Opportunities and Challenges in the Utilization of Warehouse Receipts for Coffee Farmers in Central Aceh District

This article aims to analyze and explain the opportunities and challenges for coffee farmers in obtaining financing from banks using Warehouse Receipts (RG) as collateral. Capital for coffee production costs is one of the obstacles coffee farmers face in Central Aceh. As one of the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) commodities, coffee can be used as collateral in the form of Warehouse Receipts issued by the WRS warehouse. It is under the provisions of Law No. 9 of 2009 concerning WRS. This research is empirical juridical research. Data were obtained through interviews with farmers/farmer groups, warehouse managers, and Disperindagkop Central Aceh District. This research found that Central Aceh farmers/farmer groups have an excellent opportunity to get financing with Warehouse Receipts as collateral. It can be seen from the support of the local Government in accelerating the certification process for 3 WRS warehouses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, in Central Aceh, 5 WRS warehouses can accommodate the harvests of farmers/farmer groups. In addition, the existence of farmer groups and cooperatives can also strengthen farmers' opportunities to meet the require-ments for obtaining Warehouse Receipts. However, currently, the implementation of the WRS in Central Aceh is still not running optimally. It can be seen from the use of WRS, which is still very minimal. Of the five available WRS warehouses, only two have issued Warehouse Receipts, namely 110 SRG warehouses owned by the Government and PT. 3. In addition, currently, WRS is only used by entrepreneurs/cooperateves/ex-porters, while farmers/farmer groups have not yet utilized it. Until now, farmers/farmer groups still use the mechanism of selling coffee directly to collectors, which harms them in certain circumstances. The farmers do not use this WRS to obtain financing from the bank or delay selling. Another obstacle is related to the implementation of the Qanun on Sharia Financial Institutions in Aceh.

Probability of detection, localization, and sizing: The evolution of reliability metrics in Structural Health Monitoring

The successful implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems is confined to the capability of evaluating their performance, reliability, and durability. Although there are many SHM techniques capable of detecting, locating and quantifying damage in several types of structures, their certification process is still limited. Despite the effort of academia and industry in defining methodologies for the performance assessment of such systems in recent years, many challenges remain to be solved. Methodologies used in Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) have been taken as a starting point to develop the required metrics for SHM, such as Probability of Detection (POD) curves. However, the transposition of such methodologies to SHM is anything but straightforward because additional factors should be considered. The time dependency of the data, the larger amount of variability sources and the complexity of the structures to be monitored exacerbate/aggravate the existing challenges, suggesting that much work has still to be done in SHM. The article focuses on the current challenges and barriers preventing the development of proper reliability metrics for SHM, analyzing the main differences with respect to POD methodologies for NDE. It was found that the development of POD curves for SHM systems requires a higher level of statistical expertise and their use in the literature is still limited to few studies. Finally, the discussion extends beyond POD curves towards new metrics such as Probability of Localization (POL) and Probability of Sizing (POS) curves, reflecting the diagnosis paradigm of SHM.

Literasi Produk Bersertifikasi Halal Dalam Rangka Meningkatkan Penjualan Pada UMKM

Many local products produced by SMEs in Jember circulating without halal labeling makes the authors compelled to do community service about literacy of halal certification products. Some MSME actors have made changes by managing the halal certification process for their products, so as to increase public confidence in making purchases, which has an impact on increasing product sales turnover. However, the number of business actors who carry out the certification is not comparable to the number of products produced by MSMEs circulating without halal certification. This paper describes the literacy assistance program carried out by the author in its function to provide understanding and knowledge related to halal certification in several MSMEs in Sumbersari District, Jember Regency. Our service program through literacy workshops carried out in two sessions, namely the first session providing theoretical exposure about the meaning of halal products and halal certification, then the next session providing stages of the process of obtaining halal product certification and examples of MSME actors who have implemented it. The results of this community service program have a positive impact on MSME actors, namely understanding the importance of obtaining halal certification and its effect on sales volume. In addition, MSME actors also understand how the stages of managing halal product certification are.

Problematika Transformasi Sertipikasi Tanah Digital

In an effort to realize good and equitable services to all communities, the Ministry of ATR/BPN seeks to become a transparent and accountable institution or known as Good Governance. As an effort to realize this, digital land certification services are one of the steps towards good governance. This study aims to find out the problems faced in realizing digital certificates. The research method was carried out qualitatively, data was presented descriptively, while data collection was carried out through interviews with several respondents, namely the community and employees in the Kerawang Regency Land Office. The results of the study show that several obstacles in digital certificates are caused by internal factors including those related to human resources who are not entirely able to use technology/information, limited office infrastructure, data that has not been integrated and the need for definite checks related to documents in land certificates. While some external factors are related to the community and other agencies, namely not all people have the ability to use information technology, not all people have digital equipment, besides the problem with other agencies, namely the unavailability or integration of data in one system. Some of these problems have caused the digital land certification process to take a long time and do not meet the expected standards.

Farmers Information Needs on Organic Vegetable Farming in Two Agro-climatic Zones of Assam

Most farmers are not aware of the various aspects of organic farming of vegetables despite the fact that the state of Assam is “naturally organic by default”. Besides having tremendous potential to grow crops organically, organic farming is yet to taste success in the state of Assam. Information is currently seen by many as the main limiting factor to growth in the organic sector in the state. Hence, there is need to equip the farmers with the necessary information related to the organic cultivation and certification process with respect to important vegetable crops The study was undertaken in North Bank Plains Zone and Central Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam, primarily to understand farmers’ information needs in relation to organic vegetable production. The study also identified the factors influencing the information needs and constraints as perceived by the farmers in meeting their information needs. A multi-stage, purposive cum proportionate random sampling design was adopted for the study in order to select 120 respondents. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (95.83%) expressed that they need information on inspection and certification process on organic vegetable production, followed by the need for information on soil treatment for organic vegetable production, and on the variety/planting material suitable for organic vegetable production. Findings of correlation analysis indicated that among the 10 independent variables, 6 variables showed significant and positive relationship and 4 variables showed significant and negative relationship with the information needs of farmers in relation to organic vegetable production at 0.01 level of probability. Findings revealed that “lack of knowledge about inspection and certification process of organic vegetable production” was the major constraint faced by the respondents with the highest score (PCI-296) and hence was ranked 1st followed by “Lack of knowledge about market linkages’ (PCI-280) and ‘Lack of access to credit facilities’ (PCI-278) which were ranked 2nd and 3rd important constraints faced by them in meeting their information needs. It implies that NGOs, KVKs, various development workers and extension agencies should put more efforts to modify and channel the information needs of organic vegetable farmers in the desirable direction through their preferred medium.
