Abstract

Flooding’s impacts are well-known, but environmental consequences in South-Western Nigeria and alternatives to costly engineering solutions must be examined. Hence, assessing residents’ perception of flooding on social well-being and forestry-based mitigation approaches in flood-prone communities of South-western Nigeria. A four-stage sampling approach was adopted for the study. The first three stages involved strategic selection in the Nigerian states of Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos, where two Local Government Areas (LGAs) were chosen in each state, leading to 22 communities in each of the LGAs, based on past flood incidences. In stage four, a household listing was used to select 250 households for questionnaire administration in 2021 systematically. Using the following analytical tools, data were analysed using descriptive statistics, ranking, and chi-square at α0.05. Findings revealed that majority of residents (72.8%) were indigene, have been resident in the flood-prone locality for at least 16 years (52.4%), married (74.4%), aged between 21 and 50 years (78.4%) and living in households of between 5 and 8 persons (62.8%). Furthermore, residents’ well-being indicators reveal significant shortcomings, except for positive social connections, education, and sanitation facilities trends. The study also identified tree planting, tree conservation in the upland areas, sustenance of the natural environment, and stabilisation of stream banks using vegetation as a nature-based solution to flood mitigation, depending on residents’ indigeneity, years of residing in the study community, and marital status. To ensure sustainable forestry practices that mitigate floods in the study area, it is crucial to have environmental and forestry agencies involved.

Abstract

Vanilla is a high-value commodity with significant demand in domestic and international markets, making consumer behavior an essential aspect of its marketing strategy. Understanding the factors that drive purchasing decisions can help businesses like Vanilla Global Indonesia optimize their offerings and marketing efforts to meet consumer needs effectively. The purpose of this research is to determine the characteristics of consumers of vanilla products at Vanilla Global Indonesia and to find out what factors influence the decision to purchase vanilla products at Vanilla Global Indonesia. This research was carried out in 2023 with 50 respondents from consumers who made purchase decisions at Vanilla Global Indonesia, with an age qualification of more than 17 years. Regression analysis with classical assumption tests is used in this study to see the variables of quality, price, packaging, and promotion, and their influence on purchasing decisions for Indonesian global vanilla products. This research shows that 20 people came from Korea, and the number of customer respondents with a D3 education level is as many as 20 people, with customers having a chef job level of 21 people. This analysis showed that quality, price, packaging, and promotion positively affect purchase decisions, which means that if the variable increases, then the consumer's purchasing decision for Vanilla will also increase. The product quality variable significantly influences consumer purchasing decisions for Vanilla, with a coefficient of 0.470.

