Abstract


This study aims to evaluate the role of agricultural extension officers in supporting the development of farmer groups in Kawangu Subdistrict, Pandawai District, East Sumba Regency. The research was conducted from October to December 2024. Data collection involved interviews and field observations. The study involved 78 farmers who are active members of local farmer groups. A quantitative descriptive method was used for data analysis, applying a Likert scale approach. The findings indicate that the role of extension officers as mentors received an average score of 306, categorized as "active role." As organizers, they scored an average of 293.4, also falling into the "active role" category. In their role as technicians and consultants, the average scores were 304.2 and 304, respectively, both indicating an active contribution. Notably, the role of extension officers as facilitators (dinamisator) received the highest average score of 307.2, classified as "very active role." Based on these results, it is recommended that relevant institutions, particularly the Department of Agriculture, strengthen the role of extension officers as facilitators and mentors. This can be achieved by promoting more participatory communication strategies and increasing the frequency of direct field support. Such efforts are expected to foster collective awareness, enhance farmer capacity, and encourage more active participation in the sustainable development of farmer groups.
