【 摘 要 】

Such literatures on the development of agricultural extension in Indonesia at present provides information that there are at least four issues of extension problems. Those four issues are mainly related to the quality and the sustainability of that extension services. Until the year of 2009, the institutional form of extension services at the provincial and at the district level in Indonesia was still diverse and was in the transition period from the old regulation to the new Law of Extension Services in 2006. Focus of this paper is to: (1) disclose the problem of agricultural extension in West Sumatra as the case site, particularly about the inter-functional aspects of inter-related components of extension services, and (2) to propose a reformatory idea about the institutional form of agricultural extension at the sub-district level which expected to be ensuring the sustainability of agricultural extension.
