The introduction stage was carried out in a farmer group meeting, and the UGM Faculty of Agriculture Research Team acts as the innovator. It is followed by the persuasion stage, which explains the benefits of implementing corporate farming during subsequent farmer group meetings. The decision stage is indicated by providing direction, assistance, and financial support, which relied on group agreement to commit corporate farming. The farmer groups’ heads dominated the persuasion stage, the decision stage, and the implementation stage. The differences between corporate farming and individual farming lie in some aspects, such as working together rather than individual work, semi-organic cultivation systems, and optimizing the use of agricultural machinery. At the confirmation stage, 62% of informants disagree to continue corporate farming due to significant drops in production yields. The change in the cultivation system from chemical to semi-organic is one reason for the decline in production.Keywords: corporate farming, ego-centered network, decision-making process, social network analysi
The Impact of Climatic Factors on Rice Production in Indonesia
Full text linkRice production is greatly affected by climatic factors which keep changing along with time. Therefore, the effects of climate change on rice production in Indonesia need to be studied. The objectives of this study are to determine: (1) the difference of interregional climate in each region and (2) the impact of climatic factors on rice production in Indonesia. Just and Pope Production function was used as the analytical frameworks, and Cobb-Douglas function form was used to analyze the data. The analysis was conducted with regards to rice production in ten provinces in Indonesia from 1985 to 2017. The result shows that there were some differences in climatic condition in each region in Indonesia. The regression analysis shows that maximum temperature and minimum temperature have positive impacts on rice production, on the other hand, El Nino and La Nina affect the production negatively. The results of this study can be considered by the policy makers in making decisions related to adaptation and mitigation on climate change encounter
Technical Efficiency of State-Owned Sugarcane Production in East Java
Full text linkThis study aims to (1) identify the factors that influence the production of plant cane and ratoon cane, (2) determine the level of production efficiency of plant cane, ratoon cane, and poll, and (3) identify the factors that influence the inefficiency of plant cane and ratoon cane production. The data used was secondary data sourced from the production data for the 2017-2018 planting season with some inputs: land area, fertilizers, herbicides, labor, age of plants harvested and data of land types. From the analysis, it was revealed that (1) factors influencing the increase of plant cane production were land area, ZA fertilizer, harvest labor, and types of fields. Meanwhile, the influential factors impacting the increase of ratoon cane were land area, SP36 fertilizer, ametryn herbicide, harvest labor, type of fields, and HGU land type while estate labor, mechanization, and dummy varieties affect decreasing on it, (2) sugarcane farming was technically efficient (3) factors affecting the inefficiency for plant cane are formal education and rank levels of plant officer. However the coefficient of the formal education variable was negative and the rank level coefficient was positive. A higher level of education will increase production, but a higher rank level of plant officer will decrease it. Improving education levels can be provided by giving mentoring or the provision of courses. In ratoon cane, there was no effect of technical inefficiency. So an increase in ratoon cane production can be done by increasing the use of production inputs

The Impact of Government Policies on The Competitiveness of Clove Commodity in Tolitoli Regency: Multi Period PAM Approach
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the competitiveness of clove commodities in Tolitoli Regency in terms of competitive and comparative advantages and to determine the impact of government policies on the sustainability of clove farming in Tolitoli Regency. The method of determining respondents using a simple random sampling method and obtained as many as 87 samples of clove farmers. The data analysis method used is the Multi-Period PAM (Policy Analysis Matrix). The results of this study indicate that the clove commodity in Tolitoli Regency has competitiveness in terms of competitive and comparative advantages with a PCR value of 0.415 and DRCR 0.412. The impact of government policies on the output of clove farming in Tolitoli is protective against farming systems with an NPCO value of 1.088, but tends to be weak. While on the other hand, the impact of government policies on clove farming inputs is unprotective with an NPCI value of 1.061, meaning that farmers have not received positive incentives from the current input subsidy policy. The impact of government policies on input-output as a whole is protective and provides positive incentives to farmers, but the value of the coefficient shows the level of protection that is still relatively weak and very vulnerable if there is a change in policy. The regional government is expected to provide protection to clove farmers in the form of setting the cost of clove purchases and also to exercise strict supervision of cartel practices in the clove trade system

Impact of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Certification on The Indonesian CPO Exports to The Destination Countries
Full text linkPalm oil is one of the plantation commodities that has an important role in economic contribution in Indonesia because of its ability to produce vegetable oil which is essential for industrial sector. The potential development of Indonesia's palm oil exports is high considering the benefits derived from these products. Therefore, there is a need to ensure that CPO products have a sustainable nature, one of which is that CPO products must be RSPO certified. This study analyzes how the influence of various factors that can affect Indonesia's CPO exports, one of which is RSPO certification using panel regression with the basic gravity model. The data which is used in this research is panel data in the form of time series for 20 years with cross sections from five major importing during 1999-2018. The analysis shows that the exchange rate and the RSPO significantly and positively affect Indonesia's CPO exports, while the population of the importing country has a significant and negative effect. This confirms that the presence of RSPO certified products will increase Indonesian CPO exports to major importing countries. Although the RSPO has an effect on Indonesia's CPO exports, there are still a number of indicators from it, in which, Indonesia has not been able to fulfill. That indicator can be used as a material for consideration to be adopted in national certifications such as ISPO so that Indonesian CPO products can be perceived to be sustainable so that they can reach wider export markets
