Data were collected through direct interviews, discussions with farmers, and on-site observations conducted in the Terjun region of Medan Marelan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A simple random sampling method was employed, with 48 samples selected without consideration of population strata. This research adopts a descriptive and quantitative qualitative research approach. The findings reveal two key performance indicators for agricultural extension workers. First, the assessment of visits and training indicated an average score of 146.2, with a 76.14% rating, categorizing it as 'good.' Second, the evaluation of the extension workers' performance yielded a similar score of 146.2, also categorized as 'good.' The correlation analysis between farmer behavior and the performance of agricultural extension workers yielded three distinct outcomes. Firstly, the correlation between farmers' knowledge and the performance of extension workers resulted in a value of 0.175, indicating a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05. Secondly, the correlation between farmers' characteristics and the performance of extension workers showed a coefficient of 0.014, suggesting a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05. Lastly, the correlation between farmers' skills and the performance of extension workers resulted in a coefficient of 0.166, denoting a very weak correlation with a significance value exceeding 0.05.","PeriodicalId":319612,"journal":{"name":"Agriecobis : Journal of Agricultural Socioeconomics and Business","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139307442","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 research focuses on assessing the food security status of households engaged in peatland cultivation in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The chosen research site, Siantan Hilir, was purposively selected due to its prominence as a hub for horticultural agricultural production within the sub-district. The study encompassed a population of 719 individuals, with a sample size of 42 respondents determined using the slovin formula. Primary data was procured through the observation and the administration of questionnaires to farmers, supplemented by secondary data. The findings unveiled a noteworthy trend where the household income of farmers exceeded their expenditures. However, a significant challenge emerged in the form of food expenditure constituting 64.86% of the total expenditures, thereby underscoring potential obstacles to maintaining food security. Furthermore, the moderate categorization of energy adequacy and the stark revelation that 88% of households lacked food security underscored the imperative for enhancements in managing food expenditures and refining consumption patterns in Siantan Hilir.","PeriodicalId":319612,"journal":{"name":"Agriecobis : Journal of Agricultural Socioeconomics and Business","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139309102","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}

{"title":"The Significance of Agricultural Extension Activities for Wetland Rice Farmers in Serang, Indonesia","authors":"Eka Noviyanti, Yudi L.A Salampessy","doi":"10.22219/agriecobis.v6i02.28322","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22219/agriecobis.v6i02.28322","url":null,"abstract":"In the context of Serang, Indonesia, agricultural extension activities have recently faced challenges related to reduced participation, as observed by the majority of agricultural extension officers. This reduced participation manifests through the limited attendance of farmers in meetings, the passive engagement of farmers and their respective groups in facilitating extension activities, and the generally muted response to agricultural technology content presented during these sessions. Conversely, fostering greater participation in agricultural extension activities can be achieved through coordinated efforts with supportive assistance or the provision of incentives. This study aims to assess the significance of agricultural extension activities for wetland rice farmers in Serang, Indonesia. It adopts a qualitative research approach, focusing on the phenomenology of extension activities within the realm of rice farming in Serang. Data analysis for this study employs Husserl's transcendental phenomenology data analysis method, which is incorporated within the interactive model data analysis framework. The information pertaining to the experiences of agricultural extension activities, as recounted by the informants (farmers), was extracted by identifying specific statements made by the farmer informants during interviews. A total of 133 individual verbatim statements provided by informants were systematically categorized. Three overarching themes, or units of meaning, emerged from this categorization, revealing the essence of agricultural extension activities and the informants' perceptions. These themes are as follows: Extension as a Source of Information, Extension as a Source of Technology, and Extension as a Source of Assistance. They encapsulate the texture and structure of the farmers' experiences with rice farming extension activities. The textural description highlights aspects closely linked to the transmission of information, technology, government initiatives, and assistance delivery. The structural aspect examines the meaning of extension activities within the economic, learning, and participation contexts of the participants. Subsequently, the combined meaning and essence of the rice farming extension experiences for each farmer informant are synthesized, collectively painting a comprehensive picture of their experiences. These experiences extend beyond the acquisition of agricultural knowledge and technology; they also encompass the provision of much-needed assistance for farmers to effectively adopt and implement these innovations.","PeriodicalId":319612,"journal":{"name":"Agriecobis : Journal of Agricultural Socioeconomics and Business","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139306830","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}

Within the organic market, predominantly catering to the upper to middle-class demographic in Batu, East Java, Indonesia, consumer preferences dictate heightened product specifications and, consequently, necessitate a focus on quality. To fortify market presence, this study advocates for the direct involvement of organic farmers throughout the entire production-to-marketing continuum, transforming them into not just cultivators but entrepreneurs. In the face of escalating competition, product quality emerges as a paramount subsystem requiring prioritization. The study employs the quality function method for planning and developing pertinent organic vegetable products aligned with consumer interests, identifying areas for improvement. The primary objective is to ascertain consumer demands and devise corrective measures to augment satisfaction. Employing the online survey method, participants were limited to consumers who had purchased organic vegetable products from Batu-based farmers in East Java at least twice. Analyzing the data revealed that consumer prioritized quality attributes encompassed vegetable cleanliness, product pricing, and ease of accessibility. Notably, technical interventions such as the implementation of Good Handling Practices, Internal Control System (ICS), and enhancing service quality during organic vegetable cultivation significantly influenced consumer interest attributes, fostering heightened satisfaction. This study contributes valuable insights for organic farmers and stakeholders seeking to optimize product quality in response to evolving consumer demands.","PeriodicalId":319612,"journal":{"name":"Agriecobis : Journal of Agricultural Socioeconomics and Business","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139307869","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}
