ABSTRAK Sebagai daerah agraris, sektor pertanian menjadi mata pencaharian terpenting bagi sebagian besar masyarakat di kabupaten Musi Rawas. Untuk itu Pengembangan potensi lahan dan pemberdayaan pelaku usaha tani menjadi bidang garapan yang perlu mendapat perhatian khusus. Dalam upaya tersebut, penyuluhan pertanian menjadi faktor penting, penyuluhan pertanian bukan lagi hanya sebagai faktor pelancar pembangunan akan tetapi sabagai pemicu sekaligus pemacu pembangunan pertanian (Dimas dan Djuaini, 2014) khususnya di Kabupaten Musi Rawas. Kendala terbesar dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan penyuluhan  di kabupaten Musi Rawas yaitu faktor luas wilayah serta letak geografis Kabupaten Musi Rawas dimana kabupaten Musi Rawas memiliki luas daerah lebih kurang 2.256,44 km2 dengan kontur geografis perbukitan sehingga pelaksanaan pelayanan penyuluhan pertanian tidak dapat dilakukan dengan cepat, tepat serta menjangkau wilayah pelosok. SMS Gateway merupakan perpaduan antara teknologi komunikasi dan teknologi informasi. SMS Gateway dapat melakukan pengiriman dan penerimaan data melalui SMS yang dikirim oleh ponsel ke komputer atau dari komputer ke ponsel (Latief Noor Astuwaito, 2012). Dengan memanfaatkan teknologi tersebut maka para petani di kabupaten Musi Rawas akan lebih mudah mendapatkan informasi tentang tata cara budidaya tanaman pertanian, harga komoditi pertanian serta permasalahan tentang pertanian. Selain itu juga pelaksanaan kegiatan penyuluhan pertanian akan lebih mudah dan mampu menjangkau wilayah pelosok.   Kata kunci : penyuluh, smsgateway, web   ABSTRACT  As an agricultural area, the agricultural sector is the most important livelihood for most people in the district of Musi Rawas. For this reason, the development of land potential and empowerment of farmer actors is a field of work that needs special attention. In this effort, agricultural counseling is an important factor, agricultural extension is no longer just a factor of accelerating development but as a trigger as well as boosting agricultural development (Dimas and Djuaini, 2014) especially in the District of Musi Rawas. The biggest obstacle in the implementation of extension activities in the four lawang district is the factor of area and geographical location of the Musi Rawas District where Musi Rawas district has an area of ​​approximately 2,256.44 km2 with geographical contours of the hills so that the implementation of agricultural extension services cannot be carried out quickly, precisely and reach remote areas. SMS Gateway is a combination of communication technology and information technology. SMS Gateway can send and receive data via SMS sent by cellphone to computer or from computer to cellphone (Latief Noor Astuwaito, 2012). By utilizing this technology, the farmers in the Four Lawang district will find it easier to obtain information about the procedures for cultivating agricultural crops, agricultural commodity prices and problems regarding agriculture. In addition, the implementation of agricultural extension activities will be easier and able to reach remote areas.   Keywords : agent, smsgateway, web

Research Findings

The ADPs were designed in response to a fall in agricultural productivity and hence a concern to sustain domestic food supplies. The study examined “Financing Agriculture in Nigeria through Agricultural Extension Services of Agricultural Development Programmes.” It sought to ascertain the extent to which agricultural extension services of the agricultural development programmes have impacted the financing of agriculture in six selected local government areas in Edo South senatorial district, Nigeria using a sample of 120 respondents. Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. Interview schedule served as the research instrument. The research data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation, which served as the inferential statistics. The research findings showed that the extension services of ADP have impacted significantly on crop development in the selected communities but have not had significant impact on employment creation and the development of infrastructural facilities. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference between the implementation of the projects in the selected communities, as revealed by the correlation test. On the basis of the research findings, the need for a complete redesign of the project to ensure that it achieves its stated goals as well as ensure proper monitoring of its implementation were suggested, among others.

Production Relations

On the basis of archival sources and studies of Bulgarian historians, the peculiarities of changes in production relations and productivity of the agrarian sector of the Bulgarian economy in the context of European integration are revealed. It is analyzed which sectors of agriculture developed, and which, on the contrary, were in a state of stagnation. In the process of Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union, the agrarian sector of the economy needed modernization of the management system and the reform of production relations.In the Bulgarian countryside, during the period of 1990-2007, a process of reforming agricultural production relations was taking place, accompanied by the conditions of European integration, which, in turn, led to the need for transformation of all spheres of agriculture in the country. One of the most important was the agrarian sphere. During the period of 1944 – 1989, the transformation in the agrarian sector of agricultural commodity production was rather controversial: the imperfection of land reform, namely land privatization, intensive process of agricultural co-operation, led to the creation of gaps in the development of all spheres of the agrarian sector. With the integration of Bulgaria into the European Union, the issue of harmonization of the agricultural production sector with the requirements of the European Union in the field of intensification of agricultural development and promotion of trade with the European Union with agrarian products became important. Given the current state of European integration processes in Ukraine, a comprehensive study of the historical conditions of the agricultural reforms in agriculture, which will allow us to analyze the problems and determine the prospects for its development on the path of integration into the European economic space, is relevant.

