This synergy is expected to strengthen the role of vocational education in advancing the region’s flagship commodities, while simultaneously supporting the conservation and utilization of plantation crop genetic resources in East Kalimantan.
\r\n
\r\nThis coordination regarding the management of coffee genetic resources aligns with the broader objective of bolstering local plantation potential through collaboration, knowledge development, and the sustainable utilization of agricultural resources.

KUTAI KARTANEGARA (10\/09\/2026)<\/strong> — Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Samarinda (Politani Samarinda) memperkuat kontribusinya dalam mendukung peningkatan produktivitas dan ketahanan pangan Kalimantan Timur melalui penerapan inovasi teknologi pertanian dan penguatan kelembagaan petani.
\r\n
\r\nMelalui demplot bioinvigorasi benih terintegrasi sistem Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) di Gapoktan Mandiri, Desa Sidomulyo, Kecamatan Anggana, Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara, produktivitas padi meningkat dari 4,80 ton menjadi 6,95 ton gabah kering panen (GKP) per hektare, atau naik 44,83% dibandingkan musim tanam pertama 2026. 
\r\n
\r\nCapaian tersebut menjadi bukti bahwa inovasi berbasis teknologi dan pemanfaatan sumber daya lokal dapat memberikan dampak nyata terhadap peningkatan produksi padi secara berkelanjutan. Bioinvigorasi benih memanfaatkan mikroba potensial untuk meningkatkan vigor benih, sementara sistem LEISA mengoptimalkan sumber daya lokal untuk mendukung kesehatan tanah dan tanaman. 
\r\n
\r\nDirektur Politani Samarinda Hamka, S.TP., M.Sc., M.P., menegaskan bahwa perguruan tinggi vokasi memiliki peran strategis dalam menghadirkan teknologi yang mampu menjawab persoalan nyata petani.
\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
“Dengan menggunakan bioinvigorasi melalui sistem LEISA, produktivitas padi sawah pada demplot Gapoktan Mandiri meningkat menjadi 6,95 ton per hektare atau naik sekitar 44,83%,” ujar Hamka.<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\nKegiatan ini dilaksanakan melalui tim Politani Samarinda yang terdiri atas empat dosen, dengan pembagian tugas pada dua bidang utama. Bidang peningkatan produksi melibatkan Rusmini, S.P., M.P. dan La Mudi, S.P., M.P., sedangkan penguatan kelembagaan Gapoktan didampingi Andi Lelanovita Sardianti, S.P., M.M. dan Muhamad Yazid Bustomi, S.P., M.Sc.
\r\n
\r\nPendampingan tidak hanya berfokus pada peningkatan produksi, tetapi juga memperkuat kapasitas kelembagaan Gapoktan Mandiri yang memiliki 623 petani, 40 kelompok tani, dan 126 hektare lahan. Hasil pendampingan menunjukkan perbaikan dalam tata kelola organisasi, administrasi, SOP, kapasitas SDM, pengelolaan aset dan UPJA, kemitraan, serta akses pasar. 
\r\n
\r\nPengembangan demplot tersebut juga diperkuat melalui kolaborasi dengan Bank Indonesia (BI) Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Kepala Perwakilan BI Provinsi Kalimantan Timur Jajang Hermawan turut hadir dalam kegiatan panen dan peninjauan demplot, bersama jajaran pemerintah daerah dan pemangku kepentingan terkait.
\r\n
\r\nKolaborasi lintas sektor ini menjadi bagian penting dalam membangun ekosistem pertanian yang tidak hanya berorientasi pada peningkatan produksi, tetapi juga pada penguatan kapasitas petani dan keberlanjutan usaha tani.
\r\n
\r\nCapaian demplot Politani Samarinda juga sejalan dengan upaya Pemerintah Provinsi Kalimantan Timur memperkuat produksi pangan dan target swasembada beras 2026. Wakil Gubernur Kaltim Dr. H. Seno Aji yang meninjau langsung demplot menekankan pentingnya mereplikasi inovasi pertanian yang telah terbukti meningkatkan produktivitas.
\r\n
\r\nBagi Politani Samarinda, keberhasilan di Gapoktan Mandiri menegaskan komitmen kampus untuk menghadirkan pendidikan vokasi, inovasi, dan teknologi terapan yang memberikan dampak langsung bagi masyarakat.
\r\n
\r\nPeningkatan produktivitas sebesar 44,83% sekaligus penguatan kelembagaan petani menjadi pijakan penting untuk mendorong pertanian Kaltim yang semakin produktif, mandiri, berkelanjutan, dan berdaya.

