- Abstract
Farmers must be involved in the process of growing and developing the Agribusiness Sub Terminal (AST). Only then can this terminal play an optimal role. Therefore, they must be the subjects of the process. This study examined the level of the role of farmer group members and the factors that influence their participation in the Farmers’ Economic Institution through the Agribusiness Sub Terminal (AST). The Sidodadi Ramunia Village in Beringin District, Deli Serdang Regency, was used as the location of the research. There are observation and interview methods with Likert scales that have been tested before for validity and reliability. Meanwhile, the data analysis used the linear regression method. The result of the study indicated that farmer group members are highly involved in building the Farmers’ Economic Institution through the Agribusiness Sub Terminal (AST) with 91.54%. The roles of the agricultural extension worker and the head of the farmer group significantly influenced the farmer group members’ roles. Additionally, farmers’ independence also showed the same effect. Currently, no significant effect can be observed from government policies. Effective farmer institutions are expected to be able to make a real contribution to increasing their independence and dignity and improving their bargaining position.
