with a production level of 2,513.86 tons. This lemon business
opportunity can be a good prospect and has many benefits in
various industries. Cihaurbeuti District is one of the lemon
producing districts in Ciamis Regency, but there are fluctuations
in production and fluctuations in prices. This happens because
there are various farming risks such as production, cost, and
income risks faced by farmers. The objectives of this study are to
(1) identify the sources of risk of lemon farming, (2) analyze the
level of risk of lemon farming, and (3) develop strategies that can
be done by farmers in dealing with the risk of lemon farming in
Cihaurbeuti District. The analysis model uses descriptive analysis
and risk analysis (coefficient of variation). The results showed that
there are four sources of risk identified in lemon farming, namely
weather and climate, pests and diseases, production facilities, and
price fluctuations. Based on the results of the analysis, the greatest
level of risk faced in lemon farming is at the risk of costs with
coefficient variation 3.32 (CV>0.5), it caused by fluctuations in
input prices. The strategy carried out by farmers in dealing with
production risk is done mechanically and chemically, while the
cost risk strategy is to use a contingency budget, but has not done
a handling strategy in the face of income risk.

Ulidesi Siadari — 2024-12-27

This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the exchange
rate of farmers in the primary food crop subsector in Jambi
Province. The scope of this study is the influence of rice and corn
production in Jambi Province, prices at the rice and corn farmer
levels, NPK fertilizer prices, and farm labor wages in Jambi
Province. This study uses secondary data from the Central
Statistics Agency and the Directorate General of Food Crops. Data
collection was carried out using literature and documentation
methods. Multiple regression analysis using ordinary least
squares (OLS) was used to test how strong the influence of the
independent variable (X) was on the dependent variable (Y). Still,
data processing was operated with Eviews or SPSS software.
Before testing using OLS, classical assumption tests such as
multicollinearity tests, normality tests, autocorrelation tests, and
heteroscedasticity tests were first carried out. The factors that
influence the exchange rate of farmers in the food crop subsector
in Jambi Province, namely prices at the rice farmer level, prices at
the corn farmer level, rice production, and corn production, have
a significant positive effect. The price of NPK fertilizer and farm
laborers' wages significantly negatively affect the farmer's
exchange rate. The price variables at the rice and corn farmer level
and rice and corn production have a significant positive effect on
the farmer's exchange rate in the food crop subsector in Jambi

the Farmer's Exchange Rate in Jambi Province.

DETERMINANTS OF SPATIAL MARKET INTEGRATION OF GARLIC IN INDONESIA

Indah Kartika Sandra — 2024-12-27

Indonesia's dependence on the international market causes garlic
prices to tend to fluctuate. Fluctuations in garlic prices tend to
follow the amount of production and available import supply.
Because Indonesia is an archipelagic country, garlic prices vary
in each province. The availability and demand for garlic in each
province are different, as well as fluctuations and disparities in
garlic prices between regions, which are driving factors for interregional trade, which indicates the integration of the garlic
market in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze
the determinants of spatial garlic market integration in
Indonesia. The types of data used are cross-section data on the
amount of garlic consumption by province, gross regional
domestic product by province, distance between reference and
follower provinces, amount of garlic production by province,
number of markets by province, length of paved roads by
province in 2020 sourced from the Central Statistics Agency and
Google Map. The analysis method used is multiple linear
regression. The results of the study indicate that the
determinants of spatial garlic market integration at the consumer
level in Indonesia are the amount of consumption of follower
provinces, gross regional domestic product of reference and
follower provinces, and the distance between reference and
follower provinces. Based on the results of the analysis, the
suggestion from this study is that to improve the efficiency of
garlic marketing in Indonesia, especially related to market
integration, the government needs to pay attention to the
determining factors of market integration.

SOCIAL VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLETE SYSTEMATIC LAND REGISTRATION - COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE AGRARIAN REFORM ACCELERATION PROGRAM IN GUGUK AND BENTENG VILLAGES, MERANGIN REGENCY

Hamzah — 2024-12-28

This study analyzes social vulnerability in implementing
Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) and community
participation in the Agrarian Reform Acceleration Program
(PPRA) in Guguk Village and Benteng Village, Merangin
Regency. The main problem of land governance in Indonesia is the
unclear boundaries of land areas that lead to tenurial conflicts and
weak protection of land rights, especially for indigenous peoples
and farmers. Since 2010, the Government of the Republic of
Indonesia has implemented the One Map Policy which seeks to
provide integrated geospatial data on land use and natural
resources for policy-making processes at the national and regional
levels. In line with this, the Government of Indonesia also
implements the Agrarian Reform Program. The Ministry of
Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency in
the 2015-2019 RPJM is responsible for issuing 23 million land
certificates (4.1 million hectares) outside forest areas (Other Use
Areas - APL) through the village-based Complete Systematic Land
Registration (PTSL). The PTSL program is very important to
strengthen land ownership, but it also carries a high risk of
triggering social conflict, especially in the context of social
vulnerability that impacts vulnerable groups. This study
emphasizes the need to understand the social and environmental
risks arising from the program and its impacts on communities,
especially related to conflicts over access and land ownership
