Urea Deep Placement

Assessing the level farmers’ usage of fertilizer deep placement is important to improve the efficiency of soil nutrient. Extension organisations responsible for the dissemination of the technology will immensely benefit by knowing the level of usage of the technology for future extension programme implementation. In light of this, we examined the use of urea deep placement technology among rice farmers. Frequency count was used to identify rice farmers that use Urea Deep Placement technology and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was employed to determine factors associated to use of the technology. The study found that majority (85.8%) were aware of UDP technology between the year 2012 to 2013 (61.6%) mainly through agricultural extension agents (55%) and fellow farmers (25%). Majority (81.7%) tried it but few (11.7%) adopted it. Labour intensiveness (58.3%) is one of the reasons for non-adoption while the few adopters (10%) adopted because the technology increases productivity. Age of farmers is positively related the use of UDP technology. The study focuses on the use of urea deep placement technology provided by extension services among farmers; however, these farmers may have an interest in other types of fertilizer and methods of application that have not been investigated. The study provides an insight to show the usage of UDP among farmers engaged in rice production as a means to improve the efficiency of soil nutrient.

This study aims to analyze the economic benefits, income of rice farming, allocation of credit usage and analyze the factors affecting the chances of the smoothness rate of return at Seandanan Agricultural Cooperatives. The research is conducted at Seandanan Agricultural Cooperative in Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province, which is determined intentionally.  The research data were taken in July 2019.  This study uses a case study method.  Respondents in this study are 70 rice farmers member of Seandanan Agricultural Cooperative. The data analysis method use descriptive qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results showed that the economic benefits received by members of cooperative in one year is IDR1,711,312.47 and in high category. The average income of rice farming received by members of the Seandanan Agricultural Cooperative in one year has been classified as high, in the amount over cash costs and over total costs, respectively, of IDR17,308,552.78 and IDR16,416,268.56.  Allocation of credit of cooperative membersconsistd of 58.85% for productive activities and the rest, 41.15% for consumptive activities.  Factors that affect the chances of the smoothness rate of credit return by rice farmers members of Seandanan Agricultural Cooperative are the education level of farmers and the allocation of productive credit usage.Key words: agricultural cooperatives, consumptive, credit, and productive

Abstract Farmers' capacity to manage rice paddy farming is closely related to individuals' behaviour in managing the farm. Farmer capacity building program has been widely and often conducted relevant government innovation lowland rice farm and delivered to farmers. Still, the farmers cannot give a proper response to lowland rice farm management innovation, especially in terms of strengthening farmers' capacity. This study aims to: (1) determine the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers and (2) to analyze the factors related to the capacity level of rice paddy farmers. The research was conducted in the northern part of Tangerang Regency (Pantura), the centre for rice production in the Tangerang Regency. The research was conducted from July to November 2020. Data was collected through FGD interviews and observations of 150 farmers. The data analysis used descriptive test and multiple regression. The results showed that the farmer capacity in managing lowland rice farming in Tangerang district was classified as moderate, both in resource utilization, problem identification, farming planning, and adaptability. The main factor determining the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers is formal education and nonformal education.

Farming Households

Indonesia is a country whose majority lives of agriculture and food crop agriculture remains the livelihoods of the majority of the Indonesian population. South Sumatera province is one that is a center for food crops, especially rice. A district that has irrigation and a rice production center in South Sumatera is Musi Rawas District. In 10 years (1993-2013) recorded a decrease in the number of rice farmers households is significant in Indonesia, including in South Sumatera. Changes in the amount of rice farming households in the province of South Sumatera by Agricultural Census 2013 indicates the state of declining, even in the central areas of food. This situation is further interesting to study the determinants of primary business of rice farmers to plant non-food and non-agriculture, especially in the central areas of food and irrigated in South Sumatera, Indonesia. This study used survey method and logistic regression for the analysis data. The result shows that factors affecting farmers’ decision to switch or not switch from the main businesses, namely rice farm to farm fish, rubber and non-agricultural businesses is land area, household income from rice, the income of non rice, grain price at farmers level, revenue from non paddy, costs of farming, commodity prices, employment opportunities outside of the main business, farming experience and knowledge of farmers on land conversion rules.

The aim of this study deals with reasons that almost paddy farmers in Mekong River Delta have to procure farm inputs in debt. With 216 households interviewed by questionnaires in An Giang province and using regression model, the study has found that the lack of capital for rice production and the cost of farm inputs are key elements to impact positively on paddy farmers who procure inputs in debt. Furthermore, householder’s paddy growing experience, rice selling price, residential area, and value of the property affect negatively inputs procurement in debt of rice farmers. In addition, household size, farm size, and interest of purchase of inputs in debt influence positively on rice farmers when they purchase inputs on credit.

Impacting Factors

Relationship quality plays a key role in maintaining the connection among parties in a supply chain. Relationship quality promotes loyalty of the supply chain’s factors. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to point out factors affecting the relationship quality and loyalty between farmers and food companies in the rice supply chain. The research data were collected by stratified sampling with a sample size of 232 farmers associating with food companies in the rice supply chain in the Mekong Delta. The four impacting factors that the study has found out include trust, perceived benefit, support policy, and payment terms. Most importantly, the study has demonstrated that relationship quality has a positive correlation with loyalty among parties in the regional rice supply chain.
