| dc.description.abstract | Jambewangi Village has a high potential in
producing cocoa because there are many people's
cocoa plants that are cultivated either in the yard of
the house or in the forest. The high cocoa production
produced in Jambewangi Village is not balanced
with its declining productivity due to the lack of
optimal care for cocoa plants and not in accordance
with GAP (Good Agricultural Practice). The
implementation of GAP should be guided and
directed by a farmer group institution in order to
increase the productivity of cocoa, but the farmer
group is suspected to be still not optimal in carrying
out its role in accordance with the regulation of the
minister of agriculture Number
67/Permentan/SM.050/12/2016.
Another problem is that there is an increase in cocoa
productivity but it is not supported by the existence
of marketing institutions and their functions in
distributing goods, information, or cash which is
described by the cocoa commodity supply chain in
Jambewangi Village. The existence of a clear and
good supply chain will support the creation of a good
and integrated workflow from upstream to
downstream.
The researcher wants to examine the institutional
role of farmer groups (as a learning platform, a
vehicle for cooperation and production units) and
their effect on productivity and income as well as the
relationship between farmer characteristics and
perceptions of farmer groups using correlation
analysis, and existing cocoa supply chain in
Jambewangi. The data analysis method used is
scoring analysis, rank spearman and t-test. The
sampling method used is simple random sampling
with 30 respondents used and the research location
is in Jambewangi Village, Banyuwangi Regency. The
existence of this research can be useful for farmer
groups in providing direction to members to increase
production from cocoa plants and can increase cocoa
farmers' income by re-stimulating the role of farmer
groups based on the 2016 Ministry of Agriculture. | en_US |
