Abstract
The Rural Agribusiness Development Program (PUAP) is an
agriculture ministry program for rural farmers in order to improve the quality of
life, independence, and welfare by providing business capital assistance. The
PUAP program has been in place since 2015 which is managed by MFIs and
proposed by farmer groups through the GAPOKTAN "Tani Makmur", therefore
an evaluation is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of
success of the PUAP program implementation and to describe the social ecomony
factors related to the success rate of the PUAP program implementation in the
Gapoktan "Tani Makmur" in the PUAP program in Bangsri Village, Purwantoro
District, Wonogiri Regency. Data collection was carried out through interviews
with 70 randomly selected farmers. The success rate of the PUAP program was
analyzed by the Likert Scale Scoring method, while the factors related to the
success of the PUAP program were analyzed by the Spearman Rank Correlation
method. The analysis showed that the success rate of the PUAP program by
farmers in Bangsri Village had a mean score of 2.59 or was in the successful
category, where the context, input, and product aspects were in the successful
category, while the process aspect was in the less successful category. The level of
success of the PUAP program by farmers in Bangsri Village has a very weak
relationship with socioeconomic factors, which have a positive relationship with
age, experience, and family responsibilities, and have a negative relationship with
education.
