Ciamis Regency is a potentially developed coffee-producing area in West Java with Arabica and Robusta coffee types. However, in the current marketing process, it is still faced with various obstacles that make the supply chain flow non-optimal. Therefore, in optimizing the Ciamis coffee supply chain management, it is necessary to conduct further research related to supply chain flow, performance, and farmer’s share. This study aims to determine the flow, performance, and farmer’s share of the coffee supply chain in Ciamis Regency. This research uses the descriptive, SCOR, and farmer’s share methods. The results showed that the supply chain flow consisted of material flow in the form of green beans that flowed from upstream to downstream, the flow of information in the form of information (quantity, price, and quality of green beans) that flowed from upstream to downstream and from downstream to upstream, and financial flows in the form of cash payment transactions that flow from downstream to upstream. The performance of coffee supply chain management in Ciamis Regency has an average category with a value of 56.91. The most significant farmer's share value is found in the distribution channel from farmers to inter-regency traders, ending with outside-regency traders.

The agricultural sector plays an important role in the economic style of Kabupaten Bangli, where the population depends on their livelihood as farmers mostly. The tourist attraction of the tourism sector in agriculture is the magnetism of Arabica Coffee agro-tourism. The area of Arabica coffee plantations in Kabupaten Bangli in Bali which covers more than 1883.92 hectares as a whole. One of the districts (kecamatan) in Kabupaten Bangli that has the largest area of Arabica coffee plantations is Kecamatan Kintamani, which is around 1,836 hectares with 2017 production amounting to 2,112 tons per hectare per year. This is the area of coffee plantations which is the largest and with the highest amount of production among other districts in Kabupaten Bangli. This has the potential to support agro-tourism based on Arabica coffee plantations. The method used in this study is qualitative using mathematical operations. In this study, data analysis using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) data analysis techniques with the help of expert choice 11 software. The purpose of this study is to examine agro-tourism development strategies which are based on actors, factors, objectives, and alternative strategies for developing Arabica Coffee agro-tourism in Kabupaten Bangli, Bali.

The lack of capital for investment and limited access for small beef cattle farming to obtain credit from financial institution have contributed to the occurrence of share-beef cattle in rural areas. Through share-beef cattle pattern, the farmers (tenant) can rent livestock from other parties (individual nor government) within a share-beef cattle contract agreement. The purposes of this study were to determine the technical efficiency and the factors which influence the inefficiency from 108 small beef cattlebreeding, which consists of 59 farming operated by owner and 49 operated by tenant. The unit samples were selected by snowball sampling method and analysed by Stochastic Frontier Production. Our study showed that the average technical efficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by owner was at 0.73, otherwise operated by tenant was at 0.790. The inefficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by owner has negatively corresponded to the number of cows, the farmer age, the age of cow and the application of artificial insemination (IA), but positively corresponded to allocation of family labour and level of farmer education. The inefficiency of beef cattle breeding operated by a tenant has negatively corresponded to the application of artificial insemination (AI). Specific conclusion of the study was the technical efficiency level of small beef cattle breeding was not only affected by the ownership of beef cattle but also by the pattern of share-beef cattle. The share-beef cattle based on share income(50:50) may improve the value of technical efficiency compared to share-beef cattle based on share in-kind (share-beef cattle revolving cow or share-beef cattle revolving calf).
