      Abstract
      Produktivitas padi di Provinsi Riau mengalami penurunan akibat bencana alam seperti banjir dan kekeringan. Peningkatan populasi penduduk menambah tekanan terhadap produksi untuk menjamin ketersediaan dan kecukupan pangan bagi masyarakat. Pemerintah telah mengupayakan kebijakan Riau Bertani untuk meningkatkan luas tanam dan hasil panen padi, namun capaian program tersebut masih terbatas karena lemahnya kemandirian petani. Untuk mengatasi tantangan tersebut, peran kepemimpinan kelembagaan kelompok tani menjadi sangat penting. Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi Komunikasi (TIK) merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang berpotensi mengatasi permasalahan kelembagaan kelompok tani melalui peningkatan kapasitas petani dalam mengakses, mengelola, dan memperbarui informasi pertanian secara lebih efektif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik individu petani, peran TIK, dukungan penyuluhan pertanian, dan dukungan eksternal terhadap peran kepemimpinan kelompok, (2) menganalisis pengaruh peran TIK, dukungan penyuluhan pertanian, dukungan eksternal, dan peran kepemimpinan kelompok terhadap tingkat kemandirian petani, serta (3) merumuskan model dan strategi penguatan tingkat kemandirian petani berdasarkan hasil analisis faktor-faktor tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif yang diperkuat oleh data kualitatif. Lokasi penelitian dilaksanakan di Provinsi Riau pada empat wilayah kabupaten/kota, yaitu Kota Dumai, Kabupaten Bengkalis, Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi, dan Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir, yang dipilih secara purposive berdasarkan tipologi wilayah pertanian. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 301 responden yang ditentukan dengan teknik stratified random sampling berdasarkan kelas kelompok tani. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Januari hingga September 2024 melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam, kuesioner terstruktur, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial, dengan pengujian hubungan struktural antarvariabel melalui Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS SEM) menggunakan perangkat lunak SmartPLS 4.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran TIK berada pada kategori sangat rendah. Kondisi ini menggambarkan bahwa aktivitas petani dalam menggali, menyimpan, dan menyebarluaskan informasi pertanian masih belum optimal. Dukungan penyuluhan pertanian termasuk kategori rendah, sehingga diperlukan peningkatan kompetensi penyuluh, intensitas kegiatan penyuluhan, serta diseminasi manfaat TIK secara lebih luas. Dukungan eksternal juga tergolong rendah, yang menandakan bahwa bantuan dari pemerintah maupun penyuluh swadaya belum berjalan maksimal. Peran kepemimpinan kelompok tani berada pada kategori rendah, menunjukkan bahwa ketua kelompok belum sepenuhnya mampu menjalankan peran interpersonal, peran informasional, dan peran pengambilan keputusan secara efektif. Kondisi tersebut berimplikasi pada rendahnya tingkat kemandirian petani, terutama dalam kemampuan menyaring informasi, berdaya saing, menjalin kemitraan, dan beradaptasi terhadap risiko usaha tani. Secara inferensial, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik individu petani, peran TIK, dukungan penyuluhan pertanian, dan dukungan eksternal berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peran kepemimpinan kelompok tani. Selanjutnya, peran TIK, dukungan penyuluhan pertanian, dan kepemimpinan kelompok berpengaruh signifikan terhadap tingkat kemandirian petani, sementara dukungan eksternal tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kemandirian petani lebih ditentukan oleh kemampuan internal kelompok dalam memanfaatkan informasi dan teknologi, serta efektivitas penyuluhan dan kepemimpinan kelompok tani. Model dan strategi penguatan kemandirian petani yang dihasilkan menekankan pentingnya integrasi antara kepemimpinan kelompok tani, dukungan penyuluhan pertanian, dan pemanfaatan TIK. Sinergi ketiga faktor tersebut membentuk model pemberdayaan yang berorientasi pada penciptaan petani yang berdaya saring terhadap informasi, berdaya saing di pasar, mampu membangun kemitraan agribisnis, serta adaptif terhadap risiko dan dinamika usaha tani. Dengan demikian, model yang dikembangkan tidak hanya relevan untuk penguatan kapasitas individu dan kelompok tani di tingkat lokal, tetapi juga dapat dijadikan acuan strategis bagi kebijakan pembangunan pertanian berkelanjutan di era digital.
       
      Rice productivity in Riau Province has declined due to natural disasters, including floods and droughts. The increasing population has intensified pressure on agricultural production to ensure food availability and sufficiency for all communities. The government has implemented the Riau Bertani program to expand rice planting areas and increase yields. However, the program’s achievements remain limited, primarily because farmers' independence is weak. To address these challenges, the role of institutional leadership within farmer groups becomes crucial. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can help address institutional problems by enhancing farmers’ capacity to access, manage, and update agricultural information effectively. The objectives of this study are to: (1) analyze the influence of farmers’ individual characteristics, ICT utilization, agricultural extension support, and external support on farmer group leadership; (2) analyze the effects of ICT utilization, agricultural extension support, external support, and leadership roles on the level of farmers’ independence; and (3) formulate a model and strategy to strengthen farmers’ independence based on the results of these analyses. This study employed a quantitative approach supported by qualitative data. The research was conducted in four regions of Riau Province: Dumai City, Bengkalis Regency, Kuantan Singingi Regency, and Indragiri Hilir Regency, selected purposively based on regional typology. A total of 301 respondents were selected through stratified random sampling based on farmer group classification. Data were collected from January to September 2024 through field observations, in-depth interviews, structured questionnaires, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and structural relationships among variables were tested using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4.0. The descriptive analysis indicates that ICT use among farmers remains very low. This suggests that farmers’ activities in searching, storing, and disseminating agricultural information are not yet optimal. Agricultural extension support also falls within the low category, suggesting the need to strengthen extension agents’ competencies, the intensity of extension activities, and the dissemination of ICT benefits. External support is similarly limited, indicating that assistance from government institutions and self-help extensionists has not been sufficiently effective. Additionally, farmer group leadership is categorized as low, indicating that group leaders have not yet entirely performed their interpersonal, informational, and decision-making roles. These conditions have implications for the low level of farmers’ independence, particularly in their ability to filter information, compete in markets, build partnerships, and adapt to farming risks. The inferential results show that farmers’ individual characteristics, ICT utilization, agricultural extension support, and external support significantly influence farmer group leadership. Furthermore, the use of ICT, agricultural extension support, and leadership roles significantly affect farmers’ independence, whereas external support does not. These findings confirm that farmers’ independence is determined mainly by the internal capacity of farmer groups to utilize information and technology effectively, combined with strong leadership and the quality of agricultural extension services. The developed model and strategy for strengthening farmers’ independence emphasize the importance of integrating farmer group leadership, agricultural extension support, and ICT use. The synergy of these three factors forms an empowerment model that focuses on developing farmers capable of filtering and applying information, maintaining competitiveness in agricultural markets, building agribusiness partnerships, and adapting to risks and changes in the farming environment. Thus, the proposed model is not only relevant for strengthening individual and group capacities at the local level but also serves as a strategic reference for sustainable agricultural development policies in the digital era.
