Much research has been conducted on Gabungan Kelompok Tani (Gapoktan) or Farmers Organizations (FOs) as farmers institutions that perform collective action in the agribusiness from the input process to the processing process. However, previous research has not much explored the factors influencing the emergence of agribusiness collective action in FOs. The limitation of previous research leads to the failure to understand the emerging issues of processes and mechanisms of collective action within FOs. This study aims to uncover the factors that influence the emergence and sustainability of collective action of FOs. Furthermore, this study analyzes the effect of collective action on the increasing economies of scale and efficiency of FOs members. Content analysis method was applied in this research. The case study involved Farmers Organizations located in Kalangsuria Village, Rengasdengklok Sub-district, Karawang Regency.
