At the same time an assessment was made of the effect on these farmers' incomes of the government sponsored rice BIMAS programme. Possibilities of increasing farm income were considered given the existing levels of technology, prices and resource available. The data used were from two of six sample villages (a base-line data survey) collected in February 1977 by the Rural Dynamics Study, Agro Economic Survey in the Cimanuk River Basin. The results indicate that on average people in the two sample villages lived above the poverty line, if this is taken as 240 kg milled rice equivalent per capita per year.

It was also found that low income farmers obtained less benefit from government assistance than high income farmers. With respect to resour...

This study aims to examine agricultural sector budget policies, fertilizer subsidies and irrigation infrastructure that affect farmers' income through the variable productivity of agricultural land in the food crops sub-sector in the 8 districts of Bosowasipilu which were food buffer advocates in South Sulawesi during the 2014-2018 period. Qualitative and quantitative analysis is carried out to illustrate the relationship between land productivity and farmers' income. The Cobb-Gouglas production function is applied by multiple regression models using path analysis for policies that affect the production and productivity of the agricultural sub-sector of rice. The results show that only irrigation infrastructure policies that have a significant effect on land productivity directly, however, do not have a direct effect on farmer's income but through land productivity as an interpening variable, it has a significant effect on farmer's income.

Multidimensional Poverty Index in Agricultural Households in Indonesia.pdf
POVERTY AND SOCIAL PROTECTION CONFERENCE , 2016
Poverty is one of the central issues in the development program of Indonesia. In 2014, more than 27 million people in Indonesia live in poverty and over than 60 per cent of them lived in rural areas which heavily rely on the agriculture sector as their livelihood (BPS-Statistics Indonesia, 2014). This fact confirms that poverty eradication in agriculture is the key factor in reducing poverty in Indonesia. Data and information about poverty are really needed in the fight against poverty. However, the formal poverty data that available counts only direct monetary income and neglects other qualitative dimensions of poverty like health and education. Therefore, researchers are interested in measuring the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) in an agricultural household in Indonesia. This research used secondary data from the latest 2014 National Social Economic Survey of Indonesia (SUSENAS 2014). The total number of sample in this research was 285,400 household. The measurement of MPI was conducted exploratory by factor analysis. Data was entered and analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) computer program. The analysis was performed on the 33 provinces in Indonesia. Based on the result of the analysis, we found that, in term of multidimensional poverty, poverty in Indonesia is also an agricultural phenomenon. Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) in an agricultural household in Indonesia was 0.30 and much higher than MPI in a non-agriculture sector that was only 0.11. More than 60 per cent of people in the agricultural household were considered as poor multidimensionality. The intensity of poverty in agriculture household was 0.50. It is also much higher than the intensity of poverty in non-agricultural sector and intensity of poverty in total that was 0.45 and 0.48, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that any effort to address poverty must consider the central place of agriculture in Indonesia. Besides, poverty reduction must not only focus on improving the income of farmers but also on boosting the capability (level of health and education) of poor people.
