Abstract


Abstract—This study aimed to determine the characteristics of farmers and to analyze the factors influencing the application of bioindustrial agriculture technology based on the cattle-oil palm integration. The study was conducted in Jambi Province, Indonesia with 225 respondents. Respondents were selected using multistage cluster random sampling. The analysis of the effect of characteristics on the application of bioindustrial agriculture technology was carried out by multiple regression analysis. Results showed that the farmers in the study area was relatively old with low education level but their income and experience were high categorize. The land size of oil palm was in the medium category, the age of oil palm was classified as old, and the number of cattle was classified as moderate. The level of application of bioindustrial agriculture technology based on the cattle-oil palm integration was in the medium category. The characteristics of farmers simultaneously had a very significant effect on the level of application of bioindustrial agriculture technology. The characteristics of farmers that have a significant effect on the application of bioindustrial agriculture technology were income, experience, land size of oil palm and number of cattle. The development of bioindustrial agriculture needs to be carried out continuously by disseminating bioindustrial agriculture technology by giving attention to the characteristics of farmers, capital support, facilities and infrastructures.
