Abstract Farmers’ corporations are a form of farmer economic empowerment that unites all farmer resources and manages them in an integrated management. Batur Subdistrict, is one of the potato-producing centers in Banjarnegara District. This paper aims to analyze the potential for developing farmer corporations in the potato agribusiness system in Batur Subdistrict, Banjarnegara. The Farmer Corporation Model developed refers to the Ministry of Agriculture No. 18 of 2018, which is in the form of cooperatives or other legal entities with the majority of capital ownership by farmers. The data comes from the results of the 2020 study. Respondents consist of potato farmers, administrators of the Dieng Farmers Union (SPD), owners of subsidized fertilizer shop, potato seed breeders, agricultural extension workers, potato marketing actors, and managers of Agribusiness Microfinance Institutions (LKMA). Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively descriptively by taking into account technical, economic and management aspects. The results of the study indicate that the existing farmer institutions in Batur Subdistrict, both technically, economically, and management have the potential to develop farmer corporations. The corporate model formulated is the growth of primary and secondary cooperatives which include potato seed cooperatives, farming capital cooperatives, potato production facilities cooperatives, and potato marketing cooperatives. The amount of economic value that can be obtained by each potato farmer with the existence of a corporation ranges from Rp. 1.04 - 2.07 million per year. In order for a farmer corporation to run and provide benefits to farmers, support from the government is needed in the form of assistance, business training, and initial capital.

Abstract Background Potato represents Egypt’s largest vegetable export crop. Many plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are globally inflicting damage to potato plants. In Egypt, their economic significance considerably varies according to PPN distribution, population levels, and pathogenicity. Main body This review article highlights the biology, ecology, and economic value of the PPN control viewpoint. The integration of biological control agents (BCAs), as sound and safe potato production practice, with other phytosanitary measures to manage PPNs is presented for sustainable agriculture. A few cases of BCA integration with such other options as synergistic/additive PPN management measures to upgrade crop yields are reviewed. Yet, various attributes of BCAs should better be grasped so that they can fit in at the emerging and/or existing integrated management strategies of potato pests. Conclusion A few inexpensive biocontrol products, for PPNs control on potato, versus their corresponding costly chemical nematicides are gathered and listed for consideration. Hence, raising awareness of farmers for making these biologicals familiar and easy to use will promote their wider application while offering safe and increased potato yield.

Irish potato is one of the major staple food and cash crops in Cameroon. Several studies have been conducted on the agronomic aspect of the crop, but very little is known on the technical efficiency of potato producers in the country. This study examines the technical efficiency of smallholder Irish potato producers in the Santa subdivision and the determinants of technical efficiency. Data were collected through surveys of Irish potato producers, and analyses were conducted using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Tobit model. The research findings imply that, in order to reduce the level of technical inefficiencies among smallholder Irish potato producers, appropriate training should be provided to farmers in order to improve their agronomic knowledge with respect to potato production. In addition, emphasis should be placed on policies and programs that promote extension services in order to improve the performance of Irish potato producers in the Santa subdivision. Again, more credit institutions, such as microfinance institutions, should be established by the government in order to help farmers access enough credit for potato production.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the sought-after horticultural commodities and has a high economic value. Potato production in Indonesia is still relatively low compared to potato production in other countries. One obstacle in producing potato is the use of sufficiently high capital in potato seed production activities. Kertasari Subdistrict is one of the areas of potato seed production in West Java, especially in Bandung District. Capital constraints have caused farmers have to look for sources of financing that can meet their needs in order to continuously produce potato seeds. Some farmers rely on formal and non-formal financing sources while some others are able to meet capital needs with personal costs. The purpose of this research is to identify funding sources and potato seeds produced by farmers in Kertasari Subdistrict, Bandung District. This research uses a quantitative research design using a descriptive approach. Data analysis tools used are descriptive analysis using cross tabulation analysis. The results showed that farmers who produced potato seeds in Kertasari Subdistrict, Bandung District with funding sources from commercial banks, relatives or neighbors, and private funds had higher production yields compared to farmers without funding from these sources. Whereas farmers without funding from farmer groups, buyers, and agricultural kiosks, had higher production yields compared to farmers who had funding from these sources.

Agricultural products, including potatoes, are still faced with several problems with fluctuations and quite high price sensitivity, mainly due to changes in demand and supply. Decreased (degenerative) production occurs because of the disease that accumulates in each generation of potato seeds and continues to be carried over to the next generation. So that certified potato seeds are needed to increase farmers' production. This study will analyze the influence of the factors of farmer age, education level, farming experience, productivity, seed price, land area, farmer group participation in influencing farmers' decisions to use certified potato seeds. From the total population of potato farmers as many as 365 farmers in Parbuluan District, Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, testing was carried out on 78 samples with the results that the variables of productivity, price, farmer group participation had a significant effect on the use of certified potato seeds, while the variables of age, education, experience, area Land does not have a significant effect on the use of certified potato seeds and productivity, price, farmer group participation, age, education, experience, and land area all influence farmers' decisions to use certified potato seeds. Keywords: Certified Potato Seed, Potato Farmer, Potato Production.

