ABSTRAKKabupaten Kendal merupakan salah satu sentra produksi jagung di Provinsi Jawa Tengah dengan produktivitas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan produktivitas provinsi dan nasional. Produktivitas tersebut diperoleh petani melalui penggunaan beberapa input produksi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman teknologi usahatani jagung, mengetahui efisiensi, dan sumber inefisiensi serta penyebaran efisiensi berdasarkan sumber-sumber inefisiensi. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Wirosari, Kecamatan Patean, Kabupaten Kendal pada bulan Agustus-November 2018. Penelitian menggunakan data primer yang diperoleh melalui metode survei pada 30 petani responden. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan fungsi produksi stochastic frontier. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa petani masih menggunakan input produksi yang beragam sehingga efisiensi teknis yang diperoleh masih rendah, yaitu 0,57. Rendahnya efisiensi ini disebabkan oleh umur dan pendidikan petani, serta pengalaman usahatani. Dengan bertambahnya pengalaman usahatani, umur petani semakin bertambah sehingga efisiensi semakin berkurang karena kemampuan fisik petani semakin berkurang. Di samping dua faktor tersebut, pendidikan yang tinggi justru menjadi penyebab terjadinya inefisiensi usahatani. Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan efisiensi usahatani jagung perlu inovasi teknologi usahatani dan mengintensifkan petugas pendamping, serta meningkatkan daya tarik sektor pertanian bagi generasi muda dengan fasilitasi teknologi digital dan program pertukaran pemuda tani. kata kunci: efisiensi, jagung, sumber inefisiensi, sektor pertanian ABSTRACT Kendal District is one of the maize production centers in Central Java Province with higher productivity than provincial productivity. This productivity is obtained by farmers by using production inputs efficiently. This study aimed to determine the performance of maize farming technology, to know the efficiency and sources of inefficiency, and to distribution efficiency based on sources of inefficiency. The study was conducted in Wirosari Village, Patean Subdistrict, Kendal District in August-November 2019. Primary data was collected through a survey method by interviewing 30 respondents. The data was analyzed the stochastic frontier production function. The results showed that the farmer still uses diverse production inputs so that the technical efficiency of maize farming was still low which is 0.57. The low efficiency was caused by the age, education, and farming experience of the farmer. With the increase in farming experience, the age of farmers is increasing so that efficiency decreases because farmers' physical abilities diminish. Therefore, to improve the farming efficiency of maize farming it is necessary to technology innovation and intensifies escort officers, and increase the attractiveness of the agricultural sector for the younger generation by facilitating digital technology and youth farmer exchange programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
