ABSTRACT

The Land Optimization Program (OPLA) is one of the Indonesian government's strategic initiatives to improve the productivity of lebak swamp rice fields in support of national food security. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the OPLA Program and the income of lebak swamp rice farming in Awal Terusan Village, Sirah Pulau Padang District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The research was conducted from March to May 2025 using a survey method. The study site was selected purposively, while 36 farmers were selected through simple random sampling from a population of 361 OPLA participant farmers. Primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed using qualitative descriptive and quantitative approaches. Program implementation was analyzed based on the stages of OPLA implementation, while farm income was calculated through production cost, revenue, and income analyses. The results showed that the implementation of the OPLA Program had been carried out according to its planned stages, including land preparation, provision of agricultural inputs, planting and crop maintenance, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The program was supported by the development of water management infrastructure, the provision of rice seeds, water pumps, land preparation assistance, and agricultural extension services. The average production cost of lebak swamp rice farming was IDR 7,440,290 per cropping season, while the average revenue reached IDR 27,540,000 per cropping season, resulting in an average farm income of IDR 20,099,710 per cropping season. These findings indicate that the OPLA Program has made a positive contribution to the implementation of lebak swamp rice farming and has supported the improvement of farmers' income.
