Farming performance and evaluation of the adoption of robusta coffee cultivation based on geographical indication in candiroto district temanggung regency

Abstract The Geographical Indication Protection Society (MPIG) aims to maintain the uniqueness of coffee commodities in Temanggung Regency by implementing predetermined standardization. The purpose of this study is to analyze the farm performance of Robusta coffee based on geographical indication and evaluate the level of farmer adoption. The research was conducted using a case study method on coffee farmers who are members of MPIG in Candiroto district and an R/C ratio analysis to illustrate how high the benefits received by farmers are in terms of acceptance if they apply geographical indication SOP. The results show that the R/C ratio of farmers who apply geographical indication SOP obtained a value of 2.50. The level of farmer adoption of geographical indication SOP in the cultivation and harvesting stages is considered high, while in the post-harvest stage, only the dry processing process has a high adoption rate. Suggestions that can be given from this research are that MPIG, as an organization that introduces geographical indication SOP, should be more persuasive in providing education to farmers about the benefits they receive if they apply geographical indication SOP. SOPs that are not relevant for farmers should be adjusted so that the level of farmer participation and adoption becomes high.

Identifying and Understanding Factors Influencing the Knowledge Level of Farmers in Watershed Development Programme Using Principal Components Analysis

Watershed Development Programmme is based on bottom-up planning and a participatory approach. It will be easier to implement the programme successfully and get the desired results if we have a good comprehension of the guidelines. On many different developmental programmes implementation its components including institutional arrangement, community organisation, objectives, programme creation and implementation, funding pattern, monitoring and evaluation, significant gaps were observed. These socio -economic factors provide essential information to support efforts and policies aimed at improving adoption by recognizing heterogeneities in the targeted populations. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique for reducing the dimensionality of datasets, increasing interpretability but at the same time minimizing information loss. The present study was conducted with a sample size of 192 progressive farmers and watershed user groups in Nuapada and Kalahandi district of Odisha state, aiming to identify the major socio economic factors governing farmers’ knowledge and adoption level of different watershed activities. Three different principal components (PCs) could finally be extracted out of twelve relatively important variables governing knowledge and participation level of farmers in different watershed activities. These three factors were resource richness, which was associated with higher farm revenue, cosmopoliteness, which was associated with extended contact and motivation, and family type, which was associated with manpower and farming as a primary employment. Firstly, data reduction was conducted through principal component analysis to identify three important components accounting for 58.66% of the total variability in the data. It is evident from the results that socioeconomic factors such as Land holding, Annual Income, Type of house, Cosmo politeness and extension contact, Education, more use communication materials, Social participation and age of the farmer, can be associated with higher knowledge and adoption of watershed activities and practices. From the findings of the study, it was concluded that three principal components like ‘resource richness’, ‘education and extension contact’ and ‘farm family occupation” were found to have exerted significantly high influence and contributed 23.44%, 20.12% and 15.1% variance respectively in determining the extent of farmers’ knowledge level about watershed activities . These factors can be used as essential input to predict models or as benchmarks for developing scales or indices for measuring farmers’ progressiveness and knowledge and adoption of watershed activities.

Participation of beef cattle farmers and the effect on production

Increasing food production can be done through increasing productivity and increasing business scale, both of them need an additional cost. Meanwhile, capital for small-scale farmers is relatively limited, so financial support is needed. At present, the Government financing support in the form of loans program is the People’s Business Credit (KUR).

Beef cattle farmers in the study locations used KUR funds for on-farm farming. Most of the farmers (84.4%) used the funds to purchase brood stock. The KUR program has an impact on increasing the productivity of cattle for fattening 0.2 kg live weight/head/day, increasing the scale of cattle breeding, and fattening two cows and eight cows respectively per farmer. The impact of KUR on enhancing production due to increased productivity and business scale is significantly determined by the level of farmer participation in the use of KUR. It is needed to increase farmer participation in the use of KUR and the use of KUR funds to adopt recommended technology. So that, KUR has impact on increasing livestock production.
