Abstract

In general, this study aims to analyze the implementation of subsidized fertilizer policies in Parigi Moutong Regency. This research uses a qualitative method, which is a method that is prepared based on certain rules in a real context, which aims to describe and explain systematically and accurately related to the fertilizer policy. The theory used is the implementation of policies from Grindle (in Nugroho, 2004:176), which includes four main aspects: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure.

The results of this study show that the success of policy implementation is highly dependent on good coordination between relevant actors and effective resource management. The positive disposition of farmers, extension workers, distributors, and the government is an important factor in encouraging policy success, although the obstacles faced can cause the change in disposition to be negative. Therefore, efforts to improve communication, extension training, infrastructure improvement, and a more efficient administrative system are needed to increase the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer policies in Balinggi District.
