This article aims to examine what factors can influence the growth of student purchase intention on green products. The expansion of the Theory of Planned Behaviour was carried out to include two factors that are expected to influence student purchase intention, namely environmental knowledge and self-transcendence. Cluster random sampling is used to select samples that previously have been calculated using the Taro Yamane formula and the Parel formula with a total sample size of 136 samples. The results processed with the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square) showed that environmental knowledge was found to be unable to influence student purchase intention on green products, this is supported by the statement that high knowledge is not always in line with attitudes and practices generated. Self-transcendence was found to affect the growth of student purchase intention in green products, and this can happen because self-transcendence can affect the formation of consumer purchase intention.","PeriodicalId":130060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Socio-Economics Journal","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127779931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire administered to 232 farmers comprising of 93 clustering and 139 non-clustering rice farmers in Borno State, Nigeria. Data were subjected to analytical techniques that included descriptive statistics, gross margin, t-test and stochastic frontier production function (SFPF). Cluster rice farming enterprise per hectare was more profitable by producing a gross margin (GM) of 196,020.62/ha thus returning N1.72 on every N1.00 invested as compared to non-cluster farming which produced a GM of 99,619.32/ha and thus had a return of N0.96 on every N1.00 invested. The SFPF revealed an average technical efficiency (TE) of 0.76 for cluster farming was higher than 0.58 for non-cluster farmers. Hence, cluster rice farming was more technically efficient compared to non-cluster rice farming. The determining factors of TE in cluster farming include seed (-0.49), fertilizer (0.242), agro-chemicals (0.341) and labour (0.747) compared to non-cluster which included fertilizer (0.207), agro-chemicals (-0.291) and labour (0.668). Inefficiency variables were insignificant in cluster farming while household members active in farming (0.811), years of farming experience (-0.226), and amount of credit utilized (0.5e-4) were statistically significant in non-cluster farming. Insecurity, pest infestation and shortage of water were critical production constraints faced by cluster farmers compared to non-cluster farmers faced with constraints such as shortage of water, insecurity and flooding. Non-clustering farmers should adopt production cluster farming to boost their profit, increase their efficiency and take advantage of the enormous services attributed to working in groups.","PeriodicalId":130060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Socio-Economics Journal","volume":"58 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114059151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this paper aims to recommend a sustainable farming method for organic vegetable production. Results of the study revealed that the organic focal person-key informants would highly recommend farming practices such as crop rotation, and intercropping for crop planning and management, composting, green manures and animal manure for nutrient management, pest and disease management, weed management, soil cultivation and tillage, plant propagation such as traditional varieties and seed conservation, and diversified farming system. As reported, there are no specific local markets for organic products in Bukidnon, as well as international markets. Among the issues and concerns raised by the key informants, organic certification is the topmost issue. This issue set a little drawback and discouraged some farmers from going organic. Recently, the senate in the Philippines finally approved the amendment of RA 10068, a bill recognizing the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS). They can now certify organic producers, compared to before when only third-party certifying bodies could certify and label organic products.","PeriodicalId":130060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Socio-Economics Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128083183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results reveal the three practices with the highest level of awareness: fertilizer application, weed control, and pest control. The GAPs practiced mostly by the tomato farmers are fertilizer application, row planting, disease control, and weed control. Results of the Tobit regression model show the extent (intention and actual use) of adoption of GAPs by tomato farmers is influenced by the age of the farmer, years spent in school, years in farming, sources of information, membership of farmer groups, availability of market, performance expectation, and social influence. The results from the study also show that among the major challenges affecting the use of GAPs, lack of credit facilities was ranked first.

In addition to providing food and industrial raw materials, it contributes significantly to the growth of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign exchange, employment, and rural household income. One of the important triggers for the decline in harvested area and rice production in Musi Rawas Regency is the decline in rice field area due to the conversion of rice fields to non-rice fields. Conflicts over water resources vary from one area to another because water is not evenly distributed both in space and time. Therefore, this paper describes changes in the household population of rice farmers and changes in the population of aquaculture farmers in Musi Rawas Regency. This research was conducted using quantitative methods through a descriptive observational approach to secondary data obtained from the Government of Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The distribution of descriptive data was analyzed univariately using the SPSS Statistic 25.0 application. The area of rice fields increased from 2019 to 2021, followed by the number of farmers which also increased. The area of aquaculture is relatively stable in 2020 and 2021 and has increased compared to 2019. Meanwhile, aquaculture households from 2019 to 2021 continue to increase. he findings indicate the expansion of new rice fields (extensification) due to the need for new rice fields due to the increase in the population of farmers. The population of fish farmers is increasing even though the fishery area is constant. This condition indicates the fragmentation of fishery land.","PeriodicalId":130060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Socio-Economics Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121230661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This goal is based on several problems encountered when conducting the initial survey, such as ginger farmers only getting a small profit because they only market their products in the form of raw or unprocessed ginger so there is a significant difference in selling prices at the farmer level. This research's data analysis method consists of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis was used to identify marketing channels for ginger in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. In contrast, quantitative analysis was used to determine marketing efficiency and the amount of added value resulting from the innovation of ginger products into ginger powder using the Hayami method. The results showed that the marketing channel for ginger in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency consisted of Farmers - Collectors - Retailers - Consumers. From these results, there are two marketing institutions in the ginger marketing channel, namely collectors and retailers. The value of the marketing margin obtained through the ginger marketing channel which is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by farmers is Rp. 8,500. The value of a farmer's share in the ginger marketing channel is based on the price received by farmers from the final consumer price of 66% with a profit ratio of 6.9 which indicates that the ginger marketing channel in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency can be said to be efficient. The added value of processing ginger into powdered ginger is Rp. 79,000/kg with a value-added ratio of 39.50% and a profit of Rp. 74,000 or 37%. The large percentage of processing profits indicates that selling powdered ginger processing products is more profitable than selling fresh products.","PeriodicalId":130060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Socio-Economics Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117114818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
