<em>The purpose of this study was to analyze the structure of transaction cost and analyze farmers profit on Arabica Gayo Coffee Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) in Central Aceh District. Transaction Costs Analysis (TCA) was used to analize transaction cost structure at selling delay activity and financing activity on WRS. While the ratio of transaction costs to farmers' profit was used to determine the level of effectiveness of WRS. The research was conducted at PT. Ketiara Warehouse, West Aceh district, Aceh. The selected samples were all 4o farmers of Arabica Gayo WRS in Central Aceh Regency. The highest transction cost was on delay selling activity (64,07%) than transaction cost on warehouse receipt financing activity (35,93%). Implementation of the warehouse receipt system in PT. Ketiara provided more benefits to the participants because average percentage ratio between the cost of the transaction with the benefit of <10 percent. Transaction costs and effectiveness of WRS need more attention and focus on the improvement of these two things to maximize the implementation and sustainability of Gayo Arabica Coffee WRS in Central Aceh District.</em>

The problem of agricultural marketing in Indonesia that often occurs is the limited access to capital and falling prices during the main harvest. Therefore, the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) is a solution for farmers because it can delay sales, protect value, and guarantee commodity prices. Coffee WRS in Central Aceh District has generated funding through 2.5 billion warehouse receipts. However, the interest of coffee farmers to get involved in WRS activities is still very low. The writing of this paper aims to analyze qualitative descriptive information, implementation, and evaluation materials for the government in the implementation of the Gayo Arabica coffee WRS program in Central Aceh District. The study uses qualitative and tiered methods of WRS information using primary and secondary data. The results showed that most farmers found it difficult to meet SRG quality and quality standards so that it also influenced the interest of farmers in the WRS involvement which was still low. Quality assurance and quality become the main attraction for farmers to participate, so WRS activities need to be supported in improving facilities and infrastructure. Public understanding of WRS is still limited so massive socialization is needed. The active role of local government in developing the WRS business also needs to be increased to produce higher WRS productivity.
Village Fund is a tremendous budget decentralization scheme in Indonesia. The program has been showing its impacts, particularly in public infrastructure revitalization in rural areas since 2015. This study aims to examine the performance of Village Funds and their impacts on post-disaster economic re-developments. The descriptive statistic analysis was applied to secondary data derived from the 2015-2019 financial reports of 19 villages in Pidie Jaya (Aceh-Indonesia). This study shows that performance in terms of economic output is very poor. The Village Fund failed to generate the Original Village Income through the establishment of the Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDes).
