ABSTRAKPemerintah memfasilitasi berbagai prasarana dan sarana pertanian, antara lain subsidi pupuk. Penyediaan pupuk bersubsidi bertujuan untuk meringankan beban petani serta menjamin ketersediaan pupuk dalam hal ini urea, ZA, NPK, SP36, dan organik sesuai dengan permentan no 47/permentan/SR.310/12/2017 tentang alokasi dan harga eceran tertinggi pupuk bersubsidi. Agar penyaluran dan penggunaan pupuk bersubsidi tepat sasaran, maka dibutuhkan kajian mengenai komitmen dan dukungan pengawalan serta pengawasan dari seluruh pihak berkompeten, khususnya Pemerintah Daerah di NTB. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di 5 kabupaten/ kota provinsi Nusa tenggara Barat pada tahun 2018. Kegiatan ini menggunakan pendekatan kebijakan responsive dan antisipatif. Metode kegiatan dengan melakukan review dan sintesis hasil pengkajian, artikel dan data sekunder lainnya untuk merespon isu aktual. FGD, dan survei dikombinasikan dengan wawancara mendalam. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode analisis deskriptif. Tujuan 2018: Sistem distribusi pupuk di provinsi NTB. Adapun opsi kebijakan adalah meredisain pola penyaluran pupuk bersubsidi secara langsung kepada petani, PIHC meningkatkan peran supervisi atas kegiatan pengadaan dan pengawasan penyaluran pupuk bersubsidi di tingkat anak perusahaan. Pemerintah daerah mengaktifkan dan meningkatkan peran Komisi Pengawasan Pupuk dan Pestisida (KP3). Menambah alokasi pupuk subsidi diawal tahun. ABSTRACTThe government facilitates various agricultural infrastructure and facilities, including fertilizer subsidies. The provision of subsidized fertilizer aims to ease the burden on farmers and ensure the availability of fertilizers in this case urea, ZA, NPK, SP36, and organics in accordance with Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 47 / Permentan / SR.310 / 12/2017 concerning the highest retail price and subsidized fertilizer prices.SOCA (Jurnal Sosial Ekonomi Pertanian) Vol.13 No.2, 31 Agustus 2019 202 https://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/soca https://doi.org/10.24843/SOCA.2019.v13.i02.p05In order for the distribution and use of subsidized fertilizers to be on target, a study of commitment and support for supervision and supervision from all competent parties is needed, especially the Regional Government in NTB. This activity was carried out in 5 provincial districts / cities in West Nusa Tenggara in 2018. This activity uses a responsive and anticipatory policy approach. The method of activity is by reviewing and synthesizing the results of studies, articles and other secondary data to respond to actual issues. FGDs, and surveys combined with in-depth interviews. The data analysis method used is descriptive analysis method. Goal 2018: Fertilizer distribution system in NTB province. The policy option is to redesign the pattern of subsidized fertilizer distribution directly to farmers, PIHC increases the role of supervision over procurement and supervision of subsidized fertilizer distribution at the subsidiary level. Local governments activate and enhance the role of the Fertilizer and Pesticide S...

This study aimed to know: (1) the form of the collaboration done on the green cayenne pepper production and marketing between the farmer and the distributor (2) to analyze the farmer income on the green cayenne pepper production and marketing collaboration. This study was conducted in the central of the cayenne pepper production in East Lombok Regency in March 2017-March 2018. The survey method was employed in this study. The population and participants joined in this study were chosen by the purposive sampling technique. The descriptive analysis was done to merge the quantitative and qualitative analyses used in this study. Results showed that the cayenne pepper production and marketing between the farmer and distributor were productive and able to strengthen their social capital. Technological devices used were also effective in increasing the production of the cayenne pepper as much as IDR 11,343 IDR kg/ha. The farmer gross income mean was reaching IDR 243,210,000/ha, while the mean of the production cost was IDR 80,040,000/ha, therefore the net income was IDR 163/170,000/ha. The cayenne pepper marketing between the distributors in the West Nusa Tenggara and some regencies in Indonesia was done based on trust and some social norms agreed.

Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the horticultural commodities that have high economic value in Indonesia. The caterpillar, Spodoptera exigua Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important pest of shallot crops which decreases both production and yield quality. Farmers commonly spray pesticides to control S. exigua. This can cause negative impacts on the environment and farmers’ health. Therefore, environmentally friendly control measures need to be implemented. Use of sex pheromone traps can be an alternative in controlling S. exigua. This research aims to study the effect of moonlight and rainfall on the number of male imagos of S. exigua captured in sex pheromone traps and to study the correlation of the number of S. exigua imagos captured on the percentage of infested leaves and shallot yield. This study was conducted from March to June 2016 in Labuhan Lombok Village, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, Indonesia. Sex pheromone traps were randomly set on 12 shallot cultivation plots (Super Phillips variety). The number of male moths caught was recorded every 3-4 days, and then at the end of observations the percentage of infested leaves was determined. The number of captured male imagos of S. exigua had a significant linear relationship with the percentage of infested leaves and shallot yield with the correlation coefficient values of -0.607 and 0.829 respectively. The application of sex pheromone traps to control S. exigua on shallot, during moonlight and rainfall, has the potential to decrease both insecticide and production cost and to increase farmers’ income.

West Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) Province is one of the centres of beef cattle production in Indonesia. There has few studies that concern with population trends and improvement opportunities. This research aimed at determining the Gross and Net increase of beef cattle population during 5 years of period (2014-2018) in NTB and its development prospects. The data was collected through desk study, then analysed descriptively using a qualitative approach to provide an overview of the cattle population in NTB and its development opportunities. The results showed that from 2014 to 2018, the increase in Gross and Net population growth was in line with the National Beef Self-Sufficiency Program. The development opportunities are heading to Sumbawa Island considering the land potential, the utilization of the remaining agricultural crops, and the use of Lamtoro tree legume as the source of protein feed.

The RASTRA Program ended in 2019 replaced by the Non-Cash Food Aid Card (BPNT). There were two important things in the BPNT program, which were free to choose the type of rice and prices that change from time to time. When the policy was not well prepared, it can trigger high prices and many speculators appeared that affected the price and stock of rice on the market. On the other hand, Bulog had prepared a change of strategy in distributing rice to the community. This certainly had a direct impact on the community or Bulog itself. So that research needs to be done with the aim to find out the benefits of the BPNT program for the community and its impact on the Bulog. The research aim was to determine the benefits of the BPNT program for the community and the impact of the program on the National Logistics Agency (Bulog). The scope of the activity was reviewing the results of studies or research related to Bulog. The data collected through deskstudy then analyzed descriptively. The government program was able to reduce the expense load of beneficiary families and provide more balanced nutrition on target, on time, increase program effectiveness and encourage financial inclusion among grassroots communities, but on the other hand during the transition period in 2019 Bulog endures losses due to the BPNT program, So we need the support from all stakeholders to solve these problems.
