ABSTRACT |
Agriculture, Farmer Groups, Capacity Assessment, Agricultural
Empowerment, Farmer Group Dynamics. |
|
Agriculture plays an important role in the Indonesian economy,
especially in rural areas which are dominated by farmers whose income is from
agricultural products. Increasing farmer welfare is the key to agricultural
development. This can be achieved through increasing agricultural
productivity, access to efficient markets, and developing human resources and
farmer institutions. Farmer groups are a key element in agricultural
development, enabling the exchange of information, training and collaboration
between farmers. Farmer Group capability class assessment is an important
tool in understanding the dynamics and development of this group. In Sawahlunto City, the majority of Farmer Groups are still
in the beginner and advanced classes, with only a few reaching the
intermediate class. Many factors influence the ability of Farmer Groups,
including changes in conditions in the field, structural changes, and the
formation of groups just to get government assistance. Therefore, assessing
the ability class of Farmer Groups must be the basis for coaching and
empowering this group, so that it can play a more effective role in
agricultural development. |

INTRODUCTION
Indonesia
has a social structure characterized by
rural communities with an agricultural pattern. Most
of their income comes from agricultural products such as food crops,
plantations, livestock, fisheries and forestry. The main key to increasing
farmer welfare is increasing farmer income. Increasing income can be achieved
through increasing farming productivity and planting intensity accompanied by
increasing farmers' access to efficient input and output markets (Zakaria, 2009).
The agricultural sector
has a very strategic role in national economic development, especially as a
food provider for the Indonesian people. Agriculture also makes a real
contribution in providing industrial raw materials, bio-energy, absorbing labor
which will have an impact on reducing poverty levels and maintaining environmental
preservation.
With agricultural
development, the welfare of the people (farmers) will be realized. Development
is a multidimensional process that involves major changes in social structures,
mental attitudes and national institutions, including accelerated economic
growth, equal distribution of income, and reduction of unemployment and
eradication of absolute poverty by paying attention to environmental
sustainability (Zakaria,
2009).
Agricultural development
which aims for the welfare of farmers, is supported by one of the current
strategic agricultural development programs, namely the development of
Agricultural Human Resources and Farmer Institutions. In realizing agricultural
development goals, key actors and business actors are needed who are qualified,
reliable, have managerial skills, have an entrepreneurial spirit and business
organization. In this way, they are expected to be able to build competitive
and sustainable farming businesses so that they can improve their bargaining
position. One of the main actors in agricultural development is farmers, who
are expected to have adequate knowledge and skills in managing agricultural
businesses so that they can overcome problems not only in increasing
production, but also in increasing income and developing agricultural
businesses. Therefore, farmers' capacity and abilities must continue to be
improved, one of which is through agricultural extension using a group approach
(Mardikanto,
2007).
Humans cannot be separated
from group life (small/large). The development process uses groups as a medium
to achieve development goals. In rural areas, groups such as community groups,
farmer groups, youth groups, women's groups, business groups and so on are
developing (Hariadi,
2011).
The acceleration of group development varies, with unique patterns depending on
the task, composition (structure), individual characteristics of members,
climate, behavioral patterns and leadership style in each group. Many experts
have stated the role of groups in development, but how to get groups that are
capable of acting as a forum for farmers and also as a medium for distributing
information and other services. How to get a dynamic group so that it makes it
easier for service, extension and regulatory institutions to reach farmers.
Much emphasis is placed on
the process of agricultural development in Indonesia through efforts to empower
human resources, this effort is carried out through agricultural extension
activities which are carried out, among other things, through a group approach.
Therefore, agricultural extension workers form and develop Farmer Groups as a
forum for learning and various activities in the agricultural sector (Hariadi,
2011).
Farming business
development through Farmer Groups is nothing more than an effort to accelerate
targets. There are many farmers in large numbers and spread across vast
villages, so that in group development it is hoped that the horizon and insight
of togetherness will emerge to solve and change the image of the current
farming business into a bright and strong future farming business. The aim of
forming the Farmer's Group is to further improve and develop the capabilities
of farmers and their families as subjects of agricultural development through a
group approach to play a greater role in development.
Farmer groups are groups
of farmers that grow based on closeness and harmony, as well as shared
interests in utilizing agricultural resources to work together to achieve the
welfare of their members. Farmer groups will not function as expected if there
is a lack of guidance and teaching and learning class training from
agricultural, plantation and BPP extension officers. Therefore, to find out
whether a Farmer Group is dynamic or not, it can be assessed or measured from
the dynamic elements of the Farmer Group first. Elements of Farmer Group
dynamics that can be measured include (a) group goals, (b) group structure, (c)
task function, (d) group development, (e) group cohesiveness, (f) group atmosphere,
(g) pressure in the group and (h) group effectiveness.
