Abstract

In the midst of agricultural infrastructure development projects that are massively promoted by the state, the portrait of farmers often stagnates, even declines in local economic networks. The aim of this research is to present the dynamics of the relationship between farmers and land in West Timor, East Nusa Tenggara. The method of this research is descriptive-qualitative through indepth interview and observation. By using an agrarian political economy perspective, this paper finds several things, i.e 1) the position of farmers is not completely dependent on agriculture. Their main occupation as farmers does not make them independent farmers in the agricultural sector. 2) Farmers carry out other activities, especially animal husbandry. This business actually generates income that is much greater than agricultural production in order to help them survive. 3) The disposition of smallholders seems very vulnerable to systemic impoverishment, meanwhile, farmers who own rice fields can still get capital accumulation from agricultural businesses. In the end, the struggle of the farmers in Timor was carried out in order to survive in the midst of economic difficulties due to the free market which then created the challenge of de-agrarianization.

Abstract

There are four fundamental goals for the people of East Nusa Tenggara in raising and developing cattle as a legacy from the Colonial. First, the cow is a sign of social status. The social status of the local community is not solely determined by how much money a family has, but more than that, social status is also determined by how many cows are kept in a large paddock. Secondly, the cow is an animal that supports the mating process. The cow is an animal that is a symbol of marriage for the people of NTT. Third, cows as animals that help the economy. Fourth, cattle are a commodity that is traded by local economic authorities who have extensive business networks. This descriptive qualitative research aims to examine the socio-economic networks among cattle farmers who come from the lower classes who also work as subsistence farmers, concerning cattle businessmen. As qualitative research, this study used three main methods to obtain field data. First, the in-depth interview was conducted with buyers, the local strong man Business Network, and the government of Kupang Regency. The second is the observation which was done in several villages in Kupang Regency and Camplong Market. Third, focus group discussion (FGD) was carried out on various related parties in the selling cycle involving local governments, businesses, cattle traders, and the community in general.
