Abstract

The price of agricultural products usually fluctuates cause of seasonal harvesting, bulky, voluminous, and the distance of the production centre to consumers.  This activity was conducted to build an initiative of the farmer association (Gapoktan) to self-governing over sub-terminal agribusiness (STA).  Extention and technical assistance were approached to solve their problem. Based on the analysis performed that STA has an important role in solving the weakness in the market.  STA is a power to strengthen the Gapoktan in facing market restrictions. The success of the establishment of STA in the production centre depends on the managerial ability of the STA management board.  They must push hard to build synergy between production and the market network.  After following the extension, member of the farmer association had been increased their knowledge about the requirement of STA establishment and STA management.  Technical assistance is delivered separately.  Gapoktan Sumber Katon initiated the self-governing STA focussed on horticulture production link with the market.  Besides Gapoktan Srikandi established the self-governing STA focussed on rice production. Development activities for pioneering Agribusiness Sub Terminals at Gapoktan in Kab. Pringsewu resulted in the establishment of a self-supporting STA in the centre of farming production.            Keywords: agriculture; farmer group; Gapoktan; self-governing; terminal-market.Permasalah utama produk pertanian adalah fluktuasi harga yang disebabkan oleh dinamika situasi produksi dan permintaan serta sistem rantai nilai produk dari produsen ke konsumen. Lemahnya akses pasar pertanian berdampak pada ketidakpastian harga di tingkat petani. Kegiatan ini bertujuan membangun kapasitas Gapoktan dalam inisiasi pasar alternatif melalui Sub Terminal Agribisnis (STA). Penyuluhan dan bimbingan teknis digunakan untuk metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pendampingan. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan bahwa STA memiliki peran penting dalam mengatasi kelemahan pasar produk pertanian. STA memperkuat Gapoktan dalam menghadapi keterbatasan akses pasar. Keberhasilan pendirian STA di sentra produksi tergantung pada kemampuan manajerial pengurus STA. Pengurus STA harus bekerja keras mendorong sinergi antara pelaku produksi dan jejaring pasar. Setelah mengikuti penyuluhan, anggota Gapoktan bertambah pengetahuannya tentang syarat-syarat pendirian STA dan pengelolaan STA. Bantuan teknis disampaikan secara terpisah. Gapoktan Sumber Katon memprakarsai STA swakelola yang berfokus pada hubungan produksi hortikultura dengan pasar. Gapoktan Srikandi mendirikan STA swakelola yang fokus pada produksi beras. Kegiatan pembinaan perintisan STA pada Gapoktan di Kab. Pringsewu menghasilkan kelembagaan STA swadaya di daerah sentra produksi sayur mayur.  Tumbuh kembang STA swadaya di daerah sentra produksi akan tergantung kepada kesungguhan dan kerja keras unsur pengurus dalam memperjuangkan akses pasar bagi hasil produksi pertanian anggotanya. Kata kunci: gapoktan; kelembagaan; pemasaran-terpadu; pertanian; sub terminal agribisnis; swadaya
