Abstract
This study analyzes agriculture-based empowerment of local farmers through the development of the pineapple commodity in Matialemba Village, East Pamona District, Poso Regency. It applies Edi Suharto’s five-dimensional empowerment framework: enabling, strengthening, protecting, supporting, and maintaining. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving eight informants: the Village Head, a member of the Village Consultative Body, the Head of Planning Affairs, a Field Agricultural Extension Officer, a representative of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), the head of a farmer group, a farmer, and a local collector. The findings indicate that farmer empowerment initiatives have been implemented but remain suboptimal. Enabling has been pursued through farmer groups and the village development planning forum, but no dedicated pineapple-development program or budget has been established. Strengthening activities remain largely limited to agricultural extension and have not provided sustained training in processing and value addition. Protection is inadequate in addressing price fluctuations and marketing risks. Support is concentrated on production inputs, while post-harvest facilities, marketing access, and the direct role of BUMDes remain underdeveloped. Maintenance has been reflected in future planning, but the proposed initiatives have not yet been fully implemented. Consequently, the village’s pineapple potential has not been translated into sustainable farmer economic independence or stronger local economic development. The study highlights the need for integrated institutional, technical, post-harvest, and marketing support.
