ABSTRACT:
Farmer group management is a process of planning, activating and evaluating farmer group work programs. This research aims to analyze the internal factors that can formulate a development model for farmer group management, and analyze how much influence these internal factors have on improving farmer group management. The variables of this study consist of X variables, namely: Characteristics (X1), social psychology of farmers (X2), and the role of stakeholders (X3), and Y variables, namely; farmer group management. This research is designed as explanatory research. Data were collected from a sample selected by proportional sampling from 37 members of a purposively selected farmer group in farmer groups in three districts in Gorontalo City. The data obtained in this research were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that the variable characteristics, social psychology of farmers, and the role of stakeholders influenced the management of farmer groups with the following coefficients: 0.61, 0.85, and 0.45 significant at α = 0.05. Cumulatively (R2) the influence of characteristics, social psychology of farmers, and the role of stakeholders on farmer group management is 87%, the remaining 13% is the influence of other variables outside of this Research.
