 39 ha (0.21%), respectively. Survey evidence shows that 52.4% of respondents had converted agricultural land, overwhelmingly because farming was no longer profitable (81.4%). Conversion has accelerated a shift from agricultural livelihoods to informal employment among indigenous households, while migrants, who constitute 82.9% of respondents, dominate formal and non-agricultural sectors. Reading the spatial and household evidence together shows that what changed most decisively in Aimas was not the quantity of agricultural land but its distribution and the terms on which households hold it, producing socio-economic differentiation alongside a narrow and fragmented food-producing base. The findings indicate that protecting agricultural land in rapidly uwrbanising peri-urban districts depends less on land availability than on farm profitability, the recognition of customary rights, and the enforcement of spatial planning, and they support participatory land governance coordinated across the wider peri-urban zone.

Abstract

The effectiveness of farmer groups plays a critical role in strengthening institution-based agricultural development, particularly as a platform for collective learning and decision-making. This study aims to examine the determinants of farmer group effectiveness in the implementation of lowland rice cultivation techniques. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Marga Mulya Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, Jambi Province. The study involved 186 farmers from seven active farmer groups, with 65 respondents selected through simple random sampling using the Slovin formula at a 10% margin of error. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to assess the relationships among leadership style, social capital, group cohesion, the role of agricultural extension workers, and farmer group effectiveness. The findings reveal that leadership style has a positive and highly significant effect, indicating its pivotal role in enhancing coordination, motivation, and collective action within farmer groups. Conversely, the role of agricultural extension workers shows a significant negative effect, suggesting limitations in the current extension approaches in addressing farmers’ needs. The study concludes that strengthening adaptive and participatory leadership, along with reorienting extension strategies toward a more demand-driven approach, is essential to improve farmer group effectiveness. It is recommended that extension services emphasize facilitative roles and context-specific intervention.

Abstract

Porang is a key agro-industrial commodity in Madiun Regency, Indonesia. Its supply chain currently faces numerous challenges, particularly in terms of risk management and sustainability issues. Various risks continue to affect the stability and performance of supply chains, posing a threat to their long-term viability. Additionally, stakeholder involvement remains fragmented, with limited collaboration across supply chain networks in the industry. This study aimed to identify and analyze supply chain risks and develop relevant risk mitigation strategies from the perspective of sustainability. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews with selected informants and farmer participants based on Slovin’s formula along the porang supply chain. This study applies the Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) and House of Risk (HoR) methods to systematically analyze and prioritize potential risks. The results of this study reveal that each stage of the porang supply chain involves distinct risk characteristics that necessitate a collaborative management approach aligned with a balanced consideration of economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The proposed mitigation strategies are both practical and contextually relevant, offering a robust foundation for policy development in sustainable supply chain risk management. The results are expected to support the development of a comprehensive and sustainable risk management model tailored to agro-industrial supply chains, with a specific focus on porang as a strategic commodity.

Abstract

The agricultural sector is important to the Indonesian economy. But it is confronting major regeneration challenges, with an aging farmer population and a lack of interest from the younger generation, who tend to shy away from the risks of farming. This study aims to identify the risk faced by young farmers in rice farming, the effect of risk factors and behavior on the decision to work in the agricultural sector, and the dynamics of the effect of risk on farming behavior. The descriptive approach is used to explain the finding, the coefficient of variation (CV) is used to determine the risk profile, and structural equation modeling—partial least square (SEM-PLS) is used to analyze the effect of risk variables and farming behavior on career selection in the framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Data were collected from 105 young farmers, aged between 19 and 39 years. The results indicate that young farmers have a low farm risk profile. Risk and behavioral variables significantly predict career choice. The effect of risk on behavior is small. This confirms that career decisions are chiefly motivated by the TPB constructs of internal commitment, self-efficacy, and social support, which serve as a buffer against external threats. Ultimately, strong commitment and ability to do a job are the drivers for career choice, despite awareness of the risks. Therefore, policies should aim at psychological stimulation and targeted risk mitigation to ensure the sustainability of the agricultural profession.

