Abstract
The empowerment of Mekar farming group is conducted to establish solidarity and independence. In agribusiness, the farmers are not only solid and independent in the capital-providing but also in the cultivation techniques, post-harvest handling, distribution, institutional, and business diversity. Therefore, they need supports from the stakeholders in accordance to their necessities. The results of the research show that the stakeholders- supports come from their primary duties, so that they need an instrument to unify them. Therefore, the farmers should have the major strength which is to integrate the stakeholders dynamically. The group dynamic is seen in the reorganizing process of the organizational structure in order to adjust the form of support given by the stakeholders. It is done to develop human resources for increasing the farmers- welfare.
