Resource potential in agricultural areas based on farmer corporations in Nglanggeran Village, Patuk, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta.

Five hamlets in Nglanggeran Village, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta are known to have the potential for cocoa and goats. Identification of potential resources is one of the success factors for establishing a farmer corporation in an agricultural area. The research objectives were 1) to identify potential resources (cocoa and goat's milk), 2) to identify the application of Good Handling Practices (GHP) in resource processing (cocoa and goat's milk), and 3) to identify the carrying capacity of resource processing facilities (cocoa and goat's milk). goat's milk) in Nglanggeran Village. The research method used was quantitative descriptive analysis to identify the potential and application of GHP in resource processing (cocoa and goat's milk) and scalogram analysis to identify the carrying capacity of the processing facilities. We used samples from all members of the cocoa farmer group and the dairy goat group in each hamlet in Nglanggeran Village (201 farmers). Quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the highest potential of cocoa and the best application of GHP came from Nglanggeran Kulon (±1435 kg/month wet cocoa beans). The highest potency of goat's milk is Gunungbutak (615L/month for May during September 201), while the best application of GHP was obtained from Nglanggeran Wetan. The scalogram analysis shows that the availability of processing facilities in Nglanggeran Kulon is categorized 1 (good) in maintaining cocoa resource potential, while Nglanggeran Wetan is categorized 1 (good) in maintaining goat livestock resource potential. The potential of resources, the application of GHP, and the availability of processing facilities in Nglanggeran Kulon and Nglanggeran Wetan strongly support the development of cocoa and goat farming centers based on farmer corporations in the Nglanggeran Village area.
