Due to its role in fulfilling the community's need for nutrition and a strategic economic commodity, beef is considered pivotal. The early system of beef commodity distribution obliges manufacturers to process beef in several stages, starting from beef cattle farmers to retail beef traders, beforeit reaches consumers. Such a long beef supply chain is allegedly one of the causes which bring about its expensive price, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, this research aims to collate a beef supply chain strategy during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This research was conducted in GorontaloIndonesia in June-August 2020. Sampling was done using the snowball sampling technique, from the farmers, traders, and butchers. Data analyzed in this research were primary and secondary. The data analysis used was the SWOT analysis. Our findings led us to formulate four beef supply chain strategies, i.e., 1) SO strategy: developing beef cattle breeding centers, delivering technical guidance and intensive socialization to farmers, developing reliable and sustainable institutional partnerships, and socializing agricultural waste-based food processing technology to farmers; 2) WO strategy: exerting the government's supports, i.e., equipment, capital, fodders, breeds, vitamins, storage equipment, and drugs for cattle and farmers, orienting the management system to semi-intensive and intensive patterns through a crop-livestock integration system), socializing a marketing information system to farmers, and using information properly; 3) ST strategy: protecting domestic markets, overcoming reproductive diseases and maintaining cattle health, and socializing digital marketing and product diversification; and 4) WT strategy: developing agribusiness markets and market operation, granting business credits to traders, and complying with the government regulation on the standard price for the sale of beef cattle and beef.

This study aimed to analyze lowland rice farming income and analyze the optimization of the use of production factors to achieve lowland rice farming efficiency in Telaga district, Gorontalo regency. This study was conducted from September to October 2021 by survey and interview, while the sampling used a simple random method. The data sources were both primary and secondary in type, while the data analysis used to examine the rice farming income used qualitative descriptive analysis. Further, the means to examine the optimization level of the production factor usage employed Cobb-Douglas analysis and Product Marginal Value. The findings showed the income average for a growing season reached Rp. 37.217.960 ha./GS., while the analysis results revealed the Revenue of Cost Ratio for farming achieved 2.14. Hence, the area is deemed feasible. Land area (X1), Seeds (X2), Fertilizer (X3), Pesticides (X4), and Labor (X5) had simultaneous effects on the income, but partially only fertilizer (X3) variable did not effect on the income. The use of production factors of land area, pesticides, and labor was not optimal because the optimization value obtained NMPxi 1, which means the need for reuse. Meanwhile, the use of seeds and urea fertilizer was not optimal yet because the optimization value obtained NMPxi 1, which means its usage needs improving to provide optimal interest for farmers at the research site.

This research focuses on · identifying the star system tradition in lowland farming in Gorontalo Province and · Analyzing the lowland rice farmers’ income using star systems. This research was carried out in April-June 2022. The data were primary and secondary. The method was descriptive-quantitative, using an income data analysis and an independent sample t-test. The results demonstrated that: · the Gorontalo society complied with the 4-star system tradition, i.e., Totokiya, Tadata, Otoluwo, and Maluo and farmers using star systems earned IDR8,595,476.00/farmer on average or IDR23,082,143.00/Ha on average at a revenue cost of IDR12,926,000.00/farmer or IDR23,082,143.00/Ha and a total cost of IDR4,330,524.00/farmer or IDR7,733,078.00/Ha. As exhibited by the independent sample t-test result, there was a significant difference in income between farmers using star systems and those using non-star systems in Gorontalo Province?

The data analysis used in this research is risk analysis, profit analysis and farming feasibility analysis. The corn-beef cattle integration system can provide great benefits, and a relatively small production risk. The risk of production in corn farming is greater than that of beef cattle (KV = 0.49<0.40). Meanwhile, the profit of corn farming is 10,027,029 IDR / season or 12,605,408 IDR / season / hectare with an R/C ratio of 3.12. The profit of the cattle business is 7,863,872 IDR / period or 1,669,831 / period / head with an R/C ratio of 1.25. So that the average profit of corn-cow integration farmers is 17,890,901 IDR.
