Abstract
The transition of farming commodities represents one of the adaptive strategies adopted by farmers in response to various economic challenges, including rising production costs, commodity price fluctuations, and income uncertainty. In Telutu Jaya Village, Tinanggea District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, a number of farmers have shifted from lowland rice farming to patchouli cultivation due to its greater economic prospects. This study aimed to analyze the economic conditions of farmers following the transition from lowland rice farming to patchouli cultivation. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, which was subsequently expanded using the snowball sampling technique until data saturation was achieved. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, while data credibility was ensured through source triangulation and methodological triangulation. Data were analyzed through three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that the transition from lowland rice farming to patchouli cultivation had a positive impact on the economic conditions of farming households. Economic improvement was reflected in increased farm income and net income, resulting from the higher market value of patchouli and its relatively more efficient production costs. Furthermore, the transition enhanced farmers' ability to meet household needs, reduced economic pressure despite relatively unchanged family dependency levels, strengthened the ownership of productive and household assets, and improved housing conditions through the construction of more adequate houses and the provision of better household facilities. Overall, patchouli farming has become an effective economic adaptation strategy that contributes to improving the welfare of farming households.
