Abstract

Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is one of Indonesia's leading agricultural commodities. Among the biggest pineapple producing areas in Indonesia is Subang, West Java. Besides having great potential, Subang pineapple farming still faces various problems, including decreased productivity and farmer regeneration. This study aims to formulate a strategy for pineapple fruit horticultural development based on empowering rural youth. The formulation of development strategy was carried out through the evaluation of the 2016-2018 Dompet Dhuafa’s pineapple farmer mentoring action program and a survey on the perceptions of village youth using a purposive technique. Meanwhile, the formulation of research strategy used the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) method. The evaluation results of pineapple farmers mentoring action program assisted by Dompet Dhuafa show that the performance index value is 63.29 on a scale of 1-100. This value puts the Dompet Dhuafa program as the program at a developing level. Based on the results of the youth perception survey in Cirangkong Village, 78% of Cirangkong Village youth do not work as farmers, but 72% expressed a strong desire to work in pineapple farming. To address the problems of productivity and regeneration, this study formulates seven alternative program strategies, namely: empowering rural youth, strengthening farmer institutions, expanding markets,developing pineapple processing industry, strengthening farmer capacity, strengthening capital, and providing superior pineapple seeds. Based on the choice of strategic priority, the main basis for the action program plan as outlined in the Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) is to increase the empowerment of young village farmers for the development of pineapple horticulture.
