Implementasi Kebijakan untuk Mengoptimalkan Peran Penyuluh Pertanian Swasta di Indonesia

Abstract

Role of private agricultural extension agents began emerging in the 1980s when the government reduced the budget for extension program. In Indonesia, existence of private extension agents is officially depicted in the Act No. 16 of 2006 that applies participatory paradigm in which private agents are expected to meet the demand for extension workers. However, until now or almost ten years since this regulation was issued the mobilization of private extension agents has not been executed yet. This paper aims to review various ideas and research results in some countries where private extension has been practiced. Existing conditions and some limitations of the government, as well as commercialization pressure of agricultural products coupled with the growing communication systems, lead to the presence of private extension as a necessity. However, to optimize the role of private extension agents the government needs to implement the previous existing policies to develop an effective extension system.
