“…Thus, a 1% increase in the land area cultivated resulted in a 53.8% increase in cassava output, maintaining other factors constant. The finding on land, fertilizer, and labor were in line with Soukkhamthat and Wong (2016) and Murniati et al (2021).…”

Due to capital constraints and land scarcity in developing countries, introducing new technology to boost productivity is difficult. As a result, working to improve cassava production efficiency is the best option available. Cassava is increasingly being used as a food source as well as an industrial raw material in the production of economic goods. This study estimates cassava production efficiency and investigates the causes of inefficiency in southern Ethiopia. Cross-sectional data from 158 households were collected using a systematic questionnaire. The Cobb-Douglas (CDs) stochastic frontier production model was used to calculate production efficiency levels. The computed mean result showed technical efficiency (TE), allocative efficiency (AE), and economic efficiency (EE) levels of 74, 90, and 66%, respectively. This demonstrated that existing farm resources could increase average production efficiency by 26, 10, and 34%, respectively. The study found that land size, urea fertilizer application, and cassava planting cut all had a positive and significant effect on cassava production. It was discovered that TE was more important than AE as a source of benefit for EE. Inefficiency effects modeled using the two-limit Tobit model revealed that household head age, level of education, cassava variety, extension contact, rural credit, off-farm activities involvement to generate income, and farm size were the most important factors for improving TE, AE, and EE efficiencies. As a result, policymakers in government should consider these factors when addressing inefficiencies in cassava production. It is especially important to provide appropriate agricultural knowledge through short-term training, to provide farmers with access to formal education, to access improved cassava varieties, and to support agricultural extension services.

“…Non-technical problems faced by farmers in performing farming business will inhibit farmers from effectively and efficiently conducting farming, thus affecting their level of welfare. Cassava farming in Lampung Province is considered technically efficient, yet improvement is still necessary [7]. Problems faced by farmers included the limited use of production technology due to lack of knowledge, limited farm capital, farm management inefficiency, the absence of market assurance which resulted in low price received by farmers due to low bargaining power of farmers to processing factory, declining of soil fertility, thus lowering cassava productivity, and increase in input requirement and cost spent on cassava farming [3].…”

Indonesia is currently experiencing the Covid-19 pandemic which first started in March 2020. This outbreak continuously spreads throughout the regions including Lampung Province and has adversely affected economic activity of the society which included household income and welfare of cassava farmers. This study aims at analyzing the level of household income and welfare of cassava farmers during Covid-19 Pandemic Era in Lampung Province. This study applied survey method and conducted in the Regency of Central Lampung and East Lampung as cassava production center area in Lampung Province. A total of 120 people consisted of 60 people from each regency were selected through the method of simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted in July 2020. Data analysis was done using quantitative descriptive method. The level of household welfare of cassava farmers was analyzed according to the indicator of BPS, and Sajogyo. Result of the study showed that farmers experienced problems in accessing capital, production facility, and market of product during the Covid-19 era. Income gained from cassava farming dominated household income. However, there were only 31,67 percent of cassava farmers in Central Lampung and 5 percent in East Lampung who were classified as non-poor, while the rest were found to be near-poor and suffered from poverty. Food expenditure still dominated the total household expenditure and expenditure for personal hygiene was non-food expenditure that was considered quite high.

“…The government target of achieving 23% renewable energy mix in 2025 pushes Indonesia utilizing all potential resources including bioenergy. One of the potential resources is cassava, in which Indonesia as fourth largest cassava-producing country produces around 20 million tons cassava per year [1]. The cassava production in Indonesia is spread over several regions.…”

Indonesia is ranked fourth as the largest cassava producing country with a total production of around 20 million tons per year. As much as 15-20% per kilogram of cassava is waste in the form of cassava peel which contains starch and allows it to be converted into alternative energy such as bioethanol. The bioethanol production process is carried out through the stages of pretreatment (delignification) to obtain cellulose used in the hydrolysis process, hydrolysis, fermentation, and purification. This paper discussed the use of combined alkali and microwave heating methods to increase the cellulose content and reduce the lignin content of cassava peel. Delignification was carried out by varying the NaOH concentration of 0.5, 0.75, and 1 M and microwave exposure of 5, 10, and 15 min. The data of the pretreatment variation were statistically tested using a completely randomized design. The results shows that combined alkali and microwave heating methods was able to increase cellulose content from 39.78 to 59.01 %, decrease hemicellulose content from 24.75 to 12.79 %, and decrease lignin content from 23.28 to 14.66 %. The combination of 1 M NaOH and 15 min microwave exposure showed the best results.
