Determinants of Millennial Farmers’ Decisions in Hydroponic Melon Cultivation: Evidence from Sragen Regency
One of the fruits that is in demand by consumers with a fairly high economic value is melon. Melon plants are native to Africa that have many vitamins and minerals that are useful for body health. Millennial farmers have recently been involved in the hydroponic melon business because it has a high selling value. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the hydroponic cultivation decisions of millennial farmers. The study was conducted in several sub-districts in Sragen Regency, including Gemolong, Plupuh and Masaran. The sampling method was carried out using the Snowball sampling method. This study utilized various data analyzes used for SEM-PLS analysis. This study examined factors influencing farmers’ decisions to cultivate hydroponic melons, focusing on technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects. Respondents were mostly young men with limited experience but high learning potential. Production outcomes varied widely, reflecting diverse capacities. Validity and reliability tests confirmed robust measurement. Effect size and path analysis revealed that decisions were dominantly shaped by technical (f² = 0.819, negative effect) and economic (f² = 0.391, positive effect) factors, while social and cultural aspects were minor. The study highlights technology complexity and economic constraints as key barriers, suggesting training, accessible facilities, and market support as priority strategies.

Price Stability and Productivity in West Java Potato Farming: Indofood Partnership vs. Traditional Sales
This study explores the comparative advantages of Indofood’s contract farming model over traditional potato marketing practices in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on price stability and sustainable production. West Java, the country’s leading potato-producing region, has recently faced declining yields and unstable prices that threaten farmer livelihoods. Indofood’s structured partnership addresses these issues by offering guaranteed pricing, input support, and continuous agronomic assistance. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions involving Indofood-affiliated and independent farmers in Garut and Pangalengan. The analysis considered production consistency, income security, crop quality, and farmer perceptions while accounting for external factors such as weather variability and market fluctuations. Findings reveal significant differences between partner and non-partner farmers. Partnership members reported higher yields, more secure prices, and greater income stability, supported by access to Atlantic seed potatoes, fertilizers, and training. These resources reduced pest damage, improved farm management, and minimized market risks. Focus group results showed high satisfaction and trust in Indofood’s contractual commitments, with many farmers benefiting from community development initiatives and eco-friendly practices. Nonetheless, some concerns remain regarding seed availability and buy-back scheduling. The study demonstrates that Indofood’s contract farming model strengthens farmer resilience, enhances productivity, and contributes to rural sustainability. By integrating fixed pricing with farmer capacity building and community support, the model offers a scalable template for agribusiness partnerships in emerging economies seeking to address similar agricultural challenges.

Response of Peking Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) to Dolomite and Granular Guano Application on Recovered Lowland Ultisol by Goat Manure
Shallots are essential for Indonesia's economy and food security. In West Sumatra, cultivating shallots in the highlands is more challenging than in the lowlands. Lowland areas have poor Ultisol soil, but its chemical properties can improve with cultivation. Using organic materials, such as goat manure and granular guano with dolomite, is one solution to this problem. Unfortunately, shallot farmers often apply excessive amounts of dolomite. The ideal dosage of guano and dolomite as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium sources must be determined for optimal shallot growth. Using goat manure may reduce the need for other inputs like dolomite. Guano and dolomite combination treatments have never been used on Peking shallot varieties grown on Ultisol soil. This study evaluated the growth and yield responses of Peking variety shallots to dolomite and guano applications on Ultisol soil improved with goat manure as a base fertilizer. The experimental design was two-factorial, completely randomized, with three replications. The first factor was the dolomite dose, with three levels: 0, 2, and 4 tons/ha. The second factor was the dose of granulated guano, with four levels: 0, 100, 200, and 300 kg/ha. All experimental units received goat manure-based fertilizer at a dose of 10 tons/ha. Data were analyzed with ANOVA at 5% confidence, then with Duncan's Multiple Range Test if the treatment had a significant effect. The results showed that applying dolomite and granulated guano did not significantly affect the growth parameters or yield of Peking variety shallots.

