2024-01-22T02:37:38+00:00

This study aims to determine the level of behavior of organic rice farmers in carrying out environmentally friendly rice cultivation, the relationship between farmer group support and other factors related to the behavior of organic rice farmers in carrying out environmentally friendly rice cultivation in Purwo Kencono Village, East Lampung. This research was conducted in Purwo Kencono Village, Sekampung Udik District, East Lampung Regency in October 2022. The respondents in this study were members of the Multi Baliwo farmer group with 30 people in total This study uses the census method with a descriptive-quantitative approach using data testing using non-parametric statistics using Spearman's Rank correlation test. The results showed that the behavior level of organic rice farmers was in the medium category. In this study, there are four factors that influence the behavior of farmers, namely: age, education level, and length of farming, but the results of the Spearman Rank correlation test show that only farmer group support is related to the behavior of organic rice farmers in carrying out environmentally friendly rice cultivation with a significance value of 0.487. ** which means the correlation strength is quite strong. Farmer groups have tried to maximize their role for organic rice farmers, especially in improving the behavior of organic rice farmers in carrying out environmentally friendly rice cultivation

Technical Efficiency Of Shallot Farming In Indonesia : Stochastic Frontier Approach

2024-01-23T01:50:04+00:00

This study aims to measure the production function and technical efficiency of shallot farms in Indonesia using a stochastic frontier and inefficiency effect model. The data used secondary data from national agricultural census data in 2013, which is consisted of with , which is consisted of 11,206 shallot farms, is employed as the unit of analysis. The data consists of six conventional inputs and several other background factors affecting shallot production spread across 33 provinces of Indonesia. Results from this study indicated that all inputs significanly affect shallot production in Indonesia. Labor was the most elastic input. The average value of technical efficiency of shallot farms is 0,82. The results show that shallot farms in Indonesia is still inefficient and there is a 18% chance to increase the production. The variables of inefficiency which significaly affected the production are age of farmers, education, proportion of self finance, government subsidy, cooperative, farmers group and the degree of commercialisation. Contract farming membership is not real.

This research aims to develop the potential of food crops as a first step in the development planning process. This research was conducted in Majalengka Regency and has resulted in three main studies. First, it identifies staple and non-staple food crops in the region. The data source used consists of time series data from 2018-2022, and primary data with sample determination using the Proportional Random Sampling method. The results of the analysis show that staple food crops in Kabupaten M consist of rice, corn, soybeans, peanuts and green beans, while non-staple food crops include cassava and sweet potatoes. Secondly, the study also indicated that rice is the main food crop in the region. Finally, maize and groundnuts were identified as priority crops for further development. These findings provide valuable information for agricultural development planning, focusing on the development of potential commodities.