Farmer groups can grow and
develop among farmers because basically the Indonesian people, including Sawahlunto City, West Sumatra Province, are known as people
who like to cooperate, help each other, work together and have high concern for
each other. In reality, not all farmer groups develop according to
expectations, in fact quite a few farmer groups have disbanded or remain in
name only. If a farmer group's ability class is used, there are quite a few
farmer groups that have been formed for a long time but are still in the
Beginner and Advanced classes. This is certainly concerning and also a
challenge for parties involved in agricultural development.
Weak institutional
development is one of the characteristics of village communities. The
government is trying to form institutions in villages whose members include the
community itself, such as Farmer Groups. The development of Farmer Groups
(Farmer Groups) is directed at (a) strengthening Farmer Groups to become strong
and independent farmer institutions; (b) increasing the ability of members in
developing agribusiness and (c) increasing the ability of Farmer Groups in
carrying out their functions (Bali Province Agricultural Technology Assessment Agency,
2016). Almost all/most farming communities have Farmer Groups, but in reality
not all Farmer Groups have succeeded in developing well.
Meanwhile, the condition
of Farmer Groups from year to year can be said to have not experienced
development as expected or can be said to be constant (even tending to
decline). Most of the Farmer Group classes do not correspond to the actual
situation, such as the Farmer Group's high ability class status (for example
Intermediate or Primary), but their activities when measured by assessment
scores are still low in dynamics. Even now, some Farmer Groups have disbanded,
but are still registered in the Agricultural Extension Management Information
System (SIMLUHTAN). This condition occurs because Farmer Groups are often used
as a tool or forum to provide assistance/subsidies related to government
programs, so that the formation and growth of Farmer Groups is often carried
out because of projects, and when the projects end, the Farmer Groups no longer
function or remain in name only.
Becoming a member of a
Farmer's Group is very important for farmers, where Farmer's Groups are
important for developing the agricultural sector. Through discussions in
groups, farmers can support each other and share information. Groups as entities
are more powerful than individuals. It is easier for the government to provide
support to farmers who are members of a group than individual farmers. Apart
from that, to be able to help the group development process, increase
cooperation between individual members and increase group productivity, it is
necessary to know the group dynamics that exist in the group (Munir,
2019).
According to Hermanto (2011) Farmer Groups are
farming institutions that directly organize farmers in developing their farming
businesses. Farmer groups are organizations that can be said to function and
exist in real terms, apart from functioning as a vehicle for counseling and driving
the activities of their members. According to Margono
(2000) Farmer groups are still used as the main approach in agricultural
extension activities. The group approach is seen as efficient and can be a
medium for the learning and interaction process of farmers, so that it is hoped
that there will be changes in farmer behavior towards better or better quality.
Thus, Farmer Groups have a strategic position in creating quality farmers.
Quality farmers are characterized, among other things, by their independence
and toughness in farming.
Based on the author's
initial observations in the field, it is known that the independence of Farmer
Groups in the
management of Farmer Groups in the city of Sawahlunto
has not been established and there has not been any significant increase in the
level of Farmer Groups. Where the results of the Farmer Group class
assessment in 2021 are known are explained in table 1 below:

BPP Talawi, Sawahlunto
City, 2022
Based on table 1 above, it
is known that in 2021 in Sawahlunto City an
assessment was carried out on 105 Farmer Groups, with the result that 86.66% of
Farmer Groups did not advance to class. Only 12.38% or 13 Farmer Groups were
promoted to class and 1 Farmer Group was actually lowered in class, meaning
they got less marks than the previous year's assessment. Meanwhile, the Farmer
Group should be a dynamic group so that it can become a tool for
its members to achieve goals, both personal goals and group goals.
The level of ability of the Farmer Group
will provide an overview of the ability of the Farmer Group, which is a
combination of the strengths or abilities of the group members, which will
further increase the effectiveness and optimization of agricultural development
activities in the future. Thus, the ability of Farmer Groups is very relevant
and significantly influences agricultural development efforts, especially in
achieving the targets and objectives of agricultural extension, namely to
increase farming productivity and seek changes in the attitudes and behavior of
farmers so that they are better able to improve their own welfare.
Five Class Assessments of Farmer Group
Capabilities as a basis for implementing Farmer Group coaching, from various
aspects, is the direction for Farmer Group coaching which is carried out in a
structured manner by agricultural instructors in an effort to increase
productivity which is supported by the management capabilities of Farmer Group
management, so as to achieve a significant increase in income. Encourage the
achievement of Farmer welfare.
