Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the performance level of agribusiness actors by applying the basic price of Arabica coffee in North Toraja Regency and to determine the role and relationship between the subsystems involved. This research used qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. Data analysis techniques used interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to determine the key factors in the agribusiness institutional system and used importance–performance analysis (IPA) to measure each institution’s performance level. The performance of Arabica coffee agribusiness actors in North Toraja Regency revealed that the actors who have high interests and low performance included farmers, agrochemical industries, companies, collecting traders, agricultural extension workers, and the agriculture office. By contrast, the actors with high interest and good performance include the Department of Agriculture, companies, coffee shops, and farmer groups. Moreover, the actors with low stakes and low performance included farmer groups, MSMEs, and coffee shops. At the same time, the actors with low interest and good performance included the agromechanical industry, farmers, and cooperatives. The findings were used to map the actors with the most important role in the agribusiness system and the linkages between Arabica coffee subsystems in the North Toraja Regency.
