Abstract

Abstract Farmer’s organizations play an important role in the development of the agricultural sector in Indonesia to become a medium for solving agricultural problems. Empowerment of farmers and small businesses in rural areas by the government almost always uses a group approach. One of the fundamental weaknesses is the failure of group development because it is not done through a mature social process. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Gapoktan organizational performance based on the achievement of Gapoktan functions. This study used a quantitative method with the research location of Gapoktan Pottanae, Tajong Village, Tellu Siattinge District, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi.
