The objective of the study is to understand the implementation of Self-sufficient Seed Village program and how the program is works on research area. The study was conducted with direct observation and interview to the rice farmers in 6 Villages in Mempawah Regency. Respondents were composed of participant and non-participants farmers of participant and non-participants farmers of the Self-sufficient seed villages program.
It was seen that almost all farmers were aware of the superior seeds of paddy, however application of superior seeds were only known by local breeders and farmers who produce rice, subsistence farmers however, tends to use local varieties and derivative seeds of superior seeds. Good demand of local rice and lack of budget to buy superior seeds are main factors which prevent subsistence farmers using quality seeds. Local breeders at research sites derived their budget source from selling superior seeds and they had small capital. Ownership of mechanical harvesting equipment low, leading to farmers renting the harvesting tools for which they have to stand in long queue which in turn effects their planting schedule. Farmer Groups (Gapoktan) membership and assistance from extension officers helps farmer understand using high quality seeds and improve their capability.