Abstract

The oral tradition of kaƃanti pengantar tidur (lullaby kaƃanti) is a cultural expression of the Wangi-Wangi community, functioning not only as a medium to lull children to sleep but also as a vehicle for transmitting life values. This study aims to explain the representation of agriculture in the oral tradition of kaƃanti lullabies in the Wangi-Wangi community, identify and analyze the metaphors used to describe aspects of agriculture, and interpret the cultural meaning of these metaphors within the context of the Wangi-Wangi community's cultural perspective. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and ethnolinguistic methods, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and textual analysis of kaƃanti songs. The findings reveal that kaƃanti contains various agricultural metaphors that reflect the worldview of an agrarian society, such as metaphors related to fertility, life cycles, productive age, and the value of hard work. Agricultural symbols are represented through depictions of the body, plants, and crops, emphasizing the deep connection between humans and nature. These results confirm that kaƃanti carries not only aesthetic value but also functions as a medium for social reflection and meaning-making in the local Wangi-Wangi culture. This study recommends preserving kaƃanti as a cultural heritage and a valuable source of education based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Farming Business Insurance Program (AUTP) in Kulon Progo Regency, a disaster-prone area in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected between July and August 2024 through a structured survey of 93 rice farmers, comprising 48 participants and 45 non-participants of the AUTP program. The results show that overall knowledge of the program remains low, with only 29% of respondents demonstrating a high level of understanding. Key motivations for participation include directives from farmer group leaders, peer influence, support from agricultural extension officers, and perceived production risks. In contrast, significant barriers include insufficient information about registration procedures and a perceived lack of need for insurance. These findings underscore the need for targeted awareness campaigns, enhanced extension services, and streamlined administrative processes designed explicitly for disaster-prone farming communities. By integrating social influence factors and environmental risk contexts, this study provides policy-relevant insights for enhancing farmer engagement in agricultural insurance schemes such as AUTP.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of satisfaction of rice farmers with the performance of agricultural extension workers in Dusun Baru Village, Tabir District, Merangin Regency. The background of this study is the importance of agricultural extension workers as facilitators, educators, and liaisons between technological innovations and farmers, with direct implications for the success of agricultural development. The research was conducted from April 20 to May 20, 2021, using a quantitative survey method. Primary data were collected through interviews with questionnaires from 116 respondents selected via proportional random sampling from 18 farmer groups, totaling 582 people. Secondary data were obtained from the Tabir Subdistrict Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) and relevant literature. Data analysis was performed using a Likert-scale scoring technique, then interpreted using frequency distributions and mean values. The results showed that farmers' satisfaction with extension workers' performance was in the fairly satisfied category, with an average score of 2.02. In terms of social action and extension program planning, farmers rated their satisfaction as fairly satisfied (2.06), while extension implementation, technical expertise application, and extension worker performance scored 1.96, 2.02, and 2.02, respectively. Meanwhile, farmers' expectations of extension programs were also in the fairly satisfied category with an average score of 2.12. The interpersonal relationship indicator scored 2.17, and organizational management scored 2.07. These findings indicate that although farmers are reasonably satisfied with the performance of extension workers, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the implementation of extension services, strengthening farmer group institutions, and improving access to information and technology.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an agrarian and maritime country, has significant potential to develop fish-based processed products from home industries to create added value and strengthen the local economy. However, limited empirical studies on fish-based processed products (particularly fish crackers) have yielded insufficient information on the marketing channel structure and the distribution of economic benefits to producers. This study aims to analyze the marketing channel patterns and marketing efficiency of Mekar Mandiri Fish Crackers in Sidolego Village, Tabir Lintas District, Merangin Regency, Jambi Province. The research used a descriptive case study design with purposive location selection. Primary data were collected through observation and structured interviews with producers and marketers, using purposive and snowball sampling. The analysis was conducted by mapping the marketing channels and calculating the farmer's share as an indicator of efficiency. The results showed that there were three marketing channels: (i) producer–consumer, (ii) producer–retailer–consumer, and (iii) producer–wholesaler–retailer–consumer. Channels I and II have a farmer's share of 100%, while channel III has an 83.3% share, indicating the allocation of margins to intermediaries. These findings confirm that shorter marketing channels provide higher efficiency and strengthen the bargaining position of producers, while longer channels play a role in expanding distribution reach. This study provides empirical evidence on non-coastal rural microenterprises and serves as a basis for formulating marketing strategies that balance efficiency and market expansion to support the sustainability of fishery-based home industries.

Abstract

The growth in the number of cooperatives in Indonesia has not always been accompanied by increased institutional sustainability, including in Jambi Province, where a high proportion of cooperatives remain inactive. Previous studies generally treat the determinants of village cooperative development separately (internal vs. external). They are normative, leaving limited empirical evidence on how working capital constraints and dependence on member savings interact with external opportunities, such as business partnerships and technology adoption, in long-established village cooperatives. This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors influencing the development of the Bhakti Pamesun Village Cooperative Unit (KUD) in Jujuhan District, Bungo Regency, and to identify their implications for the sustainability of cooperatives. The research uses a descriptive design with a survey approach, including observation, structured interviews, and questionnaires, administered to purposively selected administrators and active members. The analysis was conducted using simple qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The results show that the cooperative's internal strengths lie in its relatively large membership base, the stability of its basic and mandatory savings, and its orderly financial management practices. However, the cooperative faces structural weaknesses, including limited working capital and a high dependence on member savings. Externally, marketing partnerships with PT Incasi Raya Group and the use of agricultural technology (e.g., egrek and cutting machines) open up opportunities for operational efficiency and market access. However, fluctuations in palm oil prices and low adoption of advanced technology remain significant challenges. These findings emphasize the need for a development strategy that links human resource capacity building, diversification of capital sources beyond member savings, and expanded use of technology through continuous assistance. The limitations of this study include its focus on a single cooperative case and its descriptive design; therefore, further research using comparative studies or quantitative approaches is recommended to test the causal relationship between factors and cooperative performance.
