Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The value chain inequality occurs in Pulau Besar Sub-district because the added value generated  during the marketing channel is not evenly distributed between actors. Marketing actors involved in the value chain of salak pondoh commodities in Pulau Besar Sub-district range from farmers and middlemen to retailers. This shows that farmers in Pulau Besar District have a weak bargaining position. So, this study aims to analyze the types of inequality in the salak pondoh value chain and how it impacts farmer share. The results are expected to provide a basis for policymaking and strategies that improve marketing efficiency and farmer empowerment in the local agribusiness system. METHODS   Data collection in this study was carried out using methods such as observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Two approaches in this study are used in data processing methods: descriptive and quantitative. The data analysis method is Farmer's share analysis is done to see the profit or share received by farmers in the form of a percentage. FINDINGS   The distribution of price shares in each channel varies. The pattern of channel l price share received by farmers amounted to 60.10%, channel ll amounted to 71.29%, and channel lll  amounted to 41.04%. This shows the level of inequality in the value received by farmers  compared to the final price at the consumer. In channel ll the inequality is the lowest because farmers receive the largest share. CONCLUSION Farmers are advised to choose marketing channels that provide the highest farmer share and  efficient marketing costs. Based on the study's results, the ll channel is most profitable for farmers. Therefore, farmers are advised to strengthen relationships with retailers and reduce dependence on middlemen. This research can provide useful insights for farmers and salak pondoh business actors.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES KSU Jaya Bersatu in Guhung Village distributes loans to independent oil palm farmers, but in the last three years, there have been stagnant bad loans to 36 debtors worth Rp574 million, even though the number of credit recipients has increased. This condition shows serious problems that risk disrupting the sustainability of cooperatives, so research needs to be conducted to examine socio-economic factors that affect the smooth payment and provide a more appropriate basis for loan policies. METHODS The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with binary logistic regression analysis. The respondents amounted to 95 independent oil palm farmers who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed by the HosmerLemeshow test, Pseudo R² value, Wald test, and odds ratio.  FINDINGS The results of the study showed that the value of the loan, education, number of dependents, and business experience had a significant effect on the smooth flow of credit, while income and land area had no real effect. Farmers with higher education, fewer dependents, and longer business experience tend to settle credit more smoothly.   CONCLUSION Cooperatives need to be more selective in determining the amount of loans and considering the educational background and business experience of members. Financial education needs to be improved, and loan limits should be adjusted to the ability to pay to reduce the risk of bad credit.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gen-Z college students are in a transitional phase towards economic independence, making financial management a significant challenge, especially for food needs. Budget limitations and social influences, such as peer habits, often encourage students to choose cheap, less nutritious food, which can have a negative impact on their health and well -being. This study examines pocket money allocation patterns, food coping strategies, and the relationship between pocket money, spending, and food coping strategies. By understanding these dynamics, the research is expected to provide insights to support food security policies and improve student welfare.   METHODS This research uses the library research method. Library study is a research approach conducted by collecting information and data from various literature sources relevant to the topic of food coping strategies and food expenditure of university students, such as documents, books, articles, journals, and other materials available in the library.   FINDINGS Discover how economic and social factors affect the consumption patterns of university students in more depth by summarizing previous research results that contain data collected from several research locations and various research subjects with different economic and social backgrounds. This research was created to understand the food coping strategies applied by university students and is expected to play a role in developing policy recommendations to support student food security and improve student welfare.   CONCLUSION This literature review shows that students' pocket money allocation is influenced by culture, lifestyle, and financial limitations, which impact their food and non-food consumption patterns. Students with limited pocket money tend to reduce food expenditur e using various coping strategies. Solutions can be implemented, including food subsidies, food aid, and financial literacy programs to help students manage their finances. However, further research is needed to assess these strategies' long-term impact and the policies' effectiveness in improving student welfare.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The circular economy has become a key issue in recent years, seen as capable of addressing economic and environmental challenges while simultaneously fostering the creation of a sustainable ecosystem. The Indonesian government has begun adopting this concept in its 2020 - 2024 development plan, with the agricultural sector as one of the areas with significant potential for its application. This study aims to describe the circular economy concept and its relevance to agriculture, identify the potential and challenges of its implementation in Indonesia, and formulate strategic recommendations. METHODSA literature review of academic sources and policy documents to gain a comprehensive understanding of the circular economy implementation model and approach in the agricultural sector. FINDINGSThis study reveals that implementing a circular economy in the agricultural sector has significant potential to increase resource efficiency, reduce waste, and improve environmental sustainability. However, various challenges remain, including limited access to financing, inadequate infrastructure, weak agricultural extension services, and insufficient business support. Comparisons with international practices, such as China's zero-waste city initiative and Europe's integrated food model, demonstrate that regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, and stakeholder collaboration are key drivers of circular economy adoption in agriculture. CONCLUSIONBased on these findings, the successful implementation of a circular economy in agriculture requires strengthened regulations, financial and technological support, and cross -sector collaboration, as demonstrated by international practice. With these steps, the agricultural sector can transform into a more resilient, sustainable system capable of maintaining ecological balance and food security.