Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the age, level of education, and length of being buffalo farmers with their ability to access the information and financial supports from the government and the banks. The study has been carried out in Pemalang Regency, with the total number of 184 respondents has been selected. The results showed that as many as 73.19% of buffalo farmers were in productive age and had a low level of education. They have been being farmers for different duration from 1-50 years and most of them (94.23%) were members of the farmer group. The farmers’ ability to access the information was in a low category (51.92%), their ability to access financial loans from the banks was in a low category (91.355%) and their ability to reach the government aid was in the medium category (56.73%). To sum up, the farmers’ age, the level of education, and the length of being buffalo farmers have a weak relationship with their abilities to access the information, fund capital, and government aid funds.
