Local Economic Development Strategy Based on Agricultural Potential in Jatisari Village

Abstract

Jatisari Village has great potential in the agricultural sector which can be utilized to develop the local economy and improve community welfare. However, the development of this sector still faces various challenges, such as limited market access, low adoption of agricultural technology, and lack of capital for farmers. This research aims to analyze effective strategies in developing the local economy based on agricultural potential in Jatisari Village. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection methods through in-depth interviews, field observations and documentation. The research results show that modernizing agricultural technology, increasing farmer capacity through training, and strengthening local institutions such as cooperatives and farmer groups are strategic steps to accelerate village economic growth. In addition, collaboration between village governments, the private sector and communities is very important to expand market access and increase productivity. In conclusion, a strategy that focuses on improving technology, developing farmer capacity, and strengthening institutions can significantly improve the economy of Jatisari Village and create sustainable economic development. It is hoped that this research can become a reference for other villages with similar characteristics to develop their local potential through a more efficient and productive agricultural sector.
