Abstract

The partnership relationship will be sustainable if the results of cooperation occur repeatedly and are mutually beneficial. This process continues until it creates a rule or norm of business relations in the pattern of partnership behavior. In this condition, the partnership relationship can be said to have been institutionalized, and will even last forever. The continuity of the partnership relationship can be determined by the values or stable positive behavior patterns of the partners. Therefore, there is a need for a study of (1) the role of each partnering party, namely PT. Agri Makmur Pertiwi, grower and Sidodadi Farmer Group, and (2) sustainability of partnership in hybrid corn seed production. The research uses qualitative methods with the type of case study research. The technique of determining the informants is done purposively. Data collection techniques by observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis techniques using source and time triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that (1) The role of the company includes establishing an MoU, providing source seeds, loan for fertilizer capital costs, field supervision, quality control, mentoring, and supplying production inputs. The role of the grower is none other than ensuring the existence of land, distributing seeds, production inputs, borrowing capital costs, and maintaining plants until harvesting. Meanwhile, the role of the Sidodadi Farmers Group is to provide land, collect farmer data, manage seeds, and care for harvesting. (2) The partnership program can continue with several conditions from several parties, namely from the Sidodadi Farmer Group requesting that prices at the farmer level be increased, while from the grower requesting that the supply of pesticides and medicines not be late, while the company requests that corn seeds produced by the provisions of the company.
