【 摘 要 】

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is an Indonesian indigenous plant, which belongs to the most valuable spices in the world. Central Java has been one of the clove production centers in Indonesia, but in the last six years, the area and production tend to decline due to poor management. In order to revive the glorious existence of the clove, the act of revitalization in the clove cultivation becomes crucial, given the role of clove as one of the world's important commodities. This research uses purposive sampling in some regions, namely Wonogiri Regency and Pemalang Regency. The respondents selected as subjects of this research are 30 clove farmers chosen from each regency in purposively using snowball-sampling technique. Apart from the clove farmers, the information is gained from the Field Extension Officer, farmer groups, clove traders, and any representatives from the related agencies. Revitalization is carried out by increasing the capacity building, the institution, and the cultivation activity of the clove farmers. The key of success in this effort is the good collaboration between the farmers, farmer groups, and the stakeholder involved.
