Farmer investment into biosecurity on broiler and layer farms in Bali

This paper measures the cost of implementing biosecurity on broiler and layer farms in Bali. Farmer investment in biosecurity is analysed to determine if there is any difference in the implementation of biosecurity between broiler and layer farms. Data is taken from a survey of 60 layer and 60 broiler smallholder farmers in Bali in 2009. While secure boundary fencing and farm gate locks are more common on layer farms, broiler producers are more likely to have a footbaths at the shed door. In this analysis, biosecurity investments include the quality of fencing and gates, presence of locks on gates, management changes required to minimise staff and visitor movement onto and in the farm, costs of minimising vehicle entry, use of vaccination and disinfectant, chlorination of water and quality of the chicken shed. Defining the relationships between present investment decisions and farm type, size and mortality rates will provide useful information to decision makers concerning the cost-effective levels of biosecurity that should be adopted by smallholder farmers in Bali. In Bali, decision makers are not only the individual farmers but also the government and private companies.biosecurity, poultry, investment, Bali, Farm Management,

The Implementation of Talent Management Implementation at Regional Employee Agency Wonogiri Regency Central Java

Bureaucratic Reform (RB) in Indonesia represents a strategic redesign of the bureaucratic system to adapt to societal and global dynamics. Within the spectrum of RB-induced changes, particular attention is given to human resources, with Talent Management emerging as a pivotal element aimed at enhancing the governance of civil servants (ASN). This research seeks to explore the implementation of Talent Management in the Regional Employee Agency (BKD) of Wonogiri Regency, examining both supporting and inhibiting factors, and proposing solutions in line with Policy Implementation theory. Employing qualitative research methods encompassing observation, interviews, and documentation, the study reveals that the implementation of Talent Management in Wonogiri Regency is generally commendable, driven by effective communication, the commitment of the Wonogiri Regent, and clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Nevertheless, challenges include the absence of assessors, lack of an Assessment Center, insufficient budget allocation, and the absence of a dedicated field for Talent Management. Mitigation efforts involve certifying assessor employees, proposing the construction of an Assessment Center, requesting budget allocations, and refining the organizational structure to address these challenges and further enhance the Talent Management framework. &nbsp

Distribution of Gains from Cattle Development in a Multi-Stage Production System: The Case of the Bali Beef Industry

Beef production in Bali is dominated by smallholders, just like the majority of Indonesian agriculture. A wide range of policies has been implemented to enhance development of the Bali beef industry. Knowledge about the distribution of the returns from the development of the cattle industry, including marketing, informs decision making. This paper examines the benefits from cattle development in a multi-stage production representation of the Bali beef industry using equilibrium displacement modelling (EDM). Benefits are measured as changes in economic surplus. The distribution of benefits among farmers, processors and retailers is also examined.beef production, government policy, EDM, economic surplus., Agricultural and Food Policy,

ANALISIS PROTEIN, KALSIUM, NATRIUM DAN ORGANOLEPTIK SARDEN PINDANG TONGKOL DENGAN NITRIT DAN KITOSAN

Kandungan air ikan tongkol sangat tinggi, menyebabkan ikan lebih mudah membusuk. Pindang sebagai salah satu pengawetan ikan tongkol dengan metode penggaraman, masih ditemukan bakteri yang mampu hidup di lingkungan berkadar garam tinggi. Olahan menu sarden pada penelitian ini menggunakan pindang tongkol. Pengolahan pindang tongkol menjadi sarden menggunakan nitrit dan kitosan sebagai pengawet. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbedaan kandungan protein, kalsium, natrium dan daya terima pada olahan sarden pindang tongkol dengan penambahan nitrit 0,01 mg dan kitosan (1,5%; 3%). Analisis kandungan protein menggunakan metode kjeldahl, untuk analisis kandungan kalsium dan natrium menggunakan metode spektrofotometer serapan atom. Hasil yang didapatkan kandungan protein tertinggi pada kelompok kontrol sebesar 24,36%, kandungan kalsium tertinggi pada kitosan 3% sebesar 75,53 mg/kg dan kandungan natrium tertinggi pada kitosan 1,5% sebesar 2047,0 mg/kg. Hasil uji organoleptik sarden pindang tongkol pada rasa, aroma dan warna memberikan hasil terbaik pada kitosan 3% sedangkan hasil uji organoleptik tekstur memberikan hasil terbaik pada kitosan 1,5%. Oleh karena itu, sarden pindang tongkol dengan kitosan dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif pengawet dan mengurangi penurunan nilai nutrisi.Kata kunci:  Kitosan; Nitrit; Nilai gizi; Pindang tongkol; Sarde

The Marind Tribe’s Social Capital in Developing Cultivation of Paddyfield Rice in Merauke Regency, Papua, Indonesia

The focus of this study was to study the social capital possessed by the Marind Tribe in conducting a social relationship with facilitators as the source of information about paddyfield rice cultivation. This is to develop paddyfield rice based on the social capitals possessed by the Marind Tribe.

Realizing Regional Food Security Through Community Food Business Development in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia

This study aims to formulate a regional food security model based on the relationship between characteristics of the area of production, consumption and entrepreneurship with the performance of community food business development (PUPM) in the Province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The research sample consisted of 93 rice farmers, 96 rice consumers and 30 business people representing the Association of Farmers' Groups (Gapoktan) and the Indonesian Farmers Shop (TTI) owners, accounting for the total respondents to 219 people. Data analysis was using Smart-PLS. The results of the analysis show that the performance of the PUPM in NTT which is influenced by the characteristics of the production, consumption and entrepreneurship areas has only been achieved at a sufficient level. The analysis also shows that the new PUPM activities in NTT are able to fulfill aspects of access and stability, while the availability aspect is still very small. Nevertheless, this study has proven that the regional food security model in NTT can be realized through community food business development activities

Technical Efficiency and Economies of Scale for Partnership- Based of Virginia Tobacco Farming in Buleleng, Bali, Indonesia: A Non-parametric Approach

In operating their farms, Virginia tobacco farmers establish partnerships with a number of companies, such as Company GG and Company BB. The level of tobacco production efficiency obtained is considered to be dependent on the experiences of the partner companies. This study aims to analyze the technical efficiency and the economies of scale of Virginia tobacco farming in Buleleng regency, Bali. Employing a survey method, census was conducted on a total of 87 respondents. Data was analyzed using a non-parametric approach, with a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. Results show that based on planting location and acreage, the technical efficiency of Company GG partners is relatively higher than that of Company BB. The efficiency scale (SE = 1) revealed that farmers participating under the Company GG partnership is relatively more efficient compared to Company BB farmers. Further, the economies of scale score based on planting location show that the majority of Company GG farmers experience constant return to scale (CRS) category, while most Company BB farmers fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRC) category. A slightly different result is displayed by the economies of scale analysis based on acreage, where the majority of Company GG farmers with up to 4 ha of planting area is under the increasing return to scale (IRS), while farmers with >4 ha to 6 ha of planting area is under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. For Company BB farmers with up to 2 ha of planting area, 50% are experiencing constant return to scale (CRS) and 50% are experiencing increasing return to scale (IRS). Meanwhile, those who have >2 ha up to 6 ha, fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. Keywords: efficiency, Virginia tobacco, partnership, data envelopment analysis, Bal
