I am a professor at Agribusiness Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jambi (UNJA), Indonesia. My research focuses on small scale farmers developments to enhance returns to farmers as producers. It ranges from specific issues such as farm input use efficiency to broader issues such as impact of government policies on farms development. I approach these issues empirically, which reflects my interest in econometrics. Currently, I serves also as the Head of Agribusiness Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jambi.