Analysis of The Supply Chain Performance of Sugar Palm Fruit in Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java
During Ramadan, demand for palm fruit (kolang kaling) increases by approximately 60%. However, fulfillment of this demand is constrained by the limited availability of palm trees, weak coordination among supply chain actors, and delivery delays. This study aims to describe the overall condition of the palm fruit supply chain and evaluate its performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing qualitative analysis through the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) framework to map the supply chain, and quantitative analysis using the SCOR model to assess performance. Sampling was conducted through purposive sampling, targeting farmers and processors with consistent production, complemented by snowball sampling to reach actors not easily identified through formal data. The findings indicate that the target market for palm fruit extends beyond local consumption to regional markets. The supply chain structure consists of interdependent collaboration among farmers, artisans, intermediaries, wholesalers, and retailers, and is characterized by three principal flows: product, information, and finance. Constraints are evident in the limited availability of technological and equipment resources. Business processes employ push and pull strategies, depending on demand fluctuations. Performance evaluation reveals weaknesses in several indicators, particularly order fulfillment, compliance with quality standards, asset management, and supply chain cost efficiency. These limitations highlight the urgency of establishing an association of palm fruit supply chain actors to strengthen communication and coordination, thereby supporting the development, sustainability, and competitiveness of palm fruit farming.

Sustainable Livelihood Strategies for Women Agripreneur Resilience In East Java
Women agripreneurs in East Java are critical in supporting household income and contributing to local economic development, especially in rural and vulnerable areas. However, they often face challenges, including limited resource access, fluctuating markets, and external shocks. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainable livelihood strategies to enhance the resilience of women agripreneurs and examine the mediating role of innovation capability in strengthening resilience amidst digital socio-economic challenges. Using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF), this research explores five key pentagonal assets: human, social, natural, physical, and economic capital. A quantitative method was applied through a survey of 70 women agripreneurs across several regions in East Java. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and VUCA to develop business resilience strategies. The results showed that all five capital assets significantly influence agripreneurial resilience, with social and economic capital playing the most dominant roles. This finding underscores the importance of integrated, asset-based strategies to strengthen women’s adaptive capacity and business sustainability. Meanwhile, Innovative capability does not mediate the sustainable livelihood and resilience strategy. Based on VUCA, the study recommends targeted policies and support programs that enhance women's access to resources, networks, and entrepreneurial skills to build more resilient and inclusive local economies.

Response of Local Garlic on Solid and Liquid Vermicompost and The Impact to Financial Yield
Converting solid Vermicompost into liquid form is an alternative for garlic cultivation in the Dibawah Lake Solok region, and the cost is cheaper. A preliminary study evaluated the impact of applying solid Vermicompost (0, 5, 10, and 15 t/ha) on garlic growth and yield. A subsequent study examined the effect of applying solid Vermicompost in liquid form using a chitosan solution and identified effective NPK fertilizer doses to optimize local garlic growth and yield. The experimental design was a randomized factorial with NPK doses of 0, 100, and 200 kg/ha and Vermicompost concentrations of 0, 30, 60, or 90 g/L chitosan solution. The preliminary study demonstrated that applying 10 to 15 tons per hectare of solid Vermicompost combined with 100 kilograms per hectare of NPK fertilizer significantly increased garlic yield compared to no solid Vermicompost application. A subsequent study found that varying NPK doses from 0 to 200 kilograms per hectare and Vermicompost from 0 to 90 grams produced similar effects on local garlic growth and yield. However, yields remained lower than those achieved with 15 tons per hectare of solid Vermicompost. In contrast, substituting solid with liquid Vermicompost at all tested concentrations resulted in higher profitability than the 15 tons per hectare solid Vermicompost treatment, particularly for 100 NPK and 60 grams of Vermicompost in chitosan solution. That treatment was more cost-effective for farmers because it increased income by 63% and was more environmentally friendly than the solid form application in the Dibawah Lake Solok region.

