Abstract

ABSTRACTProblems in Indonesia are still experiencing many obstacles, one of which concerns the level of productivity that is weak and not yet optimal. Production cannot achieve maximum results if farming activities it is not carried out properly and truly under what is regulated by the government. For this reason, as a follow-up to countermeasures in addressing these problems, the government will adopt a policy of subsidized fertilizer assistance. The method used is SEM with Smart PLS version 3.3.7 with a sample of 100 farmers. The test used consisted of Outer Model, Inner Model, Mediation test, and Hypothesis test. The distribution of subsidized fertilizers, the area of agricultural land, and the variables of preparation for the application of farmer cards and agricultural production are valid and reliable. Subsidized fertilizer distribution variable, land area to production variable mediated by farmer card agricultural preparation variable is referred to as Direct-only non-mediation. The area of agricultural land on the variable of agricultural production is mediated by the preparation variable for the application of the farmer card which is referred to as Direct-only non-mediation. The subsidized fertilizer distribution variable has a positive and significant effect on the preparation variable for the application of farmer cards. The distribution variable of the effect of subsidized fertilizer is negative and not significant on agricultural production. variable land area and agricultural production variables have a negative and insignificant effect on the preparation for the application of farmer cards. The variable of the agricultural land area is positive and significant to the variable of agricultural production
