Abstract

A study of the strengthening of farmers' economy at the local level has been widely conducted. However, the strengthening of farmers' economy through the social policy is interesting to be conducted. By using a qualitative approach, this research aimed to identify the problems faced by farmers and to analyze the social policies that have been formulated and implemented to solve the problems. Small-scale farmers develop subsistence ethics by choosing safety than maximizing profits. For instance, rejecting the innovation of the new potato seeds. Meanwhile, field extension officers (PPL) are facing legitimacy. Farmers have a weak bargaining position in determining the price of potatoes. While traders are more dominant to control the price of potatoes in the market. Therefore, an appropriate social policy is needed to empower farmers.
