Based on the research results and discussion, it can be concluded that the role of the Pekanbaru City Agriculture and Fisheries Office in empowering vegetable farmers in Maharatu Village, Marpoyan Damai District in 2021 is evident in the implementation of facilitator indicators, which provide assistance to vegetable farmers. Catalyst indicators include providing high-quality seeds at affordable prices. Regulatory indicators, however, are not implemented due to the lack of training programs for vegetable farmers, and dynamic indicators include the limited number of visits by the Pekanbaru City Agriculture and Fisheries Office to vegetable farmers. The influence of the Pekanbaru City Agriculture and Fisheries Office on empowering vegetable farmers in Maharatu Village includes conducting training, providing counseling, and providing seed and fertilizer assistance.
