“…Gambar 6 menunjukkan bahwa saluran pemasaran yang beragam menyebabkan usaha hortikultura bisa bertahan. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menyatakan aspek yang menjamin keberlanjutan usaha hortikultura adalah kepastian pasar dan harga yang memberikan keuntungan yang relatif stabil (Amao & Egbetokun, 2018;Andaregie et al, 2021). Oleh karena itu untuk meningkatkan daya tahan usaha hortikultura maka dibutuhkan kemampuan pengusaha untuk memperbanyak akses untuk menjual langsung kepada konsumen dalam berbagai bentuk baik produk segar maupun olahan (Reddy et al, 2019;Udaykumar et al, 2020).…”

Penelitian tentang daya tahan usaha hortikultura diperlukan karena semua jenis usaha mengalami banyak gangguan sehingga ada usaha yang tutup dan ada yang tetap bertahan karena memiliki daya tahan usaha yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis aset petani dan ekosistem kewirausahaan dalam membentuk daya tahan usaha hortikultura di era disrupsi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, kuisioner dan survey yang dilakukan pada bulan Agustus sampai September 2023 dengan melibatkan 50 responden yang berprofesi sebagai petani hortikultura dan telah menjalankan usaha minimal lima tahun. Lokasi penelitian ini adalah dataran tinggi Kabupaten Gowa yaitu Kecamatan Tombolopao. Hasil penelitian adalah usaha hortikultura yang memiliki daya tahan tinggi ditunjukkan oleh beberapa indikator yaitu usaha tersebut telah bertahan hidup minimal lima tahun dan memiliki kinerja usaha yang baik yaitu hasil yang diperoleh dari usaha tersebut mampu mensejahterakan pelaku usaha hortikultura. Daya tahan usaha hortikulutra tinggi karena petani memiliki aset dan didukung oleh ekosistem kewirausahaan. Aset petani yaitu aset sumberdaya manusia yang ditunjukkan oleh pendidikan mayoritas petani adalah sekolah menengah atas dan sarjana, aktif menambah pengetahuan melalui berbagai media, usaha didukung oleh tenaga kerja dari dalam internal keluarga; aset sosial yaitu keikutsertaan petani pada kelompok tani; aset alam berupa ketersediaan air dari alam; aset fisik berupa ketersediaan lahan dan tanaman hortikultura dan adanya penyewaan peralatan; aset finansial yang beragam yaitu keuntungan usaha, kredit dari perbankan, modal dari keluarga. Ekosistem kewirausahaan yang mendukung yaitu dukungan pemerintah dalam bentuk penyuluhan, alsintan, jalan tani, pupuk subsidi serta fasilitas publik lainnya. Budaya yang mendukung yaitu gotong royong dalam membangun dan merawat fasilitas umum dan budaya tolong menolong dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Adanya pasar yang beragam. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah usaha hortikultura memiliki daya tahan tinggi dalam menghadapi berbagai gangguan usaha karena petani memiliki beberapa aset dan didukung oleh ekosistem kewirausahaan.

“…The study carried out in northern and central part of Tanzania to investigate participation of farmers and traders in relation to gender in vegetable production and trading, found farmers reporting more balanced intra-household labour arrangements paired with less-balanced income and expenditure shares, while traders indicated less-balanced labour contributions which went hand in hand with more balanced shares of benefits [51]. The participation of farmers and traders in vegetables shows opportunities to farmers who benefit from trade by selling surplus produce and purchasing needed goods and services [52]. Benefits and challenges to market participation faced by vegetable farmers include lack of information about the markets and high transportation and transaction costs, among others, which do not allow traditional vegetable farmers to efficiently participate in markets [52].…”

African traditional vegetables if given interest can offer an important entry point which provides an important economic pillar upon which women's livelihood can be supported to improve welfare in rural areas.…”

The agricultural sector is challenged to fulfill the nutritional requirements of ever-increasing population. Rates of growth in crop productivity have declined, among many reasons is due to climate change and the decline of water and land resources. Dependence by 50% on few cereal crops like wheat, maize and rice for total food intake and calorie requirements has countersigned loss of biodiversity and decline in crop productivity. The genetic diversity of traditional crop varieties offers resilience to environmental risks, socioeconomic shocks, adaptation and mitigation to climate change which is crucial for crop production. Traditional African Vegetables (TAVs) are an integral constituent of the diets of many rural and urban communities. They are important sources of essential macro and micro-nutrients. In addition, they offer a source of livelihood when marketed, and also contribute to crop biodiversity. Tanzania needs to conserve the Traditional African vegetables and their genetic resources against stressful conditions and increased selection pressures which causes loss of genetic variation and a decrease in fitness by a process called genetic erosion. Conservation and use alleviate genetic drift and inbreeding depression, then, is critical to guarantee TAVs persistence in rural areas. This review explores agrobiodiversity of traditional African vegetables (TAV) from livelihood of Tanzanian rural communities’ perspectives and how the country has managed to conserve these species.

“…It was determined by different factors such as socio-economic, demographic and institutional factors. According to various literature demographic, socio-economic, and institutional factors influence market participation (Amao & Egbetokun, 2018;Giziew, 2013;Rabbi et al, 2017). For instance, younger, men, educated and lower family farmers tend to participate in vegetable markets (Giziew, 2013).…”

Vegetable production is mainly practiced by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia and it is their main source of income, employment opportunities and improving food security. Although farmers are producing more surplus vegetables, they are not much linked with markets and thus their opportunity to diversify their livelihoods from vegetable production is very much limited. Thus, this study was required to identify factors affecting market participation among smallholder vegetable farmers in southwest Ethiopia. To get the sample respondents two-stage sampling procedures were employed and finally, 240 vegetable producers were selected. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from primary and secondary sources. To achieve the stated objective probit model was used and its result indicates that age of household head, household family size, education level of household head, labour market, market information and distance from the market place were statistically influencing market participation among smallholder vegetable producers. To enable smallholder's participation in vegetable marketing government interventions is needed to strengthening institutional service, communication and infrastructure facilities. This study may be valuable input for smallholder farmers, policymakers and other stakeholders in revealing the gab in the performance of the current vegetable production system to realize the national development policy.
