Abstract

Hybrid corn is a leading commodity in Labuan District; however, farmers’ income varies due to production factors and farming conditions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the income of hybrid corn farming. Method: This research employed a quantitative approach using 81 hybrid corn farmer respondents selected through random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis through F-test, t-test, and R². The results of the regression analysis indicate that land area, production, and selling price significantly positively affect income, while production costs negatively affect it; however, irrigation availability does not have a significant effect. The regression model was simultaneously significant with an R² of 0.76, meaning that 76% of the income variation could be explained by the independent variables. The study recommends improving production cost efficiency, enhancing market access, and strengthening irrigation infrastructure.

Abstract

Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) are highly perishable fruits with limited shelf life, posing challenges to supply chains and consumer satisfaction. This study investigates the efficacy of chitosan-based edible coatings in extending the shelf life and preserving the quality of fresh Indonesian strawberries during refrigerated storage. The coating solution was prepared with 1.5% chitosan and applied via dipping, followed by storage at 4 ± 1˚C and 90% relative humidity for 12 days. Physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters including weight loss, firmness, color, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, Vitamin C retention, antioxidant activity, and microbial counts were systematically evaluated every 3 days. Results showed that chitosan coating significantly reduced weight loss and maintained higher firmness compared to uncoated controls. The coating also effectively preserved color by controlling lightness and redness (CIELAB parameters) and limited microbial proliferation, thereby extending the shelf life. Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences between coated and control groups from Day 6 onwards, with large effect sizes observed. These findings highlight the potential of chitosan edible coatings as a sustainable, low-cost postharvest technology to enhance strawberry quality and prolong shelf life under suboptimal cold chain conditions.

Abstract

Chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) play a key role in Indonesia’s horticultural economy, yet their cultivation—particularly under organic systems—faces persistent challenges related to land scarcity and efficient water management. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of drip irrigation compared with conventional watering methods for organic red chili grown under limited-land conditions. A controlled screen-house experiment was conducted using a 2×3 factorial RCBD with two irrigation methods (drip and conventional) and three water-dose levels (80%, 100%, and 120% ETc). Growth traits, water use efficiency (WUE), yield, and fruit quality parameters were measured. The results showed that drip irrigation combined with the optimal 100% ETc water dose significantly improved physiological stability, plant growth, total yield (12.35 t/ha), and WUE while minimizing water loss. Over-irrigation at 120% ETc reduced plant productivity, emphasizing the importance of precise water dosing. Incorporation of secondary climate and soil data from BMKG and ISRIC supported the broader applicability of the findings to West Java and similar peri-urban regions. Overall, the study demonstrates that precision drip irrigation provides a sustainable strategy to optimize resource efficiency and maintain high fruit quality in organic chili production on restricted land.

Abstract

Riau Province, a low-lying region dominated by peatlands and high rainfall, is highly susceptible to severe flooding, posing significant risks to its key agricultural sectors (oil palm and rice). This study seeks to delineate flood risk and agricultural susceptibility by amalgamating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA). Flood hazard zonation was generated using weighted physical parameters—Digital Elevation Model (DEM), rainfall, soil type, land cover, and river proximity—processed through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Agricultural vulnerability was assessed using exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity indicators derived from 2020–2025 secondary data. The results reveal that 18.5% of Riau Province falls under high-hazard zones, predominantly in Indragiri Hilir and Indragiri Hulu. Rice and oil palm in Indragiri Hilir were found to be the most vulnerable commodities, with an estimated annual economic loss of 350 billion Rupiah [11]. The resulting spatial maps provide essential guidance for the Riau Provincial Government in designing targeted mitigation measures, risk-based spatial planning, and improved agricultural adaptation strategies.

Abstract

This study empirically analyzed the impact of Digital Transformation (DT) on Agricultural Marketing Value Chain Efficiency (VCE) across 12 developing economies from 2019 to 2023, utilizing a Fixed Effects (FE) panel data model. The research specifically quantified the contribution of Digital Access (ACCESS), ICT Infrastructure (INFRA), and Digital Policy (POLICY) on Marketing Margin (MM), Post-Harvest Loss (PHL), and Farmers’ Terms of Trade (FTT). The FE results indicate that ACCESS and INFRA robustly and significantly reduce MM and PHL while positively impacting FTT. Notably, INFRA showed the largest effect: a 1 unit increase in INFRA (mobile-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants) correlates with a 0.398 percentage point drop in MM, confirming that network quality is paramount for supply chain streamlining and reducing information asymmetry. Conversely, the POLICY variable was largely insignificant. Supplementary analysis attributes this weakness to policy frameworks overemphasizing upstream (production) technology and neglecting critical downstream (marketing and logistics) inefficiencies. The study concludes that while market-driven DT investment is a proven driver of VCE, the full potential of government intervention requires a strategic reorientation toward addressing downstream value chain challenges.
