Analysis of the strategy for developing a prosperous rice program (Rastra)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and describe the benefits and formulate a strategy for developing the distribution of the prosperous rice program (Rastra). This research was conducted in Moncongloe District, Maros Regency, precisely in Bonto Bunga Village and Moncongloe Village. The sample used was 60 respondents. The data analysis technique used is descriptive quantitative data analysis and program benefit analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are problems encountered in the distribution of the prosperous rice program, namely, inappropriate targeting of recipients, inaccurate prices, and inaccurate quantity, causing the ineffectiveness of Rastra distribution to be at a percentage of 67.3%. The level of benefit of Rastra is lacking. The development strategy is based on the problem of updating the data for beneficiary households, equitable distribution of the quantity of Rastra for beneficiary households, additional funds from the Village Budget so that Rastra prices do not increase, as well as increasing the number of the Rastra ceiling.
