Abstract:

One of the determinants of agricultural success is the availability of seeds to be cultivated by farmers. This is where the importance of having groups of seed breeders will later become a source of farmers' seeds. The price of kernels is relatively high and can be a source of income for farmers in addition to cultivating for consumption. The research’s objective - is to see how far the process of empowering partner farmers through socio-economic factors can affect the payment of partner farmers for seed breeders. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it is known that nine independent variables have a simultaneous effect on the income of 94 %, farmer partners include selling price with a percentage of 40.24 %; total production with a rate of 32.04 %; and production costs with a ratio of 8.69 %. These results indicate that the empowerment of partner farmers in horticultural seed captive farming with related companies has good prospects huge. It can be seen that seed is one of the most vital inputs that can affect the success of a plant's productivity, so excellent sources are needed.
