Government's roles impacts the entrepreneurial orientation of rice farmers

Abstract

Farmers' entrepreneurial orientation needs to be improved to maximize the agricultural sector. The government's role is needed in optimizing existing facilities in the agroecosystem to make it easier for farmers to do farming. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of agroecosystems on the entrepreneurial orientation of rice farmers. A total of 200 respondents were taken by purposive sampling. Then analyzed with the PLS-Structured Equation Model. The results showed that the role of government policy had a significant positive effect on the entrepreneurial orientation of farmers, where it had a stronger effect on irrigated rice fields. Mainly, government support for the provision of agricultural tools and machinery (ALSNTN) has been proven to improve the entrepreneurial orientation of farmers, while institutional support for rainfed rice is the thing that most influences the entrepreneurial orientation of rain-fed rice farmers.
