“…This suggests that about 91.3 per cent of rubber smallholders were technically inefficient. Compared to other countries, this mean that the technical efficiency of smallholders in Indonesia under VRS is still comparable with the technical efficiency of rubber smallholders in Thailand (TEVRS = 0.85) [23]. However, it is still lower than the technical efficiency of rubber smallholders in Malaysia (TEVRS = 0.95) [24].…”

the productivity of smallholders' rubber is lower than the productivity of private and government estates. The productivity of Indonesian smallholders' rubber can be enhanced through intensification or technology improvement. The main objective of this study is to estimate the technical efficiency level and technical inefficiency effect model of smallholder's rubber in South Sumatra. A survey was conducted from November 2016 to March 2017 in 11 districts in the South Sumatra Province. 384 rubber farmers were selected using a combination of purposive, multi-stage and random sampling techniques. This study employed a nonparametric approach (Two-stage DEA) using cross-sectional data to understand the rubber production process. The findings showed that the mean technical efficiency of the sampled farms under the VRS DEA was estimated at 0.80. However, the mean technical efficiency was still less than 0.82, indicating that on average, the sampled farms were not technically efficient. Tobit regression results showed that all of the determinants have the expected signs (negative) in relation to technical inefficiency, thus implying that these factors increase technical efficiency as expected. However, only two of the determinants, farming experience and tapping system were statistically significant to the level of technical efficiency.Contribution/ Originality: Low productivity has been a primary issue for Indonesian smallholders' rubber.The best effort to improve rubber productivity is by managing resources more efficiently. This paper contributes to the study production efficiency of smallholders' rubber in Indonesia by employing the two-stage DEA analysis.

This study explores ways to make Thai durian production more competitive, concentrating on sustainable practices and difficulties experienced by durian growers. Multiple techniques were used. A thorough grasp of the market dynamics was gathered through in-depth interviews with 30 industry stakeholders, including durian producers, exporters, distributors, government officials, and industry professionals. 200 responders from 14 southern regions of Thailand, where durian production is crucial because of traditional farming practices and a favourable climate. Examining quality control practises, distribution effectiveness and sustainable farming methods revealed areas that might be improved to increase industry competitiveness. The study also revealed difficulties, including losses from post-harvest handling, barriers to entry into the market, regulatory limits, and inconsistent quality. The study also examined consumer preferences for sustainable products and their willingness to pay more. The findings reveal a sustainably produced durian goods market since they show an increasing consumer trend towards eco-friendly alternatives. Future recommendations call for incorporating technology into the supply chain, doing in-depth customer preference research, conducting a comparative analysis, and conducting long-term evaluations of sustainable practices. Policymakers, businesspeople, and researchers working to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the Thai durian industry will find this study helpful.

“…Pada penelitian ini luas kebun yang disadap tidak disertai dengan konsistensi jumlah pohon per hektar. Dengan kata lain, luas kebun yang dikelola tidak mencerminkan jumlah pohon per hektar yang ideal sehingga produksi yang diperoleh tidak berkorelasi positif dengan luas kebun (Viswanathan, 2012& Parichatnon et al, 2017. Hasil pengamatan di kebun petani menunjukkan bahwa teknik penyadapan yang sembarangan menyebabkan produksi tidak berkorelasi positif dengan jumlah pohon yang disadap pada setiap hari sadap.…”

Tebal kulit disadap, kedalaman sadap, panjang alur sadap, frekuensi sadap, dan waktu sadap harus dipertimbangkan dalam penyadapan pohon karet. Perencanaan penggunaan bidang sadap penting untuk menjamin periode sadap yang panjang, lebih dari 25 tahun. Pada perkebunan karet rakyat hal tersebut tidak dianut. Oleh karena itu, penyuluhan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan petani diperlukan. Penelitian ini menyajikan aspek agronomi perkebunan karet rakyat yang menunjukkan rendahnya produksi dan beberapa aspek penyuluhan yang diperlukan petani karet. Penelitian dilakukan melalui survei dan tanya jawab pada Juni-Juli 2019 di Desa Sari Laba Jahe, Kecamatan Biru-Biru, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Kelompok yang disurvei adalah Kelompok Tani Mekar Tani yang beranggota 30 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengamatan kebun karet masing-masing petani dan tanya jawab untuk memperoleh data serta informasi, berkaitan dengan aspek agronomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa petani karet belum menghasilkan produksi ideal, 26,67% petani menghasilkan kurang dari 25 g per pohon per sadap. Sebanyak 17 petani mengelola kebun seluas kurang dari 1 ha dan 1-1,5 ha mengelola kurang dari 500 pohon per ha. Sebanyak 46% petani berpendapat bahwa masalah yang dihadapi dalam mengelola kebun karetnya adalah penyakit jamur akar putih (JAP).