This increases the productivity of consumer goods which will increase tax revenues. The problems that occur are 1) Is there a significant influence simultaneously and partially between population growth, the amount of public consumption and tax revenues by the state on Indonesia's economic growth? 2) How is the intervening relationship between population growth, the amount of public consumption and tax revenues by the state on Indonesia's economic growth. Research with quantitative methods using Linear Regression analysis and Path Analysis will analyze secondary data from 1991-2023 produced by Bank Indonesia and the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency. The results of the study are: 1) Population growth, consumption and tax revenues have a significant simultaneous effect on the Indonesian economy. 2) Consumption and tax revenues have a significant partial effect on the Indonesian economy. 3) Population growth and consumption have a significant partial effect on tax revenues. 4) Population growth has a significant partial effect on consumption. 5) Population growth is related to the Indonesian economy with consumption intervening. 6) Population growth is related to the Indonesian economy with tax revenue intervening. 7) Consumption is related to the Indonesian economy with tax revenue intervening
Optimizing Slaughterhouse Waste as Liquid Organic Fertilizer: An Organic Solution to Enhance Cayenne Pepper Production
Cattle rumen waste from slaughterhouses holds economic, social, and ecological value when processed into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). The application of this LOF has the potential to improve soil fertility, thereby enhancing plant growth and productivity. A collaborative study between the Agrotechnology Study Program of Universitas Kadiri and the Slaughterhouse Technical Unit (UPTD RPH) of Kediri City was conducted to evaluate the effect of LOF derived from cattle rumen waste on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.). The research was carried out from October 2022 to January 2023 in the greenhouse of the Geophysics Station (BMKG) located in Sawahan Village, Sawahan Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor: LOF dosage, consisting of six treatment levels: D0 (control), D1 (100 ml/plant), D2 (200 ml/plant), D3 (300 ml/plant), D4 (400 ml/plant), and D5 (500 ml/plant) with four replications. Each experimental unit comprised two plants. Observed parameters included plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of branches, and fruit number and weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that the 500 ml/plant dosage had a highly significant effect on plant height and stem diameter, and a significant effect on the number of branches, but no effect on leaf number. Notably, increasing LOF dosage significantly improved fruit number and weight by 27% at 90 days after transplanting (DAT).
Optimizing Seedling Media for Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) Cultivation
This study evaluates the growth performance and cost-effectiveness of six different seedling media for tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) cultivation: sand (M1), rice husk charcoal (M2), clay (M3), organic fertilizer (M4), clay-organic fertilizer (M5), and sand-organic fertilizer (M6). The experiment assessed plant height, number of leaves, and number of branches from 7 to 35 days after sowing (DAS). Results showed that media containing organic fertilizer (M4, M5, M6) significantly enhanced all growth parameters compared to non-organic treatments. Among these, M5 (clay-organic fertilizer) achieved the highest values for plant height (34.9 cm), number of leaves (15.5), and number of branches (5.5) at 35 DAS, indicating superior performance. However, cost analysis revealed that M5 also incurred the highest production cost. In contrast, M6 (sand-organic fertilizer) offered a more cost-effective option by providing strong growth performance at a lower cost. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating organic fertilizers into seedling media to improve early growth stages of tomato plants. The use of organic blends, particularly M6, presents a practical and sustainable solution for smallholder farmers aiming to maximize seedling vigor without incurring high input costs, ultimately supporting more efficient and eco-friendly agricultural practices.
Mapping Agricultural Research on Peatlands: A Bibliometric Analysis of Trends and Gaps (2004–2024)
Peatlands in Indonesia play a crucial role in global carbon storage and agricultural productivity. However, their use for agriculture has raised environmental concerns, particularly regarding land degradation, carbon emissions, and fire risks. This study employs a bibliometric approach using Publish or Perish (PoP) and VOSviewer to analyze research trends, dominant topics, and gaps in Indonesian peatland agriculture from 2004 to 2024. Three thousand nine hundred fifty (3,950) publications from Google Scholar were examined to identify thematic clusters and shifts in research focus. The results indicate a significant increase in research on peatland agriculture over the past two decades, with a primary focus on land management, environmental impact, and agricultural commodity adaptation. Oil palm remains the dominant research topic, while studies on alternative crops, horticulture, and sustainable peatland management strategies remain underexplored. Although fire mitigation has gained attention, long-term sustainability approaches and policy-driven land management strategies require further investigation. This study underscores the need for a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to ensure sustainable peatland agriculture. Future research should prioritize the diversification of peat-adaptive crops, precision agriculture technologies, and ecosystem-based restoration methods. Additionally, policymakers must integrate research findings into comprehensive land-use planning to balance agricultural productivity with environmental conservation. Strengthening regulations, incentivizing sustainable practices, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration will be essential for addressing the challenges of peatland agriculture and ensuring its long-term viability.
Horticultural Supply Chain Models: Strategies, Challenges, and Marketing Approaches.
Indonesia's horticulture sector has undergone rapid expansion, driven by rising demand from both domestic and international markets. However, small-scale farmers continue to struggle with limited market access, price volatility, and high production costs, affecting their profitability and long-term sustainability. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review of 135 scientific articles to analyze three dominant supply chain models: direct marketing, contract farming, and cooperatives. Direct marketing allows farmers to secure higher prices by bypassing intermediaries but poses challenges in terms of operational scale, financial resources, and market access. Contract farming provides stability through guaranteed pricing, input support, and technical assistance, though profit distribution often favors contracting firms. Meanwhile, cooperatives offer better market access and collective bargaining power but require strong organizational structures to function effectively. The findings emphasize the importance of policies that support farmer education, improve market infrastructure, and encourage fair contractual agreements. Additionally, agribusiness stakeholders must invest in supply chain innovations and risk mitigation strategies to enhance efficiency and transparency. Strengthening these aspects is crucial for fostering a more resilient and sustainable horticultural sector in Indonesia
Multidimensional Poverty Among Rice Farming Workers’ Households in Bengkulu City
Poverty among rice farming workers is a multidimensional issue that extends beyond income levels, encompassing education, health, and living standards. Traditional poverty assessments based solely on income fail to capture these broader deprivations. To provide a more comprehensive analysis, this study employs the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which considers multiple well-being indicators. The study aims to analyze the multidimensional poverty status of rice farming worker households in Bengkulu City and identify the key factors influencing their poverty status. A sample of 100 rice farming workers was selected using the Mo formula to ensure representativeness. The findings reveal that 19% of rice farming worker households fall within the multidimensional poverty category, while 81% are non-poor. Among the examined factors, work experience significantly influences poverty levels, with more excellent experience contributing to a lower likelihood of poverty. The use of MPI provides a more holistic understanding of poverty, highlighting the need for policies that address not only income disparities but also access to education, healthcare, and improved living conditions. Enhancing skill development and creating stable employment opportunities are crucial for alleviating multidimensional poverty among rice farming workers in Bengkulu City.
Factors Influencing Farmer’s Decisions to Switch Apple to Orange Farming in Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji Sub-district, Batu City
The agricultural sector is a strategic sector and has an important role in national economic development and community survival. Each region certainly has different natural resource potential. Batu City is one of the apple-producing areas in East Java Province. Over time, there was a decline in apple productivity, which caused farmers to decide to transfer the commodity. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of switching farms, identify influencing factors, and analyze the effect of commodity transfer on farmers' income. The determination of the location of the study was carried out by simple random sampling. The sampling method used the Slovin formula, and the sample used in this study was 60 farmers. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between one or more independent variables with categorical dependent variables, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is a method of non-parametric statistic that aims to determine whether or not there is a difference between 2 pairs of data on an ordinal or interval scale. The results showed that the impetus that made farmers switch commodities to oranges were: (1) climate, changes in market prices, changes in consumer tastes, decreased crop yields, decreased apple quality, pests and diseases of apple plants. (2) Factors that directly influence farmers' decision-making in transferring commodities are age, education, number of family dependents, farming experience, citrus farm income, and care/maintenance. (3) There is a significant difference between the income of farmers who farm apples and farmers who farm oranges. The average income of apple farmers is IDR 13,158,332/Year, while orange farmers have an average income of IDR 14,703,333/Year.