Horticulture commodities, especially potatoes have a relatively high risk and economic value. Potato farming risks include production risk due to climate anomalies that cause pest and disease attacks, natural disasters, price risk, and other market risks. Knowledge of risk will direct farmers’ behavior on production activities and their farming performance. The objectives of this study were: (1) identify the risks from each potato farmer’s perceptions, (2) evaluate the priority risk for each potato farmer, (3) analyze the production performance of each potato farmer, and (4) compile a risk mitigation strategy potato farmer in Batu City. Research location choosen by multistage cluster sampling from subdistricts to villages that is a potato production’s center. The data were collected by structured interviews. The FAHP was used to analyze the risk faced by potato farmers. Measurement of potato production performance is carried out by analyzing technical efficiency using the DEA BCC model. The risk mitigation strategy is formulated considering risk priorities and the performance achieved by potato farmers. According to results, it is shows that collectively the highest risk comes from operational aspect by the score of 0,35. These operational risks can be mitigated by using desease-resistant varieties. The results of the potato production’s performance shows that 58,33% of the farmers are technically efficient. According to scale efficiency, 65% of farmers are operating on the IRS

Abstract Virus diseases are of key importance in potato production and in particular for the production of disease-free potato seed. However, there is little known about the frequency and distribution of potato virus diseases in Ireland. Despite a large number of samples being tested each year, the data has never been collated either within or across years. Information from all known potato virus testing carried out in the years 2006–2012 by the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine was collated to give an indication of the distribution and incidence of potato virus in Ireland. It was found that there was significant variation between regions, varieties, years and seed classes. A definition of daily weather data suitable for aphid flight was developed, which accounted for a significant proportion of the variation in virus incidence between years. This use of weather data to predict virus risk could be developed to form the basis of an integrated pest management approach for aphid control in Irish potato crops.

SummaryThree seasons of on-farm experimentation to develop potato production from botanical or true potato seed (TPS) under cool fertile conditions in West Java, Indonesia, are described. Twenty-three farmers experimented with two production systems: use of transplants, and use of seedling tubers produced in nursery beds. There was little yield difference between the systems, but an apparent progeny × system × season interaction was observed. All progenies were more resistant to late blight than the present cultivars grown from tubers. Appropriate matching of progeny and system gave seed of comparable quality with, but total yields slightly less than, certified imported seed of cv. Granola. Ware quality was slightly better than that of cv. Granola. Production costs were markedly less than for a tuber crop, making TPS ideal for small, resource-poor farmers.

The Quebec Water Policy was launched in November 2002 in support of reform of the water governance. One of the government commitments is to gradually implement watershed-based management for 33 major watercourses located primarily in the St. Lawrence plain. At the local and regional levels, watershed organizations are responsible for implementing integrated management, from a sustainable-development perspective, by preparing a master plan for water (MPW), which will include watercourses, lakes, wetlands and aquifers. These watershed organizations rely on public consultation, as well as local and regional expertise, on the responsibilities for water of the municipalities and regional county municipalities of the territory, as well as those of the ministries and other government agencies. They are also required to observe national priorities regarding protection, restoration, and development of water resources and to comply with relevant guidelines, directives, standards, regulations, and legislation. The role of watershed organizations is to act as planning and consultation tables. Government representatives are present, on the initial process, as the facilitator and for scientific and technical support. They do not have, at this moment, any voting or decisional rights. After two years, integrated water management mobilized water stakeholders on watersheds and they are on their way to initiating their first MPW.

In 2008, the first Coal Bed Methane (CBM) PSC was signed in Indonesia. To date, 54 CBM PSCs have been awarded to explore and develop CBM Block in Indonesia. Twelve years later, only one PSC has submitted a Plan of Development but has not yet produced gas commercially. Most CBM PSCs have been struggling during the 10 years’ exploration period and some may receive extensions for 3 years under specific conditions. The lack of integrated authorities’ approval in the overlay of coal mining and natural gas production areas has become a great obstacle for CBM Development. Besides that, the government regulations in CBM activities have defects in PSC contract terms that may lead marginal economic value for contractors, especially due to high investment during the early development (C. Irawan, 2017). On the other hand, drilling regulations, Pipe Classing standards and Testing Standards following the Oil and Gas standards are too expensive for CBM Investment. According to our observations, CBM Regulations in Indonesia should be modified starting from the Exploration period, Production Sharing Contract Terms and Standard Operating Procedures to suit Indonesian CBM characteristics. Good coordination within government departments is a must for the success of CBM Exploration and Development.
