The productivity of Arabica coffee in low-altitude areas in Aceh have been declined, caused by an increase in temperatures, and by pests and diseases attack. This study aims to develop adaptation strategies to climate change in Aceh trough understanding how coffee productivity correlates with the management practices across the altitude. To find out a correlation between farming practices variables and coffee productivity, Spearman's rank test was used. To assess whether farming practice explanatory variables affected by the altitudes, a non-parametric with the Kruskal-Wallis Test, with Tukey’s post-hoc test (P0.05) with Chi-square distance were used. The results showed that coffee productivity was positively and significantly correlated to pruning, weeding, application of fertilizer, and application of pest and disease control, but was not to coffee plant density, sustainability certification, land conservation, and age of the coffee plant. Adaptation strategies for farmers in higher altitudes are to maintain the coffee plant density as well as shade density at an optimum level, followed by increasing management practices such as pruning, weeding, application of fertilizer, and pest and diseases control; in lower altitudes, those are to increase shade density both with Leucaena and multipurpose plants such as avocado and citrus, as well as increasing management practices such as land conservation, pruning, weeding, application of fertilizer and pest and diseases control. In middle altitudes, those are to maintain and improve management practices applied
Nowadays, supply chain management is vital for palm oil plantations, along with the increases of competitive efforts and equal partnership position between suppliers and processors. The research aimed at mapping supply chain patterns of palm oil plantation, at analyzing performances of palm oil stakeholders, and at analyzing factors influencing performances of stakeholders in the province. The research was conducted using survey method by interviewing and focus group discussion. The results showed that (1) there were 3 supply chains flows from bunches of palm fruit to plants of palm fruit processing; (2) roles of stakeholders in supply chain management determining supply volumes, profits, and value added; and (3) factors influencing performances of stakeholders and competitive advantages were plantation productivity, cost allocation for invesment and operation, capacity of processing plants, and CPO rendemen rate.
In developing countries, farming businesses are dominated by small-scale farmers with limited resources. Such farmers are subjected to high risks, influencing the success rate of their agricultural endeavors. This study, conducted in Aceh Province, Indonesia, measured the risk tolerance among six groups of farmers with businesses based on the following seasonal commodities: paddy, corn, soy, chili, potato, and tomato. A total of 360 respondents were surveyed and 54 key respondents interviewed. A Likert scale was used to assess the risk tolerance levels of the farmers, and ordinal regression analysis to analyze the factors influencing risk tolerance. Paddy, chili, and potato farmers had a relatively high tolerance to farming risks, whereas corn and tomato farmers showed a moderate tolerance. Soy farmers were classified into the low risk tolerance category. Ordinal analysis indicated that the risk tolerance of farmers in each commodity group was influenced by specific factors. Overall, it was found that the farmers' attitudes to risk tolerance were significantly affected by the following factors: experience, education, farming income, capital, land status, and land size. An intervention strategy including improvements in the curriculum, actors, network, scope of clusters, and technology are among the strategies required to positively improve farmers' perceptions and increase their tolerance to farming risks.
Abstrak: Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini pembagian curahan jam kerja laki-laki dan perempuan dalam usaha tani bawang merah. Penilitian ini bertujuan mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan curahan waktu kerja laki-laki dan perempuan dalam kegiatan usahatani bawang merah. Mengetahui apa yang menyebabkan terjadi perbedaan curahan waktu kerja laki-laki dan perempuan dalam kegiatan usahatani bawang merah. Hasil penilitian ia Dari tiga tahapan usahatani bawang merah yang terdiri kegiatan pratanam, budidaya, penaganan hasil dan penjualan menunjukan terdapat perbedaan curahan waktu kerja laki-laki dan perempuan. Laki-laki lebih mencurahkan waktu pada kegiatan kegiatan persiapan lahan, persiapan bibit, penanaman, pemupukan, pengendalian OPT dan penjualan. Sedangkan perempuan lebih mencurahkan waktu pada kegiatan pengendalian gulma, pemanenan, pembersihan dan penjemuran. Perbedaan curahan waktu kerja laka-laki dan perempuan dilatarbelakangi dari bentuk beban kerja pada saat budidaya bawang merah. Laki-laki bekerja separuh waktu sedangkan perempuan masih harus menyelesaikan peran reproduktifnya.the dispasition of the gendre in the houshold of the onion farmerAbstract.. The problem in this research is the distribution of hours of work of men and women in onion farming. This research aims to find out whether there are differences in the flow of work time of men and women in onion farming activities. Know what causes differences in the outpouring of work time of men and women in onion farming activities. The results of his research Of the three stages of onion farming consisting of farming, cultivation, yield management and selling activities, there are differences in the outpouring of working time for men and women. Men devote more time to land preparation activities, seed preparation, planting, fertilizing, pest control and sales. While women devote more time to weed control activities, harvesting, cleaning and drying. The difference between male and female working time flow is based on the form of workload during onion cultivation. Men work part time while women still have to complete their reproductive role.