Pie Ngalam Heritage is a manufacturer specializing in producing pie cakes designed as keepsakes from Malang. Pie Ngalam products possess distinct qualities that help them sustain a competitive advantage in the market. This study aims to evaluate the influence of taste, packaging, and price on consumer purchasing decisions regarding Pie Ngalam Heritage products in Malang. The study comprised a cohort of 50 consumers engaged in numerous transactions and analyzed the data. We analyzed data using structural equation modeling (SEM) and the SEM WarpPLS technique. In particular, we employed the hierarchical component model (HCM) or second-order method. Evaluated the strength and reliability of the relationship between hidden variables and their indicators. The findings revealed that flavor positively and significantly impacted purchasing decisions, with a t value of 2.234, which exceeds the critical value of 2.010. While packaging also had a positive effect, its impact was not statistically significant, as shown by a low t-value of 1.444, below the critical value of 1.677. Conversely, price had a substantial and positive effect on purchasing decisions for Pie Ngalam Heritage products, with a strong statistical significance indicated by a t value of 4.838, well above the critical value of 2.406. To boost sales at Pie Ngalam Heritage, businesses should focus more on affordable pricing and superior taste rather than making significant investments in packaging.
Level of Household Food Composition Variety: A Case Study in East Java with Shannon Index
Food diversification is one of the efforts to ensure and maintain a balanced availability of food for each staircase. High dependence on rice causes the level of food diversification in East Java to be low. This study aims to take into account the level of household food diversification in East Java. How food diversification is assessed using the Shannon-Wiener Index, with secondary data from BPS East Java in 2022 covering 14 food groups such as rice, tubers, fish, vegetables, and fruits. The results of the study show that the level of food diversification in East Java is in the medium category, with a diversification index of 2.3. Food groups such as fishery products (21%) and processed foods/beverages (19%) dominate public consumption, while oil and coconut (2%) and other consumption (2%) are still relatively low. Geographical, cultural, and urbanization factors influence the dynamics of consumption patterns. However, uneven distribution is one of the obstacles to increasing food diversification, especially for local agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits. The main solutions proposed to increase food diversification include the socialization of diverse food consumption and the empowerment of local food-based MSMEs. These measures are expected to increase food variety and strengthen food security in East Java. In addition, other solutions that can be considered include the development of local flour-based food products, public education about the benefits of local food, the development of agricultural technology, infrastructure improvement, and the use of home yards to grow various types of food crops.
Operational Risk Management Analysis Using Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) at PT Petrokimia Gresik
This research aims to overcome operational risks that may occur using the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) approach. The approach used to implement Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in this study is SNI ISO 31000: 2018. The process of designing risk management goes through the stages of risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, and risk treatment; the method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with quantitative additions. That means descriptive qualitative methods are used for each stage of completion except the risk level assessment stage. This analysis was carried out at PT Petrokimia Gresik, precisely in the Production Department III A part ZA II. The problem in this study is that several risks can hinder the ZA fertilizer production process. The results of the analysis that have been carried out are 10 operational risks, namely Communication mistakes by the employees, Work accidents, Performance / low-productivities by the employees, Mistakes in operating production tools, Unsuitable product quality with the requested specification quality, ZA fertilizer that is not on target, Flawed storage of ZA fertilizer, Low availability of raw materials, Production reports failure and Production tools disturbance. Of the 10 risks identified, there are 8 risks at a low level (low), 2 risks at a medium level (medium) and 1 risk at a high level (high). Efforts to treat risks in the low (low) and medium (medium) level categories are to accept or restrain the risk from increasing and provide additional treatment. Meanwhile, for high-level risks, preventive and mitigation strategies are carried out to reduce the possibility and impact of these risks by doing some area maintenance to renovate the savings storage. Also, clumping fertilizer will be consulted in the quality control section.

