Agriculture is one sector which is very important for ndonesia! "his is #ecause thema$ority of the ndonesian population living and wor%ing in the agricultural sector& #oth

as farmers 'small farmers and large farmers(& as a la#orer& as well as the processing of

agricultural products! ndonesia is a country with a#undant of natural resources& this isdue to ndonesia)s geographical location #etween two continents 'Asia and Australia( and

two oceans 'ndian *cean and the +acific(!

Agriculture in ndonesia has a very significant role& #ecause agriculture in ndonesia not

only acts as a sustainer of life of the people& #ut also affected the sta#ility of the national

economy! Agriculture in ndonesia isnt only as a place to produce food& #ut also a placeof employment& especially small rural communities!

Agriculture is a comple, system& in which there are many issues that affect thendonesian economy system! n addition #ecause the ma$ority of ndonesian people who

depend on the sector& the agricultural sector is also one of the main foreign e,change

earner country! A wide range of e,isting pro#lems in the agricultural sector& ndonesia&among others:

-ot to create a fair system in agricultural land use 'ownership vs #usinessman(! n

this case the economic scale effort& still a lot of vacant land& and the conversion ofagricultural land ownership is unclear! "hough there are laws governing agrarian

land ownership& where a person can only have a certain amount of land to the

place of his residence in the areas! But in reality many people from outside theregion to master an area of land or a land with thousands of hectares in otherareas! .or e,ample in the area of Batu& there are thousands of acres of land with

an area of his property& #ut the status is owned #y citi/ens of Sura#aya or a%arta&

in fact rarely the vast land to land #ecause of sleep is not processed #y the owner!

apital resources ndonesian agriculture is still wea%& where the e,change rate of

ndonesian agricultural products is low& the ris% is high and profits low!

onversion of productive land to industry due to the implementation of the policy

is not optimal mapping of agro commodities related to land!

ea% peasant mentality pro#lem in the fight for their rights and wea% of

entrepreneurship!

3ess s%illed farmers& cultivating technical mastery limitations on certaincommodities& agri#usiness lac% of orientation& lac% of control of postharvest

processing& and lac% of a#ility to access the mar%et!

.armers lac% capital& the #an%ing system is less concerned with farmers&

agricultural insurance and there is no system of de#t #ondage!

n mar%eting& the price received #y farmers is not fair& volatile& dependent traders

and middlemen& to the detriment! astery of information and access to mar%ets

are wea%& the mar%eting chain length and unfair distri#ution margins


3/5

Awareness of farmers in a wea% organi/ation& some organi/ations that there is less

wor%& and less independent!

6arious issues a#ove should #e ta%en seriously #y the government! f it #e overloo%ed&the national economy will #e sha%en and communities #ecome increasingly difficult to

achieveth the apportionment! 7ntil now& agriculture is still su#ordinated to the

government& so that li%e the a#ove employed several %inds of pro#lems arise& such aschanges in agricultural commodity prices!

hanges in the price of some types of ma$or food commodities such as rice& corn& and

soy#ean can changes in the national economy! oncrete e,amples some time ago iss%yroc%eting national soy#ean prices caused some tofu and fermented soy#ean ca%e had

rallies& even some of them have gone out of #usiness #ecause is una#le to reach the

soy#ean price is overvalued! Similarly with tofu and fermented soy#ean ca%e are difficultto reach soy#ean prices& soy#ean farmers are not a#le to produce soy hindered #y erratic

weather which caused some farmers to crop failure& not to mention the local farmers

could not compete with imported soy#eans are cheaper and si/e greater than the local

soy#ean& soy#ean farmers ndonesian thus lost! ndonesia)s soy#ean farmers here do not

have the strength to compete with imported products due to ndonesian farmers are notinformed a#out the condition of the national mar%et& where ndonesian farmers

sometimes actually harmed #y the low price of soy production sales when sold tomiddlemen or wholesalers! "his is where the role of institutions #oth government

agencies neither private organi/ations is needed to help ndonesian farmers to manage

and mar%et their crops!nstitutional farming is the norm or customs structured and patterned and practicing on

continuously to fulfill the needs of community mem#ers that are closely related to the

livelihood of agriculture in the countryside! n the community life of farmers& farmers)

position and institutional functions are part of social institutions that facilitate socialinteraction orsocial interplayin a community! .armer organi/ation also has a strategic

point 'entry point( in mo#ili/ing rural agri#usiness system! .or that all availa#leresources should #e directed at the rural 8 prioriti/ed in order to improve theprofessionalism and the #argaining position of farmers 'farmer groups(! urrently

portraits of farmers and farmer institutions in ndonesia are still not recogni/ed as

e,pected 'Suradisastra& 2009(! 1

"he role of the institution is very significant& #ecause the activities of these #odies should

#e a#le to ma%e people selfsufficient and not rely on the government or even outsiders!

nstitutions must #e a#le to perform a variety of activities that actually reuired #y thepu#lic so that activities performed actually implemented& usa#le and useful to society!

nappropriate policy in managing the country)s economy will lead to misery for the

people! n the case of soy#eans a#ove& when the government imposed a policy of

importing soy#eans from a#road to meet domestic needs& the people of ndonesia who isa soy#ean farmer will lose money #ecause they can not compete with imported soy#eans!

;owever& if the government does not enforce the policy& it will #e a lot of tofu artisans

and entrepreneurs who will #e out of #usiness! "herefore& a role institution as a containerthat can help farmers to compete with imported products!

community& government agencies also must prepare for the type of communication media

that is really effective& so that people can receive the information su#mitted #y the agencyin the a#sence of re$ection or aversion that caused the failure of the process of delivering

information! "hus& people can accept and carry out activities that have #een prepared
