Abstract:

The success of farming can be influenced by access to agricultural information. However, not all farmers can access and utilize information quickly and accurately. This research aims to analyze the level of access and sources of information, as well as the utilization of horticultural agricultural information by farmers in Raoda Village. The study uses a survey method with 35 horticultural farmers as respondents. Additionally, the research is supported by qualitative data. Qualitative data consists of indepth interviews with relevant stakeholders, including the Village Head, Chair of the Farmers Group (Gapoktan), community leaders, village officials, and female farmers. Qualitative data is analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and verification, while quantitative data is analyzed using cross-tabulation and frequency tables with Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS for Windows 20.1. The study's results indicate a relationship between the level of information access and its utilization. Low access levels lead to low utilization, mainly due to inadequate facilities and infrastructure for farmers to access information, making it challenging for them to utilize it effectively.
