Factors That Influence Technical Efficiency of Organic Rice in Sumberngepoh Village, Lawang District, Malang Regency

Abstract

Abstract:The production and productivity of organic paddy tends to lower than non organic paddy. The constraints for production and productivity of organic paddy are the gap of transition period of conventional to organic farming and the huge influence of input usage. The technical efficiency concept is the suitable choice to determine the minimum input that farmer obtained to certain outputs. There are some factors that can influence farmers in decision making for using input. The purposes of this research were to analyze factors that influence the efficiency of organic paddy farming technique in Sumberngepoh Village. The research was conducted at Gapoktan (farmers group) "Sumber Mulyo" in Sumberngepoh Village, Lawang Sub District, Malang District with 45 samples of farmer. The data used in this research was data of farming during rainy season of 2016-2017. The data was analyzed by using Tobit regression. The result showed that the factors which influence and gave significantly positive towards farming efficiency technique were participation of field school, field control by farmers group, planting method and planting seasons.

High-Power Ultrasound (HPU) and Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) in the Hurdle Concept for the Preservation of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds in Strawberry Juice—A Chemometric Evaluation—Part II

“…Although the mechanism of action at the cellular level is still not reliably defined, the most common explanation of the mechanism is supported by the phenomenon of electroporation and electropermeability of the cell membrane, whereby membrane damage occurs with the formation of (i)reversible ruptures as a result of exposure to an external electric field [16,17]. PEF processing can also provide products with improved antioxidant properties [18]. For example, strawberry juice treated with PEF shows a retention of antioxidant capacity of 75% to 100% in comparison to untreated juice [19].…”

Correlation of the Influence of Management Factor and Farmer's Behavior in Technical Efficiency and Production Risk: A Case Study on Organic Rice Farming with Environmental Perspectives in Indonesia

“…However, efficiency studies using the stochastic frontier approach on organic rice farming are still very limited. Some researchers who examined the technical efficiency or production efficiency with the stochastic frontier approach on organic or semi-organic rice farming were conducted by Gultom et al (2014); Khairizal and Amin (2014); Murniati et al (2014); Riyardi et al (2017); Narendar et al (2018);Hidayati et al (2019); Sudrajat (2019a). Some researchers who examined cost efficiency with the stochastic frontier approach on organic rice and conventional rice farming were conducted by Ghosh and Raychaudhuri (2015); Ouedraogo (2015); Ajoma et al (2016); Rathnayake and Amaratunge (2016); Arifin et al (2018); Sudrajat et al (2018).…”
