Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the most dominant sectors in Indonesia. The abundance of natural resources makes Indonesia an agrarian country. One of them is the Farmer Card Programme. This study aims to analyse the implementation and effectiveness of the Farmer Card Programme in Megaluh Subdistrict, Jombang Regency, using Edward III's policy implementation model, which focuses on the dimensions of communication, resources, bureaucratic structure, and disposition. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 18 informants consisting of Agricultural Service Officials, Field Agricultural Extension Workers, Fertiliser Distributors, Kiosk Operators, Farmers' Groups, and Farmers. The results of the study show that the implementation of regulations is still not optimal. The communication dimension is still not optimal in terms of information delivery and socialisation. The resource dimension reveals technical and human resource limitations. The bureaucratic structure dimension shows that coordination between actors is not yet synergistic. The disposition dimension is relatively supportive, but not all actors are responsive to farmers' problems in the field. Empirically, the communication and resource dimensions remain the dominant constraints that cause the suboptimal implementation of the Farmer Card Programme. The academic contribution of this research lies in the integration of Edward III's model with outcome indicators for implementation in the context of the Farmer Card Programme at the sub-district level. The practical contribution lies in providing operational recommendations for strengthening the optimisation of subsidised fertiliser distribution management based on improving communication and resource capacity.
