Abstract

Background and purpose – Rice production plays a crucial role in achieving national food security. Adequate water supply through reliable irrigation systems is essential for crop production, especially for farmers. Therefore, infrastructure development, particularly irrigation, is vital in supporting rice production. This study aims to describe the level of rice production in East Java and analyze the influence of the proportion of irrigated rice fields, fertilizer distribution factors, and rainfall on rice production in East Java. Methodology – This research uses a quantitative approach with panel data regression analysis techniques. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of East Java Province and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2013 to 2017, covering 10 regencies/cities in East Java. Findings – This study found that the proportion of irrigated rice fields does not significantly impact rice production, suggesting a decline in the functionality of irrigation networks. This inefficiency in water use disrupts both rice production and the performance of irrigation infrastructure. In contrast, the distribution of fertilizer and rainfall significantly influence rice production. Improved fertilizer distribution enhances farmers' access to urea, meeting crop nutritional needs, while adequate rainfall is crucial for rice plant growth and preventing crop failure. Implications – better management of irrigation infrastructure, along with efficient fertilizer distribution and rainfall management, can substantially improve rice production in East Java.

Abstract

Background and purpose - Finances are often an issue for many individuals, including farmers. In 2022, the agricultural sector was the third-largest contributor to the gross domestic product (GDP) at 12.4%, following the industrial sector at 18.3% and the trade sector at 12.9%. In reality, according to BPS data, 14.38 million poor people in Indonesia live in rural areas, most of whom work as farmers. The financial problems of farmers are not only caused by low income but also by low financial literacy. This study aims to determine the level of financial literacy among shallot farmers. Another objective is to analyze the demographic and socio-economic factors that influence the financial literacy of shallot farmers. Methodology - The study was conducted on shallot farmers in Bungur Village, Sukomoro District, Nganjuk Regency. In this study, 111 respondents were selected using purposive sampling technique. The measurement of financial literacy levels used descriptive statistics, and the analysis of the influence of demographic and socio-economic factors on financial literacy used tobit regression analysis. Findings - The results of this study show that the average financial literacy of the respondents was 1.80, which falls into the low financial literacy category. The variables that influence the financial literacy of shallot farmers in Bungur Village are age, education, number of dependents, income, land area, account ownership, and smartphone ownership. Implication - The Financial Services Authority, the Agricultural Extension Agency, and the management of farmer groups collaborate to provide education and training to red onion farmers. These programs should focus on enhancing their financial knowledge and management skills to improve their financial literacy.

Abstract

Background and purposes - Food insecurity in farming households is an issue that needs attention. Farmers must have resources to support their household life, one of which is social capital. This research aims to analyze the influence of social capital and sociodemographic factors on the food security of farming households and describe the level of food security of farming households in Langlang Village, Singosari District, Malang Regency. Methodology - The research approach uses quantitative methods and ordinal regression analysis to determine the influence of social capital and sociodemographic factors on food security. Meanwhile, the Food Consumption Score (FCS) is used to determine the level of food security of farming households. The software used for data analysis is STATA 15. The analysis in this study uses significance levels of 1%, 5%, and 10%. Findings - The results show that the average food security score of farming households is 40.29, which falls within the borderline food security scale. Furthermore, sociodemographic factors that positively and significantly affect household food security include education level, farmer income, agricultural productivity, and loans/credit. In addition, social capital has a positive and significant effect on food security.

Abstract

Background and purposes - Infrastructure development plays a critical role in enhancing agricultural productivity, particularly in Indonesia, where the agricultural sector is a cornerstone of the economy. This study investigates the impact of road infrastructure—specifically road length and road stability—on rice productivity in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to analyze how road infrastructure affects agricultural outcomes and to provide insights into the relationship between infrastructure development and rice production efficiency. Methodology - The study employs a quantitative methodology using panel data regression analysis. Data were collected from 31 provinces over a 10-year period (2013–2022), focusing on key variables such as road length, road stability, and rice productivity. This approach integrates cross-sectional and time-series data to offer a comprehensive analysis of infrastructure’s role in agricultural performance. Findings - The findings reveal that road length has a significant and positive effect on rice productivity, with every 1% increase in road length corresponding to a 124.1819 unit increase in rice output. However, road stability did not show a significant effect on productivity. These results suggest that improved connectivity, facilitated by longer road networks, is a critical factor in enhancing farmers' access to agricultural inputs and markets, thereby boosting productivity. Implications - The implications of this study are clear: prioritizing road infrastructure development, particularly in rural and agricultural areas, is essential for improving agricultural productivity and ensuring food security. Enhanced road networks reduce logistical costs, improve farmers' access to essential resources, and ultimately contribute to economic development and poverty alleviation in Indonesia. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers seeking to strengthen infrastructure to support agricultural growth.

Abstract

Background and purpose - Bridge infrastructure is considered a core infrastructure that can increase economic growth in the agricultural sector because it can facilitate the distribution of agricultural products. This study aims to analyze the effect of bridge infrastructure on economic growth in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. Methodology - This study uses secondary data obtained through the official website of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) from 2012 to 2021 in a total of 29 provinces in Indonesia. Data analysis uses panel data regression analysis method using Eviews12 software. Findings - The results showed that the percentage of bridge infrastructure in good condition has a positive significant effect (0.0232 < 0.05); the percentage of bridge infrastructure in bad condition has a negative significant effect (0.0050 < 0.05); the total population has a positive significant effect (0.0000 < 0.05); while the land area has no significant effect (0.5067 > 0.05). Implications - Attention and maintenance of bridge infrastructure by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, along with precise policy implementation by local government officials, are crucial for supporting the economic growth of Indonesia's agricultural sector
