Abstract

The transformation of public service governance in the agricultural sector is faced with demands for efficiency, results accountability, and managerial agility to dismantle rigid, traditional bureaucratic chains. The Regency Government of Kebumen addresses this challenge through an innovation called "The Role of Managers in Agricultural Corporations (PANDORA)," which boldly adopts private-sector techniques into public institutions. This scholarly article aims to analyze this agricultural service corporatization model through the lens of New Public Management (NPM) and New Public Financial Management (NPFM) theories, while integrating public value critiques based on New Public Governance (NPG) and New Public Service (NPS). Using a qualitative literature review, this study confronts empirical innovation data with global theoretical consensuses. The analysis shows that the PANDORA innovation successfully cuts bureaucratic inefficiencies through contractualization and output orientation. This model has consolidated 83 hectares of land across 8 sub-districts and boosted agricultural productivity to 8.9 tons per hectare via regional state-owned enterprise (BUMD) synergies and PATS technology. However, literature notes inherent risks, such as threats to public information governance, data leakage risks in third-party partnerships, and limited local digital literacy. Local thought emphasizes that corporatization must not replace fundamental state responsibilities but should serve as an enabling environment. This article recommends a hybrid governance model that secures corporate efficiency with public value audit mechanisms and multistakeholder oversight to guarantee inclusive economic sustainability for smallholders.
