farmer group members as respondents. Data analysis used the
descriptive qualitative analysis method, Likert scale, and Partial
Least Square (PLS). The analysis results show that the dynamics
of farmer groups significantly impact the existence of farmer
groups. In contrast, the role of extension workers has no
significant impact on the existence of farmer groups. The research

and external support in fostering farmer groups' success and
continued existence. This research recommended that farmers'
groups focus on internal and external government support
mechanisms; the policy is needed to strengthen farmer groups,
leading to improved livelihoods for individual farmers and a more
robust agricultural sector.
