BANDUNG, UNIKOM — On Thursday, 29 January 2026, the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), in collaboration with the Directorate of Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Ecosystems of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) of the Republic of Indonesia, organized a Technical Guidance Program (Bimbingan Teknis/Bimtek) on Financial Management for Food Crop and Horticulture Farmers in Sragen Regency.
Held at Front One Hotel Sragen, the activity formed part of the Program for Facilitating the Utilization of Digital Technology in the Agricultural Sector. The program was attended by representatives of KOMDIGI of the Republic of Indonesia, the Sragen Regency Local Government, and farmer groups engaged in food crop and horticulture production. Participants were guided to strengthen farmers’ financial literacy and capacity, enabling them to manage farming enterprises in a more professional, measurable, and sustainable manner amid the dynamic conditions of the agricultural sector.
The Technical Guidance Program (Bimbingan Teknis/Bimtek) series commenced with an opening session and remarks from the Director of the Directorate of Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Ecosystems of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as the Head of the Sragen Regency Office of Food Security, Agriculture, and Fisheries. Both emphasized the importance of strengthening financial governance as a fundamental pillar in supporting digital transformation within the agricultural sector.
As part of its academic contribution, the Faculty of Economics and Business of UNIKOM presented a team of resource persons led by Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA., together with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sri Dewi Anggadini, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., and Dona Eliana, S.Ak. The technical guidance materials were delivered in an applied and contextual manner, covering production cost planning, farm cash flow management, debt control and business risk management, as well as simple and practical profit calculation methods.
The program also addressed various real challenges faced by farmers, including fluctuations in agricultural input prices, uncertainty of harvest yields, and weak farm financial record-keeping that is often mixed with household finances. Accordingly, participants were provided with practical exercises in simple financial recording that can be directly implemented, while also being encouraged to apply disciplined separation between business and household finances. Through this technical guidance program, it is expected that farmers in Sragen Regency will be better prepared to leverage the future digital agricultural ecosystem, supported by more orderly, transparent, and sustainability-oriented financial management practices.
