Abstract

The resilience of smallholder plantations implies the ability of farmers to thrive in disturbances or disruptions on their farms. The farmers try to integrate social and economic capacities and resources to adapt, tolerate, and manage the risk, and enhance their farm resilience. There are three priority plantation commodities contributing to Indonesia’s economic growth, particularly Bengkulu Province, which are oil palm, rubber, and coffee. Thus, it is important to understand the resilience of smallholder plantations in Bengkulu Province. 360 farmers have been surveyed from six villages in three districts (North Bengkulu, South Bengkulu, and Rejang Lebong). The method deployed in this study is quantitative descriptive analysis. This research developed a multidimensional resilience indicators approach based on farmers’ perceptions about their capacity of adaptability, recoverability, anticipation, and innovation level. These fourth resilience indicators were assessed by 12 sub-indicators which have been arranged in a structured questionnaire. The results show that more than 50% of smallholder plantations in Bengkulu Province are classified as less resilient smallholders. The further finding also indicates that the most resilient smallholders are coffee farmers, whereas the least resilient smallholders are rubber farmers. The smallholding farmers in Bengkulu Province generally are innovative farmers and have good recoverability. However, they are quite adaptive and less anticipatory farmers.