Agricultural Input

Aims: The liberalization of the agricultural sector has facilitated the advent of multitude stakeholders with varied profiles involved in the provision of numerous services to agriculture. This study analyzes the advisory and extension services that support the provision of agricultural inputs in two Divisions of the Western Region of Cameroon (Mifi and Menoua). Study Design and Methodology: These areas are home to about 60% of the private agricultural input distributors involved in the provision of agricultural advisory and extension services within the region Data collected by questionnaire and interview guide were carried out with 62 agricultural inputs sellers with input shops on the one hand, and 7 managers of a number of organizations involved in the provision of agricultural services on the other hand.   Results: private agricultural input providers use several agricultural advisory and extension approaches: 42% among them use agricultural extension approach, while 32% use advice to the family farm approach, 21% use organizational capacity building advice and 5%, demand driven approaches. The terms for providing these agricultural extension and advisory services depend on the rationalities of each of these providers. Some agricultural extension and advisory services providers (NGOs, CIGs) promote agroecology through the diffusion of organic inputs, while others promote conventional agriculture through the popularization of synthetic chemical inputs. Access to services by beneficiaries are either paid-offerings or free-offerings. Findings also reveal that in some cases, the actions of some of these providers in the field are intertwined and lead to a collaborative relationship, while in other cases providers work completely compartmentalized leading to negative effects and low performance of the local agricultural extension and advisory system. Conclusion: The advent of private providers has increased the number of actors with various profiles leading to potential advantages (e.g., includes access to agricultural information). Yet these potentials have not yet been fully valorized in the provision of agricultural advisory and extension services to farmers. And the needs of farmers have only been partially met. It would be equally crucial to factor climate risks as integral part of extension and advisory services.

Practical Implications

During the last 10 years, different initiatives have been implemented to provide mobile-based extension services for the agricultural sector in Egypt. The current study compared the quality of agricultural extension messages between public and private providers. A simple random sample of 120 farmers was selected representing 7% of the total farmers registered in the databases of Ministry of Agriculture (public services) and Shoura company (private services). Farmers assessed a sample of 10 messages delivered by both providers in terms of six indicators namely (1) access, (2) utilization, (3) timeliness, (4) trust, (5) satisfaction, and (6) sharing information with other farmers. The findings revealed the lack of access to messages by the farmers in the two services. However, more than 50% had utilized the majority of messages (in case of access). The study also showed significant differences between perception of farmers to quality attributes in public and private services (Access 6.77, 0.01; Utilization 8.44, 0.004; Timeliness 8.55, 0.002; Satisfaction 8.88, 0.001; information sharing 7.62, 0.009) except for trust (1.11, 0.4). Findings provide practical implications to support mobile-based extension services to enable sharing information and link farmers with other actors in the agricultural value chain.

Extension System

Agricultural extension system plays a crucial role in increasing agricultural productivity and farm income, strengthening food security, improving rural livelihoods, and promoting agriculture as an engine of rural economic growth. In India, a Central Department of Agriculture was established after the Orissa famine during 1866. Department of Agriculture in Bihar was established in 1912 after separation of Bihar from Bengal. After independence, several programmes like IADP, IAAP, HYVP etc were implemented in Bihar, which fetched good results. Later on, Training and Visit approach of extension was also implemented which was subsequently replaced by NATP. Currently, pluralistic extension services in Bihar is prevailing which includes central and state Government agencies, ICAR, KVKs, SAUs, NGOs and private sector organizations. Despite all the efforts, transfer of technology programmes are yet to achieve desired success. Duplication of extension services is being observed as many agencies work in same set of selected villages. Recently, using Agriculture Road Map of Bihar, Government has launched several agricultural development programmes for transfer of modern agricultural technology, which may likely to improve access of farmers to modern agricultural technology. To make extension more pragmatic, some of the activities including supply of quality inputs and market linkage of the produce should be the part of core extension programme.

The Impact

E-government is the employment of latest technologies and innovative practices in the services offered by the government and other information management systems to increase transparency and efficiency of these services. Agricultural extension services involve all the new and latest technologies related to the agricultural sector of a country. Agricultural sector is important for any country as most of the people are associated with this sector. This research studies the impact of e-government adoption and agricultural extension services on agricultural growth in ASEAN countries. In addition to these variables, two control variables i.e. literacy rate and population have also been used. The studies from the past research have been discussed in literature review section of this paper. To conduct research, data about the above-mentioned variables has been collected from ASEAN countries consisting of 28 years. After using several techniques and approaches, one of the two major hypotheses of this study is accepted along with the impact of a control variable, literacy rate. However, the other major hypothesis and the impact of other control variable i.e. population is rejected. This study has various theoretical, practical and policy making implications to increase agricultural growth.
