Factors affecting adoption of good agricultural practices on the Java Arabica Sindoro-Sumbing in Temanggung Regency
Abstract:
Coffee is one of Indonesia's economic drivers for agriculture and a vital commodity of smallholders' livelihoods. Java Arabica Sindoro-Sumbing (JASS) coffee is massively grown in Temanggung, Central Java Province, and has potential development. However, coffee farmers face low productivity, climate change issues, and low income. The government concentrates on raising the GAP cultivation adoption rate to solve issues. Although JASS coffee has a chance to be developed, there has been no in-depth study on JASS coffee related to GAP cultivation adoption in Temanggung. This study aims (1) to analyze the farming systems practiced, (2) to assess whether farmers adopt GAP cultivation, explore farmer perception and constraints in GAP cultivation, and (3) to analyze the factors affecting farmers' adoption of GAP cultivation. This study was conducted in Tlahab, Kledung, Temanggung Regency. The farming system used an agrarian system diagnostic through focus group discussion and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, personal and socioeconomic data was collected by purposive sampling with 158 samples, then analyzed using the ordered probit model (OPM). The results showed that diversified coffee farmers were dominant, followed by rainforest and specialist coffee farmers. Most JASS coffee farmers adopt at a moderate level (75.32%), followed by high adoption (12.66%) and low adoption (12.03%). The sequence of constraints farmers face includes limited manpower, knowledge, and time. The ordered probit analysis of regression models and marginal effects showed that age, the number of productive coffee trees, and training significantly affect farmers' desire to adopt GAP. Increasing the agreement rate perceptions for shade trees, organic fertilizer, pruning, and rorak holes significantly affected the adoption level of GAP cultivation.
