Efisiensi Teknis Usaha Tani Padi Pada Sistem Tanam Jajar Legowo Di Kabupaten Lamongan, Provinsi Jawa Timur

Abstract

Jajar Legowo planting system is one of the most recent technological innovation breakthroughs promoted by the Indonesian Government to increase rice farming productivity. Lamongan Regency, as a rice producing center in East Java Province, is one of the government's targets in developing jajar legowo planting system. However, this technology is still not yet widely implemented by farmers. The existence of new technology is thought to affect the level of technical efficiency of farmers because it can affect the managerial aspects of farmers. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of technical efficiency of rice farming in the jajar legowo planting system and to find out what factors influence the level of technical efficiency of rice farming in Lamongan Regency. The study was conducted using the stochastic frontier method. The results showed that the jajar legowo rice farming system had a higher average value of technical efficiency compared to conventional rice farming. Rice farming with a jajar legowo planting system had an average technical efficiency level of 0.95, while conventional rice farming had an average technical efficiency level of 0.80. There were four variables that had significant effects on the level of technical efficiency of rice farming, namely age, farming experience, land status, and type of planting technology used by farmers (Jarwo or conventional). It is recommended that training and extension be conducted routinely so that farmers are motivated to implement the jajar legowo planting system.

“…On the other hand, a positive sign on the inefficiency parameter of the frontier processing results indicates that the variable increases technical inefficiency or means decreasing technical efficiency (Nahraeni, 2012). Cendrawasih et al (2018) confirmed the same thing, namely that the variable has a negative sign which indicates that the variable has a positive effect in increasing the level of technical efficiency.…”

“…Then, another empirical fact, Saketa et al (2018); Usman & Juliyani (2018) in their study revealed that land area affects the amount of rice production, so that the addition of arable land area is always accompanied by an increase in rice production. This implies that the land area factor should be a major concern for the government in order to boost rice production (Cendrawasih et al, 2019). Furthermore, in Table 2 it can also be seen that the Seed Variable also has a significant positive effect on rice production with a regression coefficient of 0.238.…”

Analysis of the Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Rice Farming Efficiency Level: An Empirical Study in Central Java Province, Indonesia

“…Therefore, there should be a specific measure of efficiency, namely the maximum ability to produce output using certain inputs and technology levels (Iqbal, 2019). One of the methods commonly used to measure efficiency is the frontier production function approach (Cendrawasih et al, 2018) (Wang, 2019). It is a function that describes the maximum output that can be achieved from each level of input use (Coelli et al, 1998).…”
