Abstract

Technological improvement, particularly to prevent yield loss, will benefits shallot farmers. Technology packages related to crop protection have been introduced to shallot farmers in three shallot-producing areas namely Brebes, Tegal and Pemalang, Central Java. This study aimed to analyze the effect of technology package introduction on the performance of shallot farming. The analysis is carried out using a difference-in-difference approach which ensures the real impact of the technology. The fundamental analysis is economic threshold theory. A total of 160 samples consisting of 112 adopters and 48 non-adopters in this study were spread over three regions. A simple paired and independent t-tests were applied to the hypotheses. Agricultural performance indicators include productivity, costs of production and net income. The results showed that the performance of shallot farming increased significantly due to technological improvements. The technology packages have been able to increase productivity, reduce costs of production and enhance net income of shallot farming. This result is very important because the reduction of pesticides can improve environmental quality and health

Abstract

This paper analyses the implementation of a sustainable food reserve program that empowers the community by mitigating the adverse impacts of malnutrition in Indonesia. This paper adopted an actor- and institution-centered communication approach to analyze the stakeholders, directly and indirectly, engaged in implementing the program. East Java province was selected as the sample of the study. Results of the analysis show that the communications of actors and institutions played dominant roles in the program implementation. In the early implementation stage, the dominant roles of actor and institution communication were strongly required in a new program intervention to guarantee smooth implementation. Government officials played a significant communication role at the provincial level. At the grassroots level, the main actors were women leaders of household prosperity education and farmer leaders. Agricultural extension officials dominantly communicated between provincial and grassroots levels. Institutions must start reducing dominant roles and appointing local cadres to replace and reduce dependency on the institutions.
