[Strategy of quality improvement of food farming system intensification using postharvest equipment and machines]

anglais. Quality standardization of food crops is one of the important requirements in the development of food crops based agrobusiness/agroindustry. Therefore, quality improvement of farming system intensification through the use of agricultural equipment and machines gives positive effects on the quality standard achievement. But the application at farm level faced some constraints which could be observed by the slow adoption of mechanical technologies on postharvest handling. To increase work productivity was still the priority rather than the quality standard achievement. Also, the traders and the feed industries concern on the quality aspects was not strong enough to push the application of advanced postharvest technologies, although FAO had already establish the maximum tolerance of aflatoxin which was as high as 30 ppb. Therefore appropriate strategies are really needed on the application of postharvest technologies by using the system approach so that sustainability can be guaranteed. There is a possibility of the application of advanced postharvest technology package (compared to the traditional technologies) in East Java based on the very fast development/growth of food and feed industries. That good possibility could be implemented through the initialization of the mutual partnership among food crop based agrobusiness/agroindustry, system involved, such as the farmers, village cooperation/service system of postharvest machines and equipment, village workshop and food/feed industries. Government policies that could guaranteed the rational sellingprice of the food crop harvests which fulfill the establish quality standard is really needed. It concludes that in order to improve the quality of intensification of food crop farming system by using postharvest equipment and machines is system approaches which simultaneously concerns on the system performance of agricultural equipment and machines based on the aspects of labour productivity, application consistency and sustainability and also the equity of the rationale added value

Karenanya mutu intensifikasi SUT pangan melalui pendayagunaan Alsintan yang berpengaruh terhadap pencapaian standar mutu hasil sangat tepat. Namun demikian penerapannya di tingkat petani masih mengalami kendala, seperti nampak dari lambannya adopsi teknologi mekanis (Alsintan) dalam penanganan pasca panen yang lebih menekankan aspek peningkatan produktivitas kerja daripada pencapaian standar mutu hasil. Sementara itu, perhatian pedagang pengumpul dan industri pakan masih belum cukup kuat sebagai pendorong penerapan teknologi pasca panen (Alsintan) yang lebih maju, meskipun FAO telah menetapkan batas kandungan maksimum aflatoksin 30 ppb. Karenanya diperlukan strategi yang tepat dalam menerapkan teknologi pasca panen melalui pendekatan sistem agar keberlanjutannya dapat dijamin. Peluang menerapkan paket teknologi pasca panen yang lebih maju dari cara tradisional lebih besar mengingat industri pengolahan pangan dan pakan berkembang pesat di Jawa Timur. Peluang tersebut dapat diwujudkan melalui penumbuhan hubungan kemitraan yang saling menguntungkan antar berbagai pihak (Petani, KUD/Penjual jasa Alsintan, Bengkel Pengrajin Alsintan dan Industri pengguna) yang terlibat dalam sistem agribisnis/agroindustri berbasis tanaman pangan. Untuk itu, perlu dukungan kebijakan yang menjamin harga jual hasil yang layak atas pemenuhan standar mutu hasil yang ditetapkan (disepakati bersama). Kesimpulannya strategi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan mutu intensifikasi usahatani tanaman pangan melalui pendayagunaan simultan memperhatikan kinerja sistem penerapan alsintan ditinjau dari aspek produktivitas tenaga kerja, kemantapan dan keberlanjutan penerapannya serta pemerataan pembagian nilai tambah yang wajar (adil)
