Abstract

Sandy coastal farming has become a crucial livelihood strategy in Indonesia's marginal coastal areas, yet technology adoption remains uneven across farmer households. This study examines how the economic behavior of farmer households influences the intensity of sandy coastal farming technology adoption and analyzes how changes in internal and external factors impact adoption, production, labor allocation, income, and expenditure. Using primary cross-sectional data from 196 farmer households in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, the study applies an integrated household economic model estimated as a system of simultaneous equations using the Two-Stage Least Squares method. Technology adoption is represented through the allocation of cultivated land and the use of soil-improving inputs, allowing for the examination of adoption intensity within a unified household decision framework. The results show that adoption intensity is primarily driven by household income and family labor availability, with cultivated area acting as a key transmission channel linking income to input use and production outcomes. Higher returns from sandy coastal farming induce substitution toward hired labor rather than proportional increases in family labor. Simulation results indicate that output price incentives strengthen adoption through income and scale effects, while reductions in irrigated land weaken adoption by tightening household resource constraints. These findings underscore the significance of income stability and access to resources in maintaining high adoption intensity in marginal land systems.

Abstract

The rural population in Indonesia, heavily reliant on agriculture and fishery, constitutes approximately 60% of the nation's population. Seaweed cultivation has emerged as a significant economic activity among coastal communities, particularly in Seriwe Village, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Despite its significance, studies detailing financial viability and profitability in rural-level seaweed farming remain scarce, limiting effective management and targeted policy interventions. This study assessed the profitability and business feasibility of seaweed cultivation and identified factors influencing the income of seaweed farmers in the village. Utilizing multiple regression analysis, we standardized variable data and evaluated factors such as gender, experience, age, education, cultivation area, seed price, selling price, labor, and capital investment. Data collection involved interviews with 50 seaweed farmers and five middlemen, focusing on sociodemographic profiles, variable and fixed costs, and revenue. The Revenue Cost Ratio of 1.84 confirms the economic viability of seaweed farming, demonstrating substantial profitability in Seriwe Village. The multiple regression analysis results, with an adjusted R-squared value of 0.985, indicated that the cultivation area, capital investment, and selling price significantly influence farmers' income (p < 0.001). Gender and age also played a significant role (p < 0.05). Practical strategies to increase seaweed farmers’ income include forming farmers' groups and cleaning the harvested seaweed. Understanding these factors is crucial for implementing effective interventions and policies to support seaweed farmers. This study highlights the importance of targeted support, such as training programs, to empower farmers and enhance the economic resilience of coastal communities.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the income of shallot farmers, to determine the risk of shallot production, and to examine the level of efficiency of shallot farmers in Bantul Regency. The primary data used in the study was obtained using structured questionnaire administered to 30 selected farmers. R/C ratio, coefficient of variation, and stochastic frontier production function were used to analyze the data. The result showed that shallot farming in Bantul Regency was profitable with incomes of Rp20,903,711/ha. The level of risks faced by farmers were quite high, it was 7.27%. The average level of technical, allocative and economical efficiency of shallot farmers were: 0.802; 0.889; and 0.929. This result shows that shallot farmers can increase their technical efficiency and allocative efficiency to achieve an economic efficient condition.
