Pandemic Covid 19 has affected all life sectors. One of the sectors affected by this condition is the livelihood strategies of the farmers. This research aimed to identify the livelihood strategies of farmers in Padang City during Covid-19. The research was conducted using a survey method in three selected districts in Padang City, namely Kuranji, Pauh, and Koto Tangah. They were selected based on the most populated districts in Padang City. 150 households were interviewed, which represented 50 households of each district. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The research results show that there are two kinds of livelihood strategies both on-farm and off-farm, which are survival strategy and collaborative strategy. Households that using survival strategies are characterized by limited natural resources, such as limited land, and do not have any permanent job in the off-farm sector. While households using collaborative strategy are characterized by the utilization of family labor in an informal off-farm sector such as small scale business and any work that relies on labor.
The government of Indonesia has committed to support the development of organic agriculture in Indonesia by establishing regulations on Organic Agriculture Systems in 2013. West Sumatra is one of the provinces in Indonesia which is very committed to developing organic agriculture. Before the decree was established, The Department of Agriculture of West Sumatra has allocated on Regional Budget year 2011 to improve the Organic Food Product Incentive by giving an incentive for 250 IDR per kilogram of organic rice. It was expected that it can influence farmers’ decision to recertify their organic products. Unfortunately, the incentive program was not continued in 2015. This research aimed to analyze the impact of government incentives on the sustainability of organic rice farming. The research was conducted in Limapuluh Kota Regency using survey methods. 65 organic rice farmers were interviewed. The research result showed that 80% of respondents agree that organic certification is a benefit for them. 20% of respondents do not think that organic certification is a benefit for their organic rice. As a result, they do not use the incentives for the benefit of organic rice production and organic recertification. 60% of them use it for household needs. Although the incentive program is not continued, 70% of farmers recertify their organic rice with the main reason is that it was the group’s decision. It is suggested that farmer’s motivation to re-certify organic rice should be become a consideration by the government for the development of organic rice farming programs.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis ketersediaan faktor produksi dan optimalisaasi produksi pada usaha sayuran hidroponik di Hydro Garden Padang. Penelitian menggunakan metode studi kasus, dengan respondennya adalah pemilik usaha dan tenaga kerja yang dijadikan sebagai informan kunci. Analisis data menggunakan model program linear dengan bantuan program komputer LINDO (Linier Interactive Descrete Optimizer). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Hydro Garden Padang membudidayakan lima jenis sayuran yaitu pakcoy, basil, kailan, romain dan arugula. Input-input produksi yang digunakan dalam kegiatan produksi digolongkan menjadi dua. Input produksi tetap yang digunakan memiliki umur ekonomi 5 tahun sampai 10 tahun. Sedangkan input produksi variabel tidak terdapat permasalahan dalam hal ketersediaannya sehingga proses produksi dapat berjalan dengan lancar. Hasil pengolahan data menunjukkan bahwa keuntungan yang diperoleh pada kondisi optimal yaitu sebesar Rp 6.358.493 dengan memproduksi pakcoy sebanyak 52,5 kg, kailan sebanyak 19 kg, romain sebanyak 178,125 kg dan arugula sebanyak 95 kg. Hasil analisis dual menunjukkan bahwa yang termasuk kendala sumberdaya terbatas adalah lahan, benih basil, benih romain, dan benih arugula. Jika terjadi kenaikan ketersediaan sumberdaya tersebut sebesar satu satuan maka akan meningkatkan keuntungan sebesar nilai dual pricenya. Analisis sensitivitas terbagi menjadi dua, yaitu analisis sensitivitas koefisien fungsi tujuan dan analisis sensitivitas nilai ruas kanan kendala. Hasil analisis sensitivitas menunjukkan nilai peningkatan maksimum dan nilai penurunan maksimum yang masih diperbolehkan agar hasil kondisi optimal tidak mengalami perubahan.