The assessment of Farmer Group capability
classes is carried out by Agricultural Extension Officers every year, from this
process it will be possible to evaluate the development of Farmer Groups
carried out by Agricultural Extension Officers who are coordinated by the
Agricultural Extension Center and the Agency in charge of Extension. The
results of this assessment will become the basis for planning the
implementation of extension services in the following year.
Mapping the performance
and capabilities of Farmer Groups is needed in line with technological advances
and the needs of the business and industrial worlds. This strategy is carried
out so that therapy for Farmer Groups is in accordance with the Farmer Group's
ability class, becomes efficient and successful in achieving agricultural
development programs that can run smoothly and have an impact on the welfare of
farmers and their families.
Problem the capacity of
Farmer Groups is a fundamental problem in the framework of agricultural
development, meaning agricultural development In essence, it is
directed at efforts to improve farmers' welfare which can be more realized with
the existence of Farmer Groups with the suitability of the group's capabilities
so that the agricultural development program implemented can achieve the
desired targets. So, it can be said that the higher the ability of Farmer
Groups, the faster the agricultural development process will be. The
Farmer Group class assessment guidelines are still far from perfect, therefore
constructive criticism and suggestions are highly expected for future
improvements. In
connection with this, the author is interested in conducting
research with the title: �Analysis of Farmer Group Capabilities in the city of Sawahlunto ".
METHODS
A.
Place and time of
research
This
research was carried out in Sawahlunto City. The
choice of location was carried out purposively to see the development of the capabilities of Farmer Groups in Sawahlunto City. This research was carried out from
December 2022 to April 2023.
B. Types of research
This type of research is
research with quantitative methods used to answer the third problem
formulation, namely how to compare the results of the Farmer Group Capability assessment carried
out by the researcher in 2022 with the report on the results of the Farmer
Group Capability assessment carried out by the extension officer, which was
analyzed using the t test with the previous test. Normality.
C.
Data
source
According
to Arikunto (2006)
data sources are "research in the subject from which data can be
obtained". To make it easier to identify data sources, the author
classifies them into 3 levels, better known as the 3 Ps (person, place, paper) as follows:
1.
Person, in the form of a person. Person is a data source
who can provide data in the form of verbal answers through interviews or
written answers through questionnaires. The data source here is the Farmer Group Management in Sawahlunto City,
2.
Place, in the form of a place. Place is a data source that
provides displays in the form of still and moving conditions. The location of
this research is the Farmer Group Management
in Sawahlunto City, West Sumatra Province.
3.
Paper, in the form of symbols. Paper is a data source that
presents signs in the form of letters, numbers, images or other symbols. Which
become the
data sources here are various documents related to the implementation of Farmer Group Capabilities in
i
Sawahlunto City.
Research
data sources are an important factor that is taken into consideration in
determining data collection methods, which consist of primary data sources and
secondary data sources (Indriantoro, 1999).
The explanation of the two data sources is as follows:
1)
Primary Data Source: is
a source of research data obtained directly from original sources (not through
intermediaries) using the Questionnaire Method, namely collecting data by
distributing questionnaires to respondents to be filled in according to the
statements contained therein. According to Hasan (2005)
primary data is data obtained or collected directly in the field by the person
conducting the research or the person concerned who needs it. Primary data is
obtained from informant sources, namely individuals or individuals such as the
results of interviews conducted by researchers.
2)
Secondary Data Source:
is data obtained from other sources related to research. Secondary data is data
obtained or collected by people conducting research from existing sources. This
data is used to support primary information that has been obtained, namely from
library materials, literature, previous research, books, and so on (Hasan, 2005).
RESULTS
A. General
Description of Research Locations
Sawahlunto City is located about 100 km east
of Padang City and the landscape of Sawahlunto City
has very varied heights, namely between 250 meters to 650 meters above sea
level. The northern part of the city has relatively flat topography even though
it is located in a valley, especially the area traversed by Batang
Lunto, where around this river settlements and public
facilities were built during the Dutch East Indies government.
Sawahlunto City is bordered by:
To
the north: Tanah Datar Regency
South:
Solok Regency
West:
Solok Regency
East:
Sijunjung Regency
Astronomically,
the city of Sawahlunto is located between 0� 33'40� -
0� 48'33� South Latitude and 100� 41'59� - 100� 49' 60� East Longitude. Sawahlunto City has an area of 273.45 Km� or only around
0.65% of the area of West Sumatra Province. Talawi
District is the District with the largest area, namely 99.39 Km� (36.35%), Next
is Barangin District with an area of 88.55 Km�
(32.38%), Lembah Segar District is 52.58 Km�
(19.23%), and Silungkang District which has the
smallest area with an area of only 32.93 Km� (12.04).
