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

This study aims to analyze the economic feasibility of a broiler chicken farming business under a partnership model through indicators of production break-even point (BEP), price break-even point (BEP), and revenue to cost ratio (R/C) in two different production periods (2020 and 2021), as well as examining the dynamics of partnerships and business risks faced by farmers and the core company. The study used a descriptive, case-study design on a broiler farm in Perintis Village, Rimbo Bujang District, Tebo Regency. Primary data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews using a structured questionnaire, while secondary data were obtained from the literature and institutional sources. Quantitative analysis was used to calculate costs, revenue, income, BEP, and R/C, while a qualitative study was used to explain the partnership mechanism and sources of business risks. The results indicate that the broiler business under a partnership model is feasible and profitable with R/C values of 1.56 (2020) and 1.35 (2021). The production break-even point (BEP) was significantly below actual Production (2020: 12.645.65 kg vs. 106.530 kg; 2021: 14.654.61 kg vs. 130.276 kg), indicating the business was above the minimum feasibility threshold. Institutionally, the partnership provided farmers with access to capital, technical guidance, and marketing guarantees, while the core company benefited from the inputs and marketing. However, there was a risk asymmetry: farmers predominantly bore production risks, while the core company was exposed to market price fluctuations and input price increases. This finding underscores the importance of regular financial performance evaluation and the structuring of partnership contracts to strengthen the sustainability of small-scale broiler businesses. The findings of this study contribute to the economics of agribusiness and livestock farming.

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.

Abstract

The fisheries and agriculture sectors play a pivotal role in Tanzania’s economic development, despite the challenges they face. This paper examines the financial contributions of these sectors, with its novelty lying in a comprehensive analysis of the causal relationships between agriculture and fisheries specific to Tanzania. Using a Vector Autoregression (VAR) approach spanning 1990 to 2021, the study addresses a gap in the existing literature, which often treats these aspects in isolation. The results indicate a statistically significant effect at the 0.05 level, where a one-unit increase in lagged fishing output significantly boosts GDP growth by approximately 1.7% due to enhanced current fishing performance, underscoring the importance of sustainable fishing practices. However, an over-reliance on past high yields can negatively impact GDP, highlighting the risks of overfishing. Conversely, the agriculture sector also makes positive contributions: a one-unit increase in lagged agricultural output is associated with a 0.3% increase in GDP. This result is likewise statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Nevertheless, potential diminishing returns from past yields emphasize the need for innovation and diversification in agricultural practices. Granger causality tests further underscore the interdependencies among the sectors, indicating that improvements in both fishing and agriculture significantly influence GDP growth. These findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize investments in both sectors by increasing funding for agricultural and fisheries research, promoting sustainable modern practices and technology adoption, and providing training for farmers and fishermen to improve productivity, enhance economic resilience, and strengthen food security. Furthermore, this paper contributes to the literature on sustainable economic development in developing countries by providing empirical evidence that highlights the critical role of both sustainable fishing practices and agricultural output in enhancing GDP growth. It reinforces the need for integrated policies that promote environmental sustainability alongside economic performance.

Abstract

Food security remains a critical development challenge, particularly in regions facing complex environmental, socio-economic, and geographical constraints. This study aims to analyze the development of food security and examine the determinants influencing the Food Security Index (IKP) in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, during the 2018–2023 period. The analysis uses balanced panel data from 17 districts/cities, sourced from official publications of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The dependent variable is the Food Security Index (IKP). In contrast, the explanatory variables include the Environmental Quality Index (IKLH), economic growth, population growth, poverty rate, rice productivity, and the proportion of coastal villages/subdistricts. Descriptive analysis and panel data regression were employed, with the Random Effect Model (REM) selected as the best estimation approach based on the Lagrange Multiplier test. The results indicate that the average IKP in Southeast Sulawesi increased over the study period, reflecting overall improvement in food security, although substantial disparities across districts persist. Regression results indicate that population growth, poverty, and coastal geographic characteristics have adverse, significant effects on food security, while rice productivity has a positive, significant impact. In contrast, environmental quality and economic growth do not exhibit statistically significant effects on the IKP during the study period. The model explains 27.57% of the variation in regional food security, highlighting the importance of demographic, socio-economic, productivity, and geographical factors. These findings suggest that improving food security in Southeast Sulawesi requires integrated policies that prioritize poverty reduction, population pressure management, enhancement of staple food productivity, and context-specific strategies for coastal areas, supported by inclusive and sustainable development approaches. This study contributes to the multidimensional interaction of factors shaping food security at the regional level.

Abstract

This study evaluates the financial feasibility and sensitivity of organic rice farming under the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Although previous studies have documented the economic performance of organic and SRI-based rice systems, integrated evidence combining profitability, break-even thresholds, and sensitivity analyses within specific agroecological contexts, particularly in eastern Indonesia, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by providing a context-sensitive financial assessment that emphasizes both efficiency and economic resilience. Farm-level cost income analysis, the Revenue Cost (R/C) ratio, the Break-Even Point (BEP), the Return on Investment (ROI), and sensitivity analysis were applied. The results show that the total production costs of IDR9.681.021 per hectare generated revenues of IDR38.214.300 per hectare, yielding a net income of IDR28.533.279 per hectare. The R/C ratio of 2.94 and ROI of 294.73% indicate strong financial performance; however, these values should be interpreted cautiously as location-specific outcomes rather than generalized benchmarks. BEP analysis reveals that actual production and market prices substantially exceed break-even levels, providing a considerable safety margin. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the farming system remains financially viable under moderate shocks, including price declines or cost increases of up to 20%. This study contributes by highlighting SRI-based organic rice farming as a mechanism for enhancing farm-level economic resilience through cost efficiency. Nevertheless, the single-location case study design limits broader generalization, suggesting the need for multi-region and longitudinal analyses in future research.

Abstract

The agricultural sector plays an essential role in the Indonesian economy, particularly in generating foreign exchange, creating employment opportunities, and supplying raw materials for the food and beverage processing industry and the agro-industry. Coffee has long been cultivated by the community of Jember Regency, especially in Pace Village. Argopuro coffee is promoted as a flagship variety and has become an icon of Jember Regency. This study focuses on the specific context of Argopuro coffee in Jember Regency, which has distinct geographical, social, and marketing characteristics compared to other coffee-producing regions. Specifically, this study aims to analyze the marketing margins and marketing efficiency of coffee in the Suka Maju Gapoktan in Pace Village, Jember Regency. This region-based approach enables a more context-specific and applicable analysis of the conditions local farmers face. This study was conducted on 74 coffee farmers who are members of the Suka Maju Farmers Group Association (Gapoktan) located in Pace Village. The importance of coffee as a commodity forms the background of this research. A quantitative research method was applied to calculate marketing margins and marketing efficiency. The study involved coffee farmers within the Suka Maju Gapoktan. The results indicate that the marketing margin is IDR1.000. The marketing channels are considered efficient, with efficiency levels of 8.84% for ground coffee and 7.10% and 7.62% for green coffee beans. This study contributes to improving the efficiency of the coffee marketing system.
