Determinasi Kebijakan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat di Daerah Kawasan Agropolitan dalam Program Hulu Hilir Agromaritim Bidang Pertanian

Abstract

Jember Regency is one of the largest rice producing centers in East Java and is a rice development area for East Java. Jember Regency has the largest average rice production in East Java, amounting to 915,198 tons. Therefore, rice production in Jember Regency is able to provide the highest contribution to National Production amounting to 1.381. In order to realize farmer empowerment in Jember Regency, the provincial government of East Java has held an agromaritim upstream and downstream agricultural program since 2017. However, this program has experienced bottlenecks in its downstream program. This research uses a qualitative approach. Research location in Jember Regency. Data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, observation and literature study. The data analysis technique in this study was carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the data analysis show that there is a determination that causes the program to fail, including the lack of support from the local government as the program provider, the farmers' lack of commitment as program recipients, and the limitations of the GAPOKTAN institution in supporting or supporting the program's operation. These three determinations ultimately hamper the agromaritim upstream downstream program from reaching its point of success.