All
sub-districts or villages in Sawahlunto City are
classified as non-coastal
areas. Topographically, Sawahlunto is located in a
hilly area with an altitude of between 250 - 785 meters above sea level, with
air temperatures ranging from 22�C - 33�C. Most of the Sawahlunto
City area is located at an altitude of 100-450 meters. Air temperature ranges
from 22 degrees to 33 degrees Celsius. The area of Sawahlunto
City is 27,345 hectares or around 0.65 percent of the area of West Sumatra
Province. Most of the The Sawahlunto City area is a mixed plantation, namely 10,057
hectares. Forest is the second largest land area in Sawahlunto
City with a land area of 4,322 hectares. The area of bushes/alang-alang
is 3,909 hectares, villages/settlements 3,068 hectares, rice fields 2,094
hectares and offices/industries 975 hectares.
There are four sub-districts
in Sawahlunto City, namely:
1.
Subdistrict Silungkang
2. Lembah Segar District
3. Barangin District
4. Talawi District
Sawalunto City is known as a
coal mining town. This city died after coal mining stopped.
Currently,
the city of Sawahlunto has developed into an old,
multi-ethnic tourist city, making it one of the best old cities in Indonesia.
In this city, which was founded in 1888, there are many old buildings left by
the Dutch. Some have been designated as cultural heritage by the local
government in order to encourage tourism and declare Sawahlunto
a "Cultural Mining Tourism City".
B.
General
Description of Farmer Groups in Sawahlunto City
A
Farmer's Group is a group of farmers or farmers, consisting of adult male or
female farmers as well as cadet farmers or young farmers who are informally
bound in a group area on the basis of harmony and common needs and are in the
sphere of influence and leadership of a farmer contact (Setiana, 2005).
There
are several things that are the same as those found by researchers with those
described by supporting literature, where the formation of Farmer Groups in
rural areas is generally due to the common interests of a group of people or
farmers who want to achieve common goals and there are also Farmer Groups that
are deliberately formed with the aim of being able to develop them. As a
learning tool for group members.
Each
Farmer Group basically has the function of carrying out activities to achieve
increased production in their respective farming businesses. Awareness of being
in a group can arise if the problems faced by community members are the same.
The results of the author's survey in the field show that the main motivation
for members' participation in Farmer Groups is driven by the desire to improve
business abilities and fulfill primary needs, especially to obtain sufficient
agricultural and livestock production facilities, where farmers unite and form
a group based on common needs, namely increase agricultural productivity. The
farmer's desire to form a Farmer's Group is achieved after the farmer fulfills
the basic requirements for forming a group. The formation of Farmer Groups
opens up members' horizons to accept and implement government programs with
joy. The existence of Farmer Groups in Sawahlunto
City has provided many benefits to farmers in carrying out their farming
businesses.
Based
on the assessment of Farmer Group capability classes in 2022, the number of
Farmer Groups that have grown is 316 with the number of farmers joining the new
Farmer Groups being 5,379 farmers.
Dynamic
developments and conditions in the field will greatly influence the grades and
ability classes of Farmer Groups. Changes in the values and ability classes of
Farmer Groups are then something that must be prepared to be faced and followed
up as best as possible in the development of Farmer Groups. It is hoped that
the results of the annual FARMERS' GROUP PAKEM assessment can become a
reference for developing Farmers' Groups in an effort to improve the quality
and independence of Farmers' Groups. In addition, with accurate mapping of
Farmer Group capability classes, it is hoped that this can be used as input in
preparing strategies for empowering Farmer Groups based on their capabilities.
Conditions
for assessing the ability class of Farmer Groups in Sawahlunto
City in 2022 based on the results of the Farmer Group class assessment as a
form of description of the condition of Farmer Groups in Sawahlunto
City can be seen in the table:

CONCLUSION
The results of research
regarding the Analysis of Farmer Group Capacity in Sawahlunto
City in 2022 show that there is no significant difference between the research
results and the extension scores, indicating that the implementation of the
Farmer Group Capacity Assessment is in accordance with the principles in
conducting farmer group assessments. Apart from that, the development of the
Farmer Group Capability classification in Sawahlunto
City has not experienced any significant changes. Aspects of the ability to
plan, organize, carry out activities, control and report, and develop Farmer
Group leadership have indicators that do not show significant differences
between research results and extension values. However, there is a significant
difference between the research results and the instructors' scores on aspects
of planning ability, especially in indicators that include business planning.
