“…The average age of the farmers was 47 years. This finding agrees with that of cassava farmer-processors reported in Saediman et al (2016), implying that most cassava farmers were in their productive age. Mean household size was 5 persons.…”

“…The percentage of households with food secure status in the present study was lower compared to that in cassava growing villages in South Buton District, which accounted for 96.1% (Saediman et al, 2016). This difference was understandable because the households in the present study were beneficiaries of raskin programme that targeted poorhouseholds in the village.…”

“…Seen from per capita monthly average expenditure by food group, the share of prepared foods and cereals is 33.98% and 12.02%, respectively, whereas the share of tubers is only 1.01% (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2018). Similarly, Rae (as cited in Saediman et al, 2016) found that as a proportion of the total household calorie intake, the mean share of rice reaches 65.04% compared to tubers that only accounts for 2.43%. Indeed, at the national level, staple food consumption pattern was leading toward single staple (namely rice), including in the provinces in Eastern Indonesia that previously highly consumed traditional staple foods.…”

“…Indeed, at the national level, staple food consumption pattern was leading toward single staple (namely rice), including in the provinces in Eastern Indonesia that previously highly consumed traditional staple foods. The predominance of cassava as staple in the study village and in other villages in Buton and South Buton Districts (Saediman et al, 2016) is a special case that warrants attention by the government to pursue cassava development for enhancing food security in rural areas. 1 reports average number of days of consumption of staples in the last seven days according to food security status.…”

“…Many studies have shown that cassava can contribute to enhancement of food security status of farming households (Muhammad-Lawal, Omotesho, & Oyedemi, 2013;Widyanti et al, 2014, Ibok, Idiong, Brown, Okon, & Okon, 2014Saediman, Limi, Rosmawaty, Arimbawa, & Indarsyih, 2016;Reincke et al, 2018). However, studies that particularly focus on food security of poor cassava-growing households are lacking.…”

The study assessed the food security status of poor households and contribution of cassava in their diets. Sixty-four cassava growers were selected from a Southeast Sulawesi cassava growing village using simple random sampling method. The United States Adult Food Security Survey Module was adopted in assessing the food security status of selected households. Data were analyzed qualitatively and using descriptive statistics. Results showed that a great majority (81.3%) of households were food secure. Average consumption of cassava based foods of 4.1 days a week compared to only 2.9 days for rice clearly confirmed that cassava was a dominant source of food and thus had contributed positively to the high food security status of households in the area. In view of its suitability with the farming and local food system as well as its importance in strengthening food security, efforts should be exerted to promote production, processing, marketing and consumption of cassava as staple food. 202affirmative. The questionnaire items were modified to a 30-day reference period rather than 12 month reference period (Coleman-Jensen et al., 2018).

Coastal communities can be particularly vulnerable to food insecurity due to a combination of factors related to their geographical location, socio-economic conditions, and environmental challenges. This research aimed to evaluate the level of food security in Bajo fishermen’s households. The study was undertaken in Kawite-wite Village, Kabawo Subdistrict, Muna Regency in Southeast Sulawesi. There were 161 Bajo fishing households living in the village, of which 64 households were selected as respondents. The food security status was assessed using the US Department of Agriculture’s household food security survey module. Study results indicated that 6.25% of households were in marginal food security status, 18.75% were in very low food security status, 65.54% were in low food security status, and 9.38% were in high food security status. If only grouped into two categories, 84.38% of households were food insecure, while the remaining 15.63%were food secure. The findings showed that most Bajo households were food insecure. Households employed two strategies to overcome food shortages, namely those pertaining to food and those pertaining to income and expenditure. The government and all stakeholders need to improve the food security status of Bajo fishing households.

The substantial market value of flying fish roe on the international stage has catalyzed excessive harvesting activities across its fishing grounds around Aru Islands, Maluku Province and has attracted fishers from various places to engage in the fisheries. This study aims to outline the income dynamics of flying fish roe harvesters from Wakatobi District who participated in the fisheries. Data were collected between December 2019 and April 2020 in Binongko Subdistrict, Wakatobi District, Southeast Sulawesi. Analysis was carried out to calculate the operational cost and returns gained by the harvesters. Ten fishers, each represented one of ten different harvesting groups, were selected as respondents. The study found that each harvesting group undertook an average of five harvesting trips per season. The cumulative income per fishing boat amounted to IDR 690,375,110 per season (or a six month period). The income distribution was based on a profit-sharing scheme, with 2/5 shares going to the boat owner and 3/5 shares going to the combined fishers (the captain and crews). Consequently, a fisher can make IDR 59,175,009 on average per season. The study provides a fundamental information for developing policies in promoting sustainability of the fisheries in the economic perspective.
