Abstract

Farmer institutions have an important role in strengthening individual and collective capacity through the process of social learning, strengthening collaboration, and optimizing production resources. This study aims to analyzed the institutional role of groups with the level of farmer productivity. The data used came from 38 respondents with the main variables of land area, production, and productivity (kw/ha), as well as respondents' perception data on three group functions: as a learning roles, the role for cooperation, and a production unit. The analysis method used is quantitative descriptive with interpretation based on the Likert scale.The results show that the average productivity of farmers is in the range  of 70-75 kw/ha, classified as a medium category. Group institutional variables show a positive role in increasing productivity. The function of learning roles provides an improvement of technical skills and knowledge,  cooperation role play a role in efficiency and coordination between members, while production units strengthen the collective economic capacity of farmers. The stronger the institutional function of the group, the higher the productivity produced. Strengthening institutional capacity is the main strategy in empowering farming communities towards efficient and sustainable businesses.