Abstract

Soil health issues are always relevant to farming activities. Soil serves as a medium for plant growth and development. Therefore, farmers need to understand soil health. The University of Passau collaborated with the Faculty of Agriculture at Gadjah Mada University to conduct soil health training for farmer groups in Kapanewon Wates. Several farmer group leaders attended the sessions. The aim was to disseminate information on soil health to other farmers. This study aimed to (1) determine the position of the farmer group leader in dissemination planning and (2) determine the role of the farmer group board in the dissemination process. Primary data were collected through structured interviews with farmer group leaders and board members. The interviews focused on channels and decision-making processes for information dissemination. Data analysis used communication network analysis. Specifically, an ego-network study design was used to map relationships and communication flows. This explanatory approach, along with analysis of additional variables, enabled further examination of the dissemination network. It clarified the farmer group leader's position and the roles of the farmer group board in dissemination. This study found that, across groups, the farmer group leader occupied different positions in the decision-making process regarding innovation during dissemination planning. Furthermore, in each farmer group, most information dissemination is centralized among the farmer group boards.

Abstract

The day-of-the-week effect is one of the calendar anomalies that has been widely researched in the financial market; however, empirical studies on the food commodity market, especially beef in Indonesia, are still limited. This study aimed to analyze the day-of-the-week effect pattern and daily price volatility of beef in Indonesia using national price data for the 2018–2022 period. Daily data of 1,672 observations were obtained from the Agricultural Database of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, and logarithmic returns were calculated to test stationarity and intraweekly patterns. The results of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test showed that the data returns of beef prices were stationary. The descriptive analysis revealed that the highest average returns occurred on Monday, while the lowest occurred on Thursday and Friday, suggesting modest differences in price behavior across weekdays. In terms of volatility, Saturday showed the highest price fluctuations. However, the OLS regression results provide limited statistical evidence of a day-of-the-week effect. Only Sunday had a positive and significant coefficient at the 5% level, while the model exhibited very low explanatory power (R² = 0.0022). These findings suggest that weekday differences in beef price returns are weak and not sufficiently consistent to support the existence of a robust day-of-the-week effect in the Indonesian beef market.

Abstract

Dried fish processing businesses support coastal economies by generating employment and increasing the value-added of fisheries products. Sustainability remains challenged by limited financial management capabilities, restricted access to formal financial services, and inadequate utilization of financial technology. This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, financial inclusion, and financial technology on business resilience and sustainable performance among dried fish processing enterprises in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The study involved 488 business actors from seven dried fish production centers selected by census. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that financial capabilities remain insufficient, particularly in financial planning, access to financing, and application of financial instruments. Financial literacy demonstrates a positive and significant effect on business resilience and sustainable performance, indicating that financial knowledge enhances adaptive capacity and business continuity. Financial technology contributes positively to business resilience but has a negative effect on sustainable performance, as its adoption remains focused on payment transactions rather than broader functions such as financing, investment, and risk management. Conversely, financial inclusion does not show a significant influence on either business resilience or sustainable performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening financial literacy and promoting adoption of financial technology.

Abstract

Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification is mandatory for Indonesia’s palm oil industry, including smallholders. However, its implementation is constrained by information asymmetry and transaction costs that affect smallholder profitability. This study compares transaction cost structures and profitability between ISPO and non-ISPO smallholders using the Brunner–Munzel (BM) test. Data were collected through interviews with 100 randomly selected smallholders, comprising 50 ISPO and 50 non-ISPO smallholders in Asahan Regency, Indonesia. The results indicate significant differences in transaction cost structures and profitability between the two groups. ISPO smallholders operate within a more formalized institutional and value chain governance framework, resulting in higher explicit transaction costs, particularly cooperative fees and compliance-related expenses. In contrast, non-ISPO smallholders face substantially higher implicit transaction costs associated with weak bargaining power and market inefficiencies in informal markets. Consequently, although ISPO smallholders incur higher explicit costs, their total transaction costs are lower because of the substantial implicit costs borne by non-ISPO smallholders. ISPO smallholders also report lower profits, primarily associated with declining yields from aging plantations approaching replanting. Nevertheless, their governance arrangements support a favorable R/C ratio. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening smallholder institutions and market governance alongside production-input support to facilitate sustainable certification.
