Abstract

Agricultural development, specifically cocoa agribusiness, is largely determined by the human resource. When human resources possess high motivation, creativity, and the ability to develop innovation, agricultural development is significantly improved. This phenomenon shows the necessity to strive for empowerment of farmer for capacity improvement. Therefore, this study aimed to (1) describe the level of empowerment of individual farmer and their groups, and (2) analyze influence of individual characteristics of farmer, groups, and the role of counseling in empowerment of groups member. The analysis was carried out in Soppeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, using a combined quantitative and qualitative design. A total of 70 respondents and 12 informants were included, consisting of farmer groups administrator, extension workers, and heads of estate services. Data collection was carried out through surveys and in-depth interviews. Meanwhile, data processing and analysis for this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Partial Least Square (PLS).  The results showed that both farmer and groups empowerment were mostly in the medium category. Furthermore, characteristics of individuals, farmer groups, and the role of counseling significantly affected empowerment of members, including groups. Empowerment of farmer groups also influenced the success of cocoa agribusiness. These results showed that the development of cocoa agribusiness required high empowerment of individual farmer and groups as farmer institutions.

Abstract

Indonesia can use bioenergy to meet its renewable energy consumption target. Community perception must be known when designing communication strategies or policies regarding biogas as a renewable energy source. This study aims to 1) evaluate the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and overall perception of the Gambiran Hamlet, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia residents on biogas from cacao waste, and 2) investigate the factors affecting the perception of the Gambiran Hamlet residents on biogas. Socio-economic data were collected by doing surveys and observation. One sample t-test was conducted to determine the perception of the Gambiran Hamlet community towards biogas made from cacao waste. Moreover, logistic regression was used to determine the factors affecting the perception of biogas. Most of the residents can define biogas properly. Moreover, the residents' attitude and behavior were positive regarding relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, and observability components. Gambiran Hamlet residents’ perception of biogas from cacao waste is positive. Furthermore, the higher the educational attainment and being male, the greater the chance of a positive perception of biogas. However, household size, age, and income are statistically insignificant. Furthermore, socialization, training, and mentoring are needed for biogas installation. This research successfully provides fresh insights into residents' perception of biogas from cacao waste and uncovers key factors, like gender and education, influencing their perception, offering valuable guidance for targeted policy and communication strategies.

Abstract

As a staple food in Indonesia, rice has significant socio-economic value, especially in regions such as West Kalimantan. However, the variability of rice production poses a challenge to food security and economic stability. This study assesses the sustainability of the adoption of new improved rice varieties (VUBs) in West Kalimantan, focusing on social and cultural aspects using Multi-Aspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA). Focus group discussions and expert interviews were used to identify important factors affecting VUB adoption. The results indicated a sustainable adoption status (54.17%), with potential for improvement (58.33%) in the future. Farmer education emerged as the most sensitive factor, highlighting the need for educational interventions to improve technology access and adoption. In addition, farmers' knowledge of VUB, culture of mutual cooperation, the absence of social conflict, and positive consumer preference for VUB rice are also critical for adoption. Recommendations include targeted educational interventions, improved knowledge dissemination strategies, consideration of the cultural context, conflict management approaches, and market-oriented strategies to sustainably increase VUB adoption. Addressing these factors can contribute to sustainable agriculture and rural development in West Kalimantan and similar contexts, ensuring long-term benefits for farmers and food security.

Abstract

Farmers' Terms of Trade is an essential variable for measuring welfare and is also affected by other factors, such as inflation and rice prices. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the interplay among inflation, rice prices, and farmers' Terms of Trade in food crop farming in Central Java Province, in short and long term using a dynamic model. A quantitative method employing Autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) model was used with monthly data from January 2018 to March 2023. The results showed that rice prices and inflation partially had a significant and positive influence on farmers’ Terms of Trade in long term. According to short term estimation, the dependent variable was significantly and positively influenced by farmers' Terms of Trade from the previous 1-2 months. Inflation rate was also shown to have a positive influence on the variable in short term. In addition, rice prices had a positive and significant impact in the previous 3 months, but had no significant influence in recent months. Based on the results, inflation could positively influence farmers’ Terms of Trade in short and long term. However, the recent rice prices had no impact due to the requirement of time lags. The assessment findings showed that recent rice prices could significantly increase farmers’ Terms of Trade in the next 3 months and long term period.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the roles of Agrosilvopasture, MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) Incubation, and financial literacy in supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in rural areas of Indonesia. The study procedures were carried out from April to September 2023 in Pagar Alam City using indigenous communities and stakeholders associated with customary forest management, comprising 100 intentionally selected respondents. Subsequently, the Slovin formula was used to determine the number of respondents, who were then selected using a purposive sampling method. The relationships among variables, including Implementation of Agrosilvopasture (X1), MSME Incubation (X2), Financial Literacy (M), and SDGs (Y), were tested. Data obtained were then analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-SmartPLS. The results of path coefficient analysis showed that Agrosilvopasture had a significant negative influence on financial literacy but a positive impact on SDGs. In addition, MSME incubation yielded a favorable impact on both financial literacy and SDGs. Mediation testing validated that financial literacy served as a mediator in the relationship between Agrosilvopasture and the examined outcomes. Based on the results, financial literacy, Agrosilvopasture implementation, and MSME incubation were crucial for achieving SDGs in rural areas. These holistic approaches offered promising pathways to achieve various SDGs, with financial literacy playing an essential role in enhancing the effectiveness of the strategies.

