Budidaya dan Produktivitas Kopi di PT. Perusahaan Perkebunan Kandangan Pulusari/Panggungsari, Madiun

Abstract

This study aims to determine the cultivation and productivity of coffee at PT. Plantation Company
Kandangan Pulusari/ Panggungsari, Madiun. Data analysis in this study used documentation
techniques. Data analysis is carried out by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions.
Based on the results of the study, it is known that technical cultivation, social aspects, and legality
which are all three interrelated are problems that occur in the company. There is a change in
ownership of PT. The Kandangan Pulusari/Panggungsari Plantation Company greatly impacted
the company's management, until in the end there was no maintenance and many shade plants
were cut down. The lack of labor that is not proportional to the area of the garden may be one of
the foundations of poorly maintained gardens and cause less than optimal cultivation. The issue
of land with the status of Right to Use (HGU) which has expired its permit in 2012, creates
conflicts with the community. The community began to utilize plantation land by planting
commodities other than coffee, namely food commodities, and crops. In addition, irregular and
appropriate spacing between coffee plants and shade plants causes the quality of the coffee beans
produced cannot be maintained properly.
