In Kebakat Subdistrict, many coffee farmers are coached in cultivating coffee plants, one of which is the Singah Mata Farmer Group which is fostered by the Kebakat District Agricultural Extension Agency, Central Aceh Regency. The characteristics of the coffee farmers studied were age, education level, number of dependents, length of farming and Land area. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the characteristics of Singah Mata coffee farmers and the production in Kebayaan Subdistrict, Central Aceh Regency. The data used are primary data with direct interviews with farmer observations using a questionnaire and using the Chi-square analysis method.
Based on the analysis obtained from the results of the research, the characteristics that are significantly related to production are the number of dependents with a significant value of 0.047 and land area with a significant value of 0.000 and characteristics that are not significantly related to production, namely age with a significant value of 0.183, education level with a significant value of 0.285, experience with a significant value of 0.218. It is recommended that all members of the Singah farmer group who cultivate coffee in the Kebaya Subdistrict use family labor more efficiently in order to increase production in coffee farming and to the government to care more about the fostered farmers and continue to provide guidance and solutions and new information regarding farming activities. |