Abstract

Tourism sector plays an important role in increasing the country's foreign exchange and promoting the creation of jobs to improve the economy. In this context, community organizations manage tourism sites, and the leaders are tasked with directing members to achieve common objectives. An important tourist site is Open Pit Nam Salu Geosite and participation is relatively low since people depend on illegal tin mining. Village government and community organizations are less assertive in overcoming the problems. Therefore, this research aims to analyze development model for increasing participation in tourism management of Open Pit Nam Salu Geosite in Senyubuk Village, Kelapa Kampit District. The location determination was carried out purposively, with 87 respondents selected by cluster sampling method through the PLS test. The results showed an indirect effect of community capital and leadership on participation through group roles. Meanwhile, leadership promoted participation since community capital and group roles served as mediator variables. Pokdarwis and village government were also strengthened in organizing community to maximize the potential of capital in the region and mobilize BAPOPNAS group to manage tourism daily.

Abstract

The use of certified seed is essential for sugarcane agricultural intensification method, emphasizing input quality improvements. In this context, varietal validity has the potential to increase sugarcane output volumes and ensure quality variations. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the variables affecting farmers' decisions on seed varieties, output, and revenue. The type of data used was cross-sectional with a sample of 1,763 respondents, consisting of 303 and 1,460 adopter and non-adopter farmers, respectively. Propensity score matching and logistic regression were the analysis methods used. The results showed that farmers' age, number of workers, land ownership status, extension participation, and partnerships significantly influenced the decisions in selecting seed types. Significant variations in output, gross income, total expenses, net income, and net earnings were also reported using statistical test analysis, with certified seed adopters having higher profits. In this context, young farmers should be targeted to promote the use of certified seed, provide sufficient labor support for intensive farming, ease access to land, and enhance persuasive messages about partnership benefits. Moreover, ensuring the continuity of production and distribution was important to maintain reasonable seed prices and facilitate farmers' access.

Abstract

The transition from conventional farming to organic continues to increase over time. Organic farming, especially organic rice, is becoming something that farmers are interested in because of higher prices and increased consumer demand for organic food products. However, the transition to conventional farming will eventually be followed by the emergence of risks in farming production. This study investigates the factors influencing the production and production risks of organic and non-organic rice farming in Sleman Regency. A total of 45 farmers were sampled in this study, which was determined by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out by interview method. The Just and Pope approach of production risk is used in analyzing the determinants of production and production risk. The analysis results show that the membership period in farmer groups, land area, education, and manure significantly affects farming production. At the same time, organic rice farming is proven to produce higher production than non-organic. The factor that significantly increases production risk is the length of membership in farmer groups. Farmers who join farmer groups have the potential to face higher production risks. This research implies that it is important for the government to provide support by empowering farmer groups to support organic rice farming. Intensive assistance can be carried out to ensure that the role of the chairperson and members of the farmer group functions optimally.

Abstract

This research examines the role of Toko Tani Indonesia (TTI) in the rice supply chain and price determination in Sragen Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the study focused on Sragen, a major rice production center. The samples for this investigation were selected purposively from datasets provided by eleven Community Food Business Institutions and Indonesian Farmer’s Stores that have been recorded in the Office of Agriculture and Food Security of Sragen Regency. The Food Supply Chain Networking (FSCN) model and rice price formation were analyzed qualitatively, while supply chain performance and value-added (VA) were assessed quantitatively. Results revealed a significant reduction in the rice supply chain stages from 6–7 to just 3, improving efficiency. Margins for partner farmers and TTI were calculated at IDR 1,600 per kilogram (51.13% of total margin share) and IDR 300 per kilogram, respectively. Inventory turnover was 12 times annually, with inventory days of supply for farmer groups at 30 days and a cash-to-cash cycle of 37 days. VA analysis showed farmers contributed 72% of total value (IDR 376,216,168), LUPM 26% (IDR 136,678,955), and TTI 2% (IDR 8,090,000). TTI supports farmers by purchasing grains at fair prices, ensuring effective marketing, maintaining rice availability, and stabilizing prices, thus playing a critical role in the community's food security efforts.

Abstract

Chili auction market in Yogyakarta was established with the farmer’s cooperative to strengthen the bargaining position of Sleman’s farmers in receiving fair price for chili. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of chili auction market and the problems affecting its implementation. A quantitative approach was used and the location was determined using the purposive method. The sample population comprised chili farmers, who were selected as participants using the accidental sampling method. This study used both primary and secondary data, which were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Subsequently, analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis and a fishbone diagram. The results showed that the effectiveness rate of auction market based on three approaches (external, internal, and technical) reached 70,03%. In addition, the problems affecting its implementation included the low availability of chili due to climate change, pest and disease attacks, the absence of machines or supporting facilities, price information that was not transparent, and the limited capability of auction market administrators. Requirements for traders also needed to be updated regarding regional boundaries to open opportunities for traders outside DIY and Central Java.
