“…This finding in line with the previous study by Oyewole et al, (2020), Kudama et al (2020) and Rahman et al, (2022) . In the context of Indonesia similar finding also ponted out by Syafrial et al, (2021) who highlight the important role of farmers' education level on variery adoption. The third predictor, Off-farm, has a positive coefficient but it is not statistically significant (, indicating that off-farm activities do not have a significant effect on bioguma adoption.…”

Objective: The study delves into the technical efficiency of sorghum cultivation and evaluates the effects of the adoption of the new superior variety on the efficiency of farmers. Methods: The research employs a methodology that involves the use of stochastic frontier analysis and propensity score matching to examine cross-sectional data obtained from a sample of 150 farmers located in Lamongan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Results: The findings indicate that sorghum farmers exhibit suboptimal levels of technical efficiency. The adoption of the bioguma variety has a positive impact on the technical efficiency of farmers. Farmers who choose to implement bioguma demonstrate superior levels of efficiency in comparison to their counterparts who utilize alternative varieties. Suggestions: The study suggests that policymakers should take steps to enhance access to high-quality seeds and encourage farmers to adopt improved varieties. This can be accomplished through measures such as targeted subsidies, favorable credit schemes, or collaborations with seed companies to ensure the availability and affordability of the bioguma variety.

The application of the latest technological innovations has been promoted worldwide to increase farm productivity, including in salt farming. This research aims to determine the determinants of adoption decisions for salt production technology called geomembrane and estimate the adoption impact on technical efficiency. The data in this study is cross-sectional from 215 small-scale salt farmers on Madura Island, East Java, Indonesia. The data was analyzed using logistic regression to identify which factors influenced farmers’ decisions to use geomembrane. The influence of adoption on farmers' technical efficiency was then assessed using propensity score matching (PSM) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The findings indicate that age and the dummy variables of gender, land ownership, profit-sharing involvement, and membership in the People's Salt Business Group (KUGAR) all had a significant impact on adoption rates. The findings of controlling matched samples using the PSM process reveal that geomembrane application improves and greatly increases farmers' technical efficiency. Those who used geomembranes displayed greater technical efficiency than those who did not. These findings imply that salt production technology should be promoted more to increase productivity, especially geomembrane adoption, through outreach and dissemination of information, including for landowners involved in the profit-sharing system.

“…The technical efficiency in the research areas varies because each location has different input capabilities to produce different outputs. If each research location is analysed separately, the value of technical efficiency cannot be compared regionally because each region has different technologies (Syafrial, Rahman, & Retnoningsih, 2021) and environments, specifically, resources and climatic conditions (Rahman et al, 2022b;Rahman, Huang, Toiba, & Efani, 2022a). The efficiency value does not capture the different technical efficiency levels between regions caused by differences in the production inputs' environment (resources and technology).…”

Indonesia's population and income growth have led to a higher demand for raw sugar and its derivative products; for this reason, sugarcane production must be improved, especially in central production areas. However, efforts are constrained by the disparity in resource endowment and technology. This study aimed to analyse technical, technological, and managerial gaps in sugarcane farming in different areas of East Java. The study used primary data collected through a survey during the 2019/2020 sugarcane planting season in Malang, Kediri, and Mojokerto Regencies. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on inputs and outputs. A meta-frontier data envelopment analysis (meta-DEA) approach was used to measure the technical efficiency of sugarcane farming in each research area. The decomposition using meta-DEA showed that, on average, the meta-technical inefficiency of sugarcane farmers was caused mainly by managerial gaps, as the average managerial gap inefficiency (MGI) was more significant than the technological gap inefficiency (TGI). Malang regency showed the largest TGI and MGI, indicating that sugarcane farmers in Malang regency have lower managerial skills for decision-making and a lower level of production technology compared to the other two regions. Based on the findings of this study, the government should improve technological innovation to mitigate the technology gap that was found in our research location.