The Yield of Red Podded Yardlong Bean Genotypes (Vigna unguiculata L.) under Shading
Yardlong bean is a plant with high nutritional value, but it is not considered a main crop. Land extensification with agroforestry is needed to overcome land limitations and maximize yardlong bean production. The research aims to produce yardlong bean varieties that adapt to shading conditions in agroforestry systems. The research was conducted from October 2023 to February 2024. The research design used a Split Plot based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The main plot was shading with two levels, no shading (N0), and 50% paranet shading (N1). The subplots were parental FG genotypes of the F8 generation, namely FS 7-1-8, FS 10-1-8, FS 10-3-8, FS 14-2-8, and FS 8-2-8. Observation parameters included the time of 50% flowering, fresh harvest age, leaf stomata count, leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid content, number of fresh pods per plant, fresh pod weight per plant, and productivity. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level and Tukey’s HSD test at 5%. The results showed that the genotype factor significantly affected the time of 50% flowering. Shading treatment significantly affected the number of leaf stomata. Shading and yardlong bean genotypes did not significantly differ in leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid content, fresh harvest age, the number of fresh pods per plant, fresh pod weight per plant, and productivity. The F8 generation yardlong bean plants showed tolerance to shading as they could maintain growth and yield. The FS 10-1-8 genotype has the fastest flowering speed compared to the FG parent.

Water Quality Study to Improve Technology and Sustainability of Farmer’s Pond in Banjarpanji Village Sidoarjo
The technology used in pond processing in Banjar Panji village is still traditional, with minimal labor involvement. This extensive or traditional pond does not utilize windmills, and the feed is natural. The purpose of the study was to study the physicochemical parameters of water quality in fish farming based on the Ministerial Regulation of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 75/Permen-KP/2016. The study was conducted in Banjarpanji Village, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java. The study began from January to February 2024. Meanwhile, water sample analysis activities were conducted at the Land Resources Laboratory I and II, Faculty of Agriculture, National Development University "Veteran" East Java. Data collection used a survey method by conducting reviews and direct observations at the research location. The station sample points were determined by purposive sampling based on the distribution of grid divisions. The results showed that most water quality parameters, such as temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, were outside the ideal limits for optimal cultivation. The salinity at all points of the pond was very low, for example, indicating a mismatch with the ideal needs for milkfish cultivation, which requires a specific salinity range for optimal growth. In addition, inadequate dissolved oxygen levels can inhibit the respiration of aquatic organisms and result in dangerous anoxic conditions.
