The research purpose is to determine the technical efficiency level and analyze the factors that influence technical efficiency of the Skipjack smoked fish processing business in North Sulawesi Province. The research method used is survey method in North Sulawesi Province. The data analysis used are descriptive and frontier production function. The production inputs are Skipjack fish, ice cubes, clean water, bamboo clamp, woka leaves, fuel, food coloring and labor. Samping technique with census as many as 81 people. The results show that Skipjack fish and water factors has positive and significant effect on production. The technical efficiency of the Skipjack fish business has an average of 96,17%. Seventy percent of respondent have range of 96-100% technical efficiency. Family size has a positive and significant effect on technical efficiency while age, education and experience have not. Variable of fresh skipjack and water have a significant effect on production, and there is still a 5% chance to increase production by increasing efficiency.

Smallholder oil palm plantations play an essential role in the Indonesian economy, both on a national, regional, local, and household scale. However, no data or studies show how much smallholder oil palm plantations contribute to achieving in each sustainable development goals (SDGs). The development of smallholder oil palm plantations, like other economic developments, wherever conducted needs to provide benefits to the community such that it exceeds the costs incurred, including the costs of preserving and protecting the environment. To assess its contribution, it is essential to examine the Sustainable Development targets in which smallholder oil palm plantations contribute. Therefore, this study is aimed at examining sustainable development goals to which smallholder oil palm plantations can contribute. Based on focus group discussion and the literature review, there are 13 SDGs for smallholder oil palm plantations that contribute and play a role in achieving the targets set by the United Nations in sustainable development. These results are significant as a basis for further studies to prove the presumption concerning the role and positive contribution of smallholder oil palm plantations in each of the existing SDG targets.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengeksaminasi faktor yang mempengaruhi volume ikan hasil tangkapan dan menganalisa efisiensi alokatif input produksi. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Bengkulumeliputi survai pada 60 nelayan perikanan tangkap dengan alat tangkap jaring insang (Gillnet). Fungsi produksi Cobb-Douglass digunakan utnuk menentukan faktor yang mempengaruhi volume ikan tangkapan dan efisiensi alokatif. Faktor produksi yang dimasukan dalam model adalah ukuran kapal, lama melaut, ukuran mesin kapal, jumlah ABK, dan biaya operasional melaut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lama melaut dan jumlah ABK merupakan faktor penting yang mempengaruhi jumlah hasil tangkapan, sementara faktor yang lain tidak. Lama melaut dan jumlah ABK tidak efisien sehingga penggunaan dua faktor ini harus ditingkatkan untuk mencapai efisiensi alokatif. ABSTRACT This research was aimed at examining factors that have an effect on the volume of catches fishes, and analyzing an allocative efficiency of input productions. This research was conducted in Bengkulu City involving survey on 60 fishermen of fishing vessel withGillnetfishing gears. The production function of Cobb Douglass used to determine factors affected the volume of catches fishes and allocative efficiency. Production factors were included in the model involving fishing vessel size, length of fishing day, vessel machine power, number of vessel crews, and operational costs. The research showed that length of fishing day and number of fishing vessel crews are an important factors affected the volume of catches fishes, while others are not. The use of length of fishing and the vessel crews were an inefficient. Therefore, the use of these two factors should be increased to gain an allocative efficiency.

PENDAHULUANLobster termasuk salah satu jenis komoditi perikanan yang memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi. Harga lobster di pasar domestik maupun internasional menunjukkan peningkatan sangat menguntungkan bagi nelayan dan juga pelaku usaha pemasaran lobster di Kota Bengkulu. Terbatasnya penguasaan aset baik itu teknologi maupun permodalan diduga menyebabkan belum optimalnya penangkapan lobster bahkan beberapa tahun terakhir ini produksi lobster di Bengkulu cenderung konstan.Lobster merupakan komoditi yang diminta dalam kondisi hidup. Lobster memiliki sifat yang mudah rusak membutuhkan penanganan dengan sistem rantai dingin. Rumitnya proses penanganan pemasaran lobster dan alur distribusi pemasaran yang panjang menyebabkan nelayan kesulitan menangani proses pengolahan dan pemasaran lobster sampai kepada tangan konsumen.Nelayan pada umumnya adalah nelayan tradisional yang memiliki peralatan melaut dengan teknologi sederhana serta modal terbatas. Dampaknya nelayan harus bergantung kepada pemilik modal serta penguasa teknologi dan