KUTAI KARTANEGARA (10\/09\/2026)<\/strong> — The Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic (Politani Samarinda) is strengthening its contribution to boosting productivity and food security in East Kalimantan through the implementation of agricultural technology innovations and the strengthening of farmer institutions.
\r\n
\r\nThrough a seed bio-invigoration demonstration plot integrated with the Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) system at the Mandiri Joint Farmer Group (Gapoktan) in Sidomulyo Village, Anggana District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, rice productivity rose from 4.80 tons to 6.95 tons of harvested dry grain (GKP) per hectare—an increase of 44.83% compared to the first planting season of 2026.
\r\n
\r\nThis achievement demonstrates that technology-based innovation and the utilization of local resources can deliver tangible impacts on sustainable increases in rice production. Seed bio-invigoration utilizes beneficial microbes to enhance seed vigor, while the LEISA system optimizes local resources to support soil and plant health.
\r\n
\r\nHamka, S.TP., M.Sc., M.P., Director of Politani Samarinda, emphasized that vocational higher education institutions play a strategic role in introducing technologies capable of addressing the real challenges faced by farmers.
\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
"By employing bio-invigoration through the LEISA system, paddy rice productivity at the Mandiri Gapoktan demonstration plot increased to 6.95 tons per hectare, a rise of approximately 44.83%," stated Hamka.<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\nThis initiative was carried out by a Politani Samarinda team comprising four lecturers, with tasks divided into two main areas. The production enhancement sector involved Rusmini, S.P., M.P., and La Mudi, S.P., M.P., while the strengthening of the farmer group institution was supported by Andi Lelanovita Sardianti, S.P., M.M., and Muhamad Yazid Bustomi, S.P., M.Sc. The assistance provided focused not only on increasing production but also on strengthening the institutional capacity of the *Gapoktan Mandiri* (Independent Farmers' Group Association), which comprises 623 farmers, 40 farmer groups, and 126 hectares of land. The results of this support demonstrate improvements in organizational governance, administration, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), human resource capacity, asset and agricultural machinery service unit (UPJA) management, partnerships, and market access.
\r\n
\r\nThe development of the demonstration plot was further bolstered through collaboration with the East Kalimantan Representative Office of Bank Indonesia (BI). Jajang Hermawan, Head of the BI East Kalimantan Representative Office, attended the harvest event and inspected the demonstration plot alongside local government officials and relevant stakeholders.
\r\n
\r\nThis cross-sector collaboration plays a vital role in building an agricultural ecosystem focused not merely on increasing production, but also on strengthening farmers' capacities and ensuring the sustainability of farming operations.
\r\n
\r\nThe achievements of the Politani Samarinda demonstration plot align with the East Kalimantan Provincial Government's efforts to boost food production and meet the target of achieving rice self-sufficiency by 2026. East Kalimantan Deputy Governor Dr. H. Seno Aji, who inspected the plot firsthand, emphasized the importance of replicating agricultural innovations that have proven effective in increasing productivity.
\r\n
\r\nFor Politani Samarinda, the success achieved with *Gapoktan Mandiri* reaffirms the institution's commitment to delivering vocational education, innovation, and applied technologies that generate a direct impact on the community.
\r\n
\r\nThe 44.83% increase in productivity, combined with the strengthening of farmer institutions, serves as a crucial foundation for fostering an agricultural sector in East Kalimantan that is increasingly productive, self-reliant, sustainable, and empowered.

\r\nMenjawab Tantangan Kerugian Pascapanen<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nPenguatan teknologi pascapanen menjadi bagian penting dalam upaya membangun sistem pangan yang tangguh dan berkelanjutan. Selain meningkatkan produksi, upaya menjaga kualitas hasil pertanian setelah panen diperlukan untuk mengurangi kehilangan pangan, mempertahankan mutu, serta meningkatkan nilai ekonomi yang diterima petani.
\r\n
\r\nPersoalan tersebut semakin penting bagi petani kecil yang masih menghadapi berbagai keterbatasan dalam akses terhadap teknologi dan sarana penyimpanan. Karena itu, peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia dan penguasaan teknologi pascapanen menjadi salah satu langkah strategis dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan.
\r\n
\r\nMelalui program WFP ini, Haryatie Sarie memperoleh kesempatan untuk memperdalam pengetahuan mengenai teknologi pengelolaan kerugian pascapanen sekaligus mempelajari praktik dan pengalaman internasional yang relevan untuk dikembangkan dalam konteks pertanian Indonesia.
