| Corn farmer in Kediri |
Due to some reasons, the youth in Indonesia do not pay enough attention to agriculture recently. The simple cause for them to feel at the first time is that agriculture deals with something dirty and disgusting. They assumed working in agriculture has to be farmers that get connected daily with sand, river’s water, rotten plants, animal’s waste etc. They also have to stay under the sun for a long time that can make dark skin and sweated bodies. Then being farmers is identically recognized with poverty. This assumption cannot be faulted because most of Indonesia’s people lived in poverty are farmers. It’s hard to be farmers since their cost of production sometimes is higher than the selling one. Their performance, they usually wear plain clothes, makes them look so simple indeed. The final reason is that there is less agricultural development by the government than the industrial one. It results lack of job opportunity for the youth to develop themselves. With all those conditions, people might be worried about Indonesia’s future in development as an agrarian country.