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESOil palm has an average productive life of about 25 years, after which yields decline. Replanting is therefore essential to sustain long-term productivity. This study examines the readiness of independent oil palm farmers and identifies the main factors that influence their preparedness to undertake replanting in Laman Bukit Village, Belimbing District, Melawi Regency, Indonesia. METHODSThe research was conducted in Laman Bukit Village, an area with the largest oil palm plantation coverage in the regency. A total of 100 respondents were selected from 351 farming households using simple random sampling. Data were gathered using structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling(PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. FINDINGSThe results show that independent farmers were generally classified as prepared to implement replanting. Personal factors, ownership of other plantations, and financial conditions had a significant positive effect on readiness. In contrast, institutional f actors did not show a significant statistical effect, indicating that existing institutions have not yet functioned effectively to directly support farmers’ readiness. This indicates that strengthening local institutional capacity remains necessary. CONCLUSIONFarmers’ readiness for replanting is strongly supported by personal experience, access to alternative productive assets, and financial preparedness. Strengthening these aspects is crucial to ensure the sustainability of oil palm replanting programs.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESThe robusta coffee farming sector in Semarang Regency, Central Java, plays a crucial role in the local economy, providing employment opportunities and contributing to regional agricultural production. Despite favourable agroecological conditions, the productivity and profits of coffee cultivation in the region vary significantly due to differences in cultivation methods. This study aims to evaluate the economic performance of robusta coffee cultivation in Semarang Regenc y, focusing on farmers' income, profi ts, and financial feasibility through key indicators such as Cost Income Ratio (R/C) and Cost Benefit Ratio (B/C). METHODSThis study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, conducting structured interviews with 69 randomly selected coffee farmers from the districts of Getasan, Bandungan, and Banyubiru. Primary data on production costs, crop yields, selling prices, and income components were collected, supplemented by secondary data from local agricultural offices. The financial feasibility of coffee cultivation is evaluated using R/C and B/C ratios to determine profitability and efficiency. FINDINGS The study found that the average productivity of robusta coffee was 914.7 kg per hectare, with an average selling price of IDR 24,372 per kg. The average income per hectare after deducting variable costs was IDR 13.33 million, with a net profit of IDR 11.30 million per hectare. An R/C ratio of 2.03 indicates that this farming venture is profitable, and a B/C ratio of 1.03 confirms the economic viability of coffee cultivation in the region. CONCLUSIONThe results of the study indicate that robusta coffee cultivation in Semarang Regency remains economically viable and profitable, with efficient production management practices contributing to positive financial outcomes. However, variations in productivity and input management efficiency among farmers pose challenges in maximising profits. Recommendations include enhancing cultivation practices, expanding market access, and stabilising coffee prices to ensure long-term sustainability. This research contributes to the understanding of the economic potential of coffee cultivation and provides practical insights to improve farmers' income and cultivation efficiency.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The development of hydroponic cultivation has become an efficient solution to the constraints imposed by limited agricultural land and declining soil quality. Melon farming using this system still faces various production and business risks that can affect income levels. This study aims to analyse income levels and identify the risks associated with hydroponic melon farming at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University (KPFP), Pegok, South Denpasar, Bali. METHODS: This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach combined with quantitative income analysis. Primary data were obtained through interviews and documentation of key informants, namely the Head of KPFP and the greenhouse manager. Income analysis was conducted by calculating total costs and total receipts, while risk identification employed Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to assess the severity, occurrence, and detectability of each risk source. FINDINGS: The total production cost of hydroponic melon farming was IDR 40,579,625, with total revenue of IDR 32,280,000, resulting in a net loss of IDR 8,299,625 during the planting period. The main risks identified include pest and disease attacks, nutrient concentration errors, and climate instability in the greenhouse. Based on the FMEA results, production risk has the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN), followed by human resources and market risks. CONCLUSION: Hydroponic melon farming at the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, has not yet achieved financial viability due to high investment and operational costs. Effective risk management strategies, such as improved pest control, routine nutrient monitoring, and worker training, are needed to minimise the risk of production failure. This study contributes to the development of a sustainable hydroponic agribusiness model in an educational and research environment.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Farmers in rural East Kalimantan face significant challenges, including limited access to information, low digital literacy, and inadequate technology infrastructure, which hinder the implementation of sustainable farming practices. Despite the increasing availability of digital communication tools and platforms, farmers in remote areas continue to struggle with utilizing technology to manage livestock operations, access markets, and enhance animal health. This study aims to examine the use of digital communication tools by small-scale livestock farmers in East Kalimantan, as well as the benefits they gain and the barriers that limit wider adoption. The objective of this research is to understand the role of digital communication in supporting sustainable livestock practices in rural communities. METHODS: This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with farmers, agricultural extension officers, and relevant stakeholders. The research was conducted in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, which was selected for its significant challenges, including limited access to technology and low digital literacy among farmers. Despite these challenges, East Kalimantan also holds great potential for the development of sustainable livestock farming, particularly through the use of digital communication tools. The data was analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to technology adoption, perceived benefits, barriers, and the contribution of digital tools to sustainable livestock management. FINDINGS: The study's findings reveal that farmers utilize smartphones, mobile apps, and social media platforms to access market information, livestock health consultations, and knowledge about sustainable farming practices. The adoption of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation systems remains limited due to high costs, limited digital skills, and weak internet infrastructure. Farmers reported benefits such as improved animal health, better decision-making, and increased efficiency in livestock management; challenges related to digital literacy and access to technology remain significant. CONCLUSION: Digital communication tools have significant potential to enhance sustainable livestock practices among small-scale farmers in rural areas. Several key barriers, primarily the digital literacy gap, infrastructure limitations, and high technology costs, need to be addressed for wider adoption. Strengthening digital training programs, improving internet connectivity in rural areas, and supporting farmer-centered technological initiatives are important steps to maximize the benefits of digital tools. This study contributes to the understanding of digital empowerment in rural livestock farming, emphasizing the need for integrated policy interventions. The limitations of this research include its focus on a single region and a relatively small sample size, indicating the need for further, broader, and comparative research
