- Abstract
The Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Palembang City is located in the Gandus sub-district, assisting in the form of ducks breeders to reduce poverty and improve community welfare. Methods of data collection using questionnaires and interviews with duck farmers. The number of samples as many as 68 people with the census sampling technique method. Data analysis method using SmartPLS with PLS Algorithm and Bootstrapping test. The results of data processing show that the assistance of ducks to farmer groups in Gandus sub-district has not been successful in increasing income and welfare. The income of duck farmers is not from selling duck eggs but from other sources of income. The factors that cause the failure of duck breeders are i) lack of experience of duck breeders in raising ducks, ii) inappropriate breeder environment because ducks can survive in paddy fields and swampy land so that the ducks can find their food. It is recommended that the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Palembang City should provide laying hens assistance to farmer groups because it is under the experience of farmers and the breeder’s environments.
