“…Dalam sebuah penelitian di Malaysia disebutkan bahwa terdapat beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi pemanfaatan jerami padi oleh petani. Faktor-faktor tersebut yaitu tidak adanya insentif bagi petani, teknologi yang tidak efisien, kurangnya fasilitas logistik (penyimpanan dan pengangkutan), rendahnya tingkat keterampilan dan pengetahuan petani, dan kurangnya modal untuk mengelola jerami (Rosmiza et al, 2014a).…”

The utilization of rice straw as compost is very related to farmers' knowledge on how to compost agricultural waste. Knowledge of rice straw composting owned by farmers is closely related to socialization and training obtained from field extension officers (FEO). The role of FEO in the field becomes very strategic in an effort to increase farmers' knowledge about agricultural waste treatment and its utilization so as to provide economic impact. The purpose of the research is to understand the knowledge and perception of farmers about composting rice straw. By using survey and interview methods, this research also seeks to uncover farmers' knowledge related to rice straw compost. The research was conducted in 3 sub-districts in Klungkung (Klungkung, Dawan, and Banjarangkan) during May-June 2017. The results showed that farmers do not know how to compost rice straw because only 2.25% of farmers have ever attended rice straw composting training. Dominant farmers (74.16%) view if rice straw cannot be composted. The results of interviews with FEO in the Klungkung district obtained the fact that FEO never socialized rice straw composting.

“…The diffusion of both the information and the knowledge toward the adoption of innovation is synchronized by effective communication (Damanpour et al 2018 ). Therefore, it is vital to measure the accessibility of the agricultural knowledge and information among the paddy farmers of Malaysia (Rosmiza et al 2014 ). With the advancements in the domain of knowledge and information diffusion among the farmers give a chance for them to utilize and harness knowledge and information to increase the overall productivity.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in more than 4.3 million confirmed cases and more than 2,90,000 deaths worldwide. It has also given rise to fears of an imminent economic crisis and recession. Social distance, self-isolation, and travel restrictions have led to a reduction in the workforce across all economical sectors and have led to a loss of many jobs. Schools have closed down, and the need for commodities and manufactured goods has decreased. On the other hand, the need for medical supplies has increased significantly. The food sector is also facing increased demand as a result of panic buying and storing food products. In response to this global outbreak, we summarize the socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 on the various aspects of the world economy. In Malaysia, the COVID-19 epidemic has checked the resilience of the agriculture sector. Especially the Malaysian paddy industry as country imports 30% of its overall consumption from different parts of the world. The real price of rice triplicating for the consumers, which was alarming for nations in this pandemic situation. The Government of Malaysia introduced the National Agrofood Policy 2011-2020 (NAP4) in 2010 as a guidance document for the implementation of agricultural sector development programs and projects in Malaysia. The NAP4 's 10-year term is to be finished by the end of 2020. Several sectors demonstrate substantial success after approximately 8 years of introduction, while the other classes often lag behind the goal and progress quite slowly. Agricultural sector performance is affected by many problems and challenges. In acknowledgment of the poor success of this field, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-Based Industry has launched new approaches, policies, and programs that can change the agricultural sector more rapidly. The new direction is aimed at ensuring national food security and boosting farm and revenues. The authorized government agency needs to revise the policy formulation where Malaysia needs to set stages to revolutionize and modernize the rice farming to address the problem faced by the paddy sector in this pandemic situation to adopt GF. In this study, the researcher focuses on the improvisation of the policy to increase the paddy production sustainably.

“…Rice includes clumped food plants originating from two continents, Asia and West Africa (Umadevi et al, 2012). In rice cultivation, rice straw waste is produced, where production in each harvest is strongly influenced by the location and type of variety planted, weather, planting methods and fertilization (Rosmiza et al, 2014a). It is estimated that only 20% of this waste is utilized for industrial and domestic use.…”

Rice straw is an abundant resource that was still seen as a waste in intensive rice cultivation. Rice straw is said to be a resource because it can be used as organic fertilizer (compost) and contains nutrients that were beneficial for crop growth and soil fertility. The fact in the field was still found that rice straw was wasted, one of which was burned. A study was conducted through a method of observation and survey involving rice paddy farmers in 3 sub-districts in the district of Klungkung, namely Banjarangkan, Klungkung and Dawan. The aim of the research was to know the production of rice straw waste and the potential of wasted organic fertilizer in intensive rice cultivation. Based on the results obtained the production of dried straw waste in each harvest about 10.21 tons/ha. Farmers do not utilize rice straw as compost by reason, not knowing how to composting. There were 30.34% of farmers who burn straw because based on the knowledge gained burn is an easy way to restore rice straw to the ground. The impact of burning rice straw was around 5,887,086 - 7,888.7 tons of organic fertilizer wasted.
