Abstract
the welfare of the community by implementing local economic development as a community empowerment
strategy through the agricultural sector. This research aims to provide an overview of: (1) partnerships
established in the Potato Development Area, (2) job opportunities created in the Potato Development Area, and (3)
economic activity improvements to understand how the Potato Development Area can benefit the income of
agricultural laborers in the village of Karamatwangi. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data
sources used purposive sampling techniques to determine seven informants consisting of the Karamatwangi
Village Government, Forest Village Community Institutions, business actors, andfarm laborers. Data collection
techniques used in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The results showed that: (1) Potato
Development Area activities have involved the active participation of the Karamatwangi Village community, (2)
there are employment opportunities opened by the Potato Development Area, (3) there are increased skills
obtained by farm laborers from the Potato Development Area. In the implementation of the PotatoDevelopment
Area, there are obstacles related to the lack of increased income for farm laborers.This is because there has been
no increase in the quality or quantity of potatoes produced, and thesale of potatoes still depends on loan sharks
where the expansion of cooperation carried out by the Potato Development Area has not been widely opened. The
lack of expansion of cooperation has an impact on increasing the income of farm laborers who currently farm
laborers inKaramatwangi Village still have difficulty meeting their daily needs causing some farm laborers to be
in debt to money lenders, local illegal banks (emok banks).
