Abstract

This qualitative study examines the role of social capital in red chili farming in Manimbahoi Village, Gowa. Using a saturated sampling technique, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed via reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal high interpersonal trust and strong social networks among farmers, characterized by mutual assistance and information sharing. However, trust in group leadership remains low, and social norms lack consistent enforcement. While social capital is established, barriers such as individualistic farming patterns and weak institutional cooperation limit the exchange of technology and market information. Consequently, social capital has not been optimally utilized to enhance productivity. Strengthening leadership and formalizing group norms are essential to improve farming competitiveness
