The value of coconut production in North Sulawesi reaches almost 10% of Indonesia’s total coconut production, and more than 95% is managed by farmers. The main problem in coconut development is that the management of coconut cultivation is still traditional, and the quality of the products produced is still low, so that coconut commodities that are multipurpose relatively have no added value. The economic value of coconut is still very dependent on primary products, namely coconut seeds and copra. To increase farmers‘income, the solution that can be taken is to implement the value chain in integrated coconut farming by diversifying coconut products. This is a review chapter that aims to present the implementation of value chain analysis approach and formulate the strategic development of integrated coconut farming system on a rural scale in the North Sulawesi province. Implementation of the value chain by diversifying coconut commodities can provide added value. By managing an integrated coconut farm that produces 3–5 processed products, the economic value of coconut will increase by about 5–6 times. Several issues become obstacles in the development of the value chain, including the lack of farmer participation in the modern chain, weak market power and market access, weak contractual relationship strength, and weak agricultural sector development orientation in the provision of employment.
Each body needs some foods to consume every day. But to produce food in all region face many factors as challenges. Challenges that farmers always face in the dryland region are limited water for supplying to crop, and the soil has low fertile and low input production into manage farming system. In addition, producing food crops on the COVID-19 Pandemic face new challenges like the availability of input production, distribution, and marketing of products. However, food production should be prepared to fulfil human needs. The research objectives are (1) to know farmers’ activity on the food crop farming system. (2) to know the way farmer’s availability input production, distribution, and marketing of product. And (3) to know the productivity of food crops on the COVID-19 Pandemic. This research used to survey and observation Method to the farming system that farmers do. This research shows that farmers always are doing their farming system of food crop despite happen climate change, especially have no rain for a long time and the COVID-19 Pandemic. For doing their farming intensively, farmers should get input production from distribution agents. And farmers’ success in selling their product in the local market. However, products that should be sold on the other island or products for the industry market often face challenges, especially transportation.
