Abstract

The phenomenon of increasingly limited soybean production to meet domestic demand is caused by the suboptimal role of Poktan administrators. This is influenced by characteristics that affect soybean production/productivity. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of Poktan administrators. This study is a descriptive quantitative analysis using a survey method. The research was conducted in Jember Regency in 11 villages and 8 sub-districts where soybean farming is practised in 2025, with a sample size of 50 people. The results of this study reveal that 1) the average age of respondents is 56.34 years, 2) the average level of formal education of respondents is classified as moderate to high, 3) the types of side jobs pursued by respondents include: traders, entrepreneurs, mechanics, livestock farmers, PIN suppliers, seedling partners, and teachers, and most (64%) of respondents did not answer, 4) the average number of dependents in the household was 3.38 people (classified as middle-class families), 5) the average length of time the respondents had been members and administrators of the farmer organisation was 21.84 years, 6) the average land area controlled by the respondents was 2.28 hectares, 7) the average area of land controlled by respondents and planted with soybeans is 1.31 hectares, 8) most respondents behave as high-level pioneers, and 9) the average productivity of soybean land in the study area is 1.15 tonnes per hectare.
