Abstract

Oranges are one of the horticultural commodities that play an important role in fulfilling community nutritional needs and have high economic value. The increase of orange consumption in Indonesia has not always been accompanied by stable local orange production, causing imported oranges to emerge as a complementary alternative supply in traditional markets. This condition has led to substitution between local and imported oranges, which affects consumer preferences. This study aims to analyze traditional market consumer preferences for the attributes of local and imported oranges in Surakarta City and to identify the attributes most considered in determining purchase intention. This research used a quantitative descriptive method with survey techniques, used primary and secondary data, with purposive sampling through observation and interviews using questionnaires. This Study used 100 respondents divided among three traditional markets in Surakarta. The traditional markets used as research sites were Pasar Gede Hardjonagoro, Pasar Legi, and Pasar Nusukan. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and the Fishbein multi-attribute model. Consumer preferences for local oranges include thin fruit peel, sweet–slightly sour taste, medium fruit size, and juicy water content. Consumer preferences for imported oranges include thick fruit peel, sweet taste, medium fruit size, and very juicy water content. Fruit taste is the most considered attribute by consumers in determining purchase intention for both local and imported oranges.

Abstract

Studies have shown that knowledge and implementation of accounting practices, particularly management accounting (MA), pose significant challenges for small businesses in general, with limited attention given to small agribusiness groups. This study specifically explored knowledge gaps and challenges related to the implementation of MA practices among cocoa farmer business groups (FBGs) in Tanzania. Primary data were collected from 87 cocoa FBGs operating in the Kyela, Rungwe, and Kilombero districts, using a mixed research design. Qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis, while quantitative data were examined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), supplemented by Tukey’s range and Dunnett’s tests. The findings revealed that Tanzanian cocoa FBGs possessed limited knowledge of MA practices. This condition, combined with a lack of awareness, unstructured business operations, financial constraints, and insufficient readiness among leaders, hindered effective implementation. These results highlight the critical need for FBG management to strengthen their knowledge of MA practices. Improving cocoa agribusiness structures and securing financing for operations, including the adoption of advanced accounting systems, are essential steps forward. Moreover, FBG leaders must be persuaded of the importance of MA practices in daily operations to foster willingness to adopt such systems.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the shea value chain of Northern Ghana, from harvesting to marketing, and identifies its inefficiencies, key challenges, and socio-economic dynamics. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from 402 value chain actors across four districts (Tolon/Kumbungu, Fumbisi, Savelugu/Nanton, and Sagnarigu) with a literature review. Variables such as landholding size, yield, education level, harvesting practices, production costs, and distribution satisfaction were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Fisher’s exact test, Pearson correlation, linear regression, and ANOVA. The shea value chain is predominantly female-driven (94.8%) and heavily reliant on manual labor, with limited value addition and low market penetration. Key issues include small landholdings (67.4% ranging from 4–6 hectares), sustainability pressures (69.7% reporting a lack of shea trees), a strong reliance on local markets (78.4%), and high levels of dissatisfaction (68.9%). Significant relationships were found between landholding size and yield (Fisher’s exact test = 54.783, p < 0.001), production costs and landholding size (ANOVA F = 3.915, p = 0.004), and yield and harvesting practices (F = 2.961, p = 0.032). Major constraints include insecure land tenure (71.9%), equipment shortages (42.0%), and limited access to inputs (38.1%). Policy recommendations include land reform, increased investment in infrastructure, strengthening cooperatives, and developing gender-responsive programs

Abstract

Sawangan District is a rice-producing area in Magelang Regency. The majority of its population relies on agriculture due to the region's significant agricultural potential. However, farmers face numerous challenges in rice production, including environmental, social, economic, and technological factors. This study aims to determine the factors influencing rice production by using a participatory approach that involves farmers in discussions during data collection. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative, utilizing primary and secondary data. Data were processed using SPSS 16.0 software. The results of this study indicate that land area and seed quantity significantly influence rice production. Land area is the main determinant of rice production. According to classical production theory, land area is directly proportional to production. Meanwhile, seeds show a negative relationship with production: increasing the number of seeds planted leads to a higher seed density, resulting in suboptimal rice growth due to competition for nutrients, light, and root space. Other variables, namely age, education, number of workers, and amount of manure, do not significantly influence rice production. The results of this study are expected to inform policymakers in optimizing land use to increase productivity and determining the right number of seeds to achieve optimal production.

Abstract

Global agricultural systems face increasing pressures from climate change, biodiversity loss, and socio-economic inequalities, necessitating integrative and context-specific approaches. This study examines the convergence of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and scientific agriculture through a three-pillar framework: Environmental Management, Classification of Knowledge, and Agricultural Sustainability. A qualitative synthesis of literature, policy documents, and case studies (2000–2025) was conducted using thematic and agroecological perspectives. The study advances an integrated Indigenous–scientific production model that incorporates biophysical factors, management inputs, and an Indigenous Knowledge Index (IKI) to quantify experiential knowledge. Scenario-based comparisons of indigenous-only, scientific-only, and integrated systems reveal that hybrid approaches enhance productivity, resilience, and resource-use efficiency while reducing dependency on external inputs. Indigenous systems contribute significantly to climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation, whereas scientific systems support yield optimization and scalability. However, the marginalization of IKS within dominant policy and institutional frameworks remains a critical barrier to integration. The findings highlight that participatory approaches, knowledge co-production, and decision-support tools are essential for operationalizing integration. The study concludes that convergence between Indigenous and scientific knowledge systems provides a practical and scalable pathway for sustainable intensification, inclusive agribusiness development, and rural socioeconomic empowerment.

Abstract

The eruption causes social crises, hunger, damage to regional spatial planning, degradation of environmental quality, disruption of daily activities, damage to facilities, and agricultural losses. Most of the livelihoods of the population in the Mount Merapi area are farmers. Farmers' vulnerability increases due to eruptions, necessitating identification, anticipation, and mitigation to prevent exacerbation. The purpose of this study is to identify the vulnerability index of farmer households affected by the eruption in the Mount Merapi area. This research was conducted in Selo Sub-district, Boyolali Regency, and Kemalang Sub-district, Klaten Regency, which are prone areas affected by the eruption. The analysis method used was descriptive. Descriptive analysis was used to identify the vulnerability index of farmer households affected by the eruption in the Mount Merapi area using the Livelihood Vulnerability Index. The results indicated that the component value in the Selo sub-district for the socio-demographic profile was 0.127, livelihood 0.66, health 0.035, social network 0.45, food 0.17, water 0.30, and natural disaster 0.027. The component values in the Kemalang sub-district for the socio-demographic profile are 0.125 for livelihood, 0.66 for health, 0.14 for social network, 0.14 for food, 0.93 for water, and 0.017 for natural disaster. Kecamatan Kemalang, Klaten Regency, is more vulnerable than Kecamatan Selo, Boyolali Regency. Kecamatan Kemalang's LVI index is 0.357 greater than Kecamatan Selo's 0.251. The government needs to provide training for farmers on disaster management during eruptions, such as livestock evacuation and post-harvest management for horticultural commodities. Farmers should also participate in government-provided livestock insurance to reduce losses.
