This study aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in productivity between organic and inorganic rice farming, whether there is a significant difference in technical efficiency between organic nd inorganic rice farming, and whether fertilizer costs, labor costs, arable land area, and the length of the use of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) have a significant effect on the organic rice production. The target of this research is the improvement of economic efficiency and organic rice farming productivity in Purworejo District, Central Java. To achieve this target, this study used SRI method. The population was all farmers of inorganic and organic rice farming in Purworejo District. The samples consist of 45 people from organic rice farmers and 45 people from inorganic rice farmers in Ringgit Village, Purworejo. They were collected by random sampling and the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis. Descriptive analysis was done by comparing all necesary activities in both organic and inorganic rice farming. The descriptive analysis concludes that there is a difference in terms of the selection of seeds, seedlings, seed treatment before sowing, planting and watering, fertilizing, weeding and pest control. Quantitative analysis is done using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regeresi. The quantitative analysis concludes that there is a significant difference in productivity between organic rice farming and inorganic rice farming. There is a significant difference in technical efficiency between organic rice farming and inorganic rice farming. Fertilizer costs, labor costs, arable land area, and the length of the use of SRI method have a significant effect on the organic rice production.

AbstractOrganic rice farming (ORF) is getting more attention from many parties because conventional rice farming (CRF) has environmental issues and because people’s awareness of healthy food is increasing. The social, economical, and environmental challenges make ORF a potential path forward. This study aims to understand farmers’ responses to ORF. Data were collected through interviews with 37 respondents from Central Java and 67 respondents from South Sulawesi. The respondents, chosen randomly, represented 40.38% CRF farmers and 59.62% ORF farmers. A mean was used to present the difference between CRF and ORF farmers’ responses in each variable. Multiple linear regression was used to describe the factors affecting these responses. Results showed that ORF farmers’ mean on all response variables was higher than CRF farmers’, except market opportunity (MKOP), which showed only a slight difference in means at 4.357 (CRF) and 4.371 (ORF). MKOP is the one area of trust for both CRF and ORF farmers. Both responses from CRF and ORF farmers have value for use by stakeholders to develop Indonesian ORF.

<p>The development of organic agriculture is significant both at local, national, regional, and global in the last two decades and organic farming has matured enough to offer lesson. In the process, these developments characterized by a variety of internal and external conflicts such as conflict of interest, the data conflicts, resource conflicts, and structural conflicts. Products from various conflicts between the actors who are related, ultimately forming institutional arrangements. This study aims to explain the mechanisms that made the actors involved in organic farming in managing conflicts by placing community as an important actor. This study uses a constructivist paradigm that seeks to understand the meaning construction management of conflicts of various actors. The study was conducted in three locations namely Tasikmalaya District, West Java, Boyolali, Central Java, and Malang in East Java. Conflict management model that has been built by the institutional organic farming in Tasikmalaya, Boyolali, and Malang a lesson learned for other lowland rice farming locations that could potentially be the location of the development of organic rice. In the development phase, while this institutional organic farming that have been built are encouraged to ensure food security where production is not only oriented to meet export demand, but also meet the needs of organic food at the local and national levels.<br />Keywords: conflict management, organic farming, sustainability, food security</p><p><strong>ABSTRAK</strong><br />Perkembangan pertanian organik cukup signifikan baik di level lokal, nasional, regional, maupun global dalam dua dekade terakhir ini dan organic farming has matured enough to offer lesson. Pada prosesnya, perkembangan tersebut diwarnai oleh beragam konflik baik internal maupun eksternal berupa konflik kepentingan, konflik data, konflik sumber daya, maupun konflik struktural. Produk dari beragam konflik diantara aktor-aktor yang terkait tersebut, pada akhirnya membentuk aturan-aturan kelembagaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan mekanisme yang dilakukan para aktor yang terlibat dalam pertanian organik dalam melakukan manajemen konflik dengan menempatkan komunitas sebagai aktor penting. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma konstruktivis yang berupaya untuk memahami konstruksi makna manajemen konflik dari berbagai aktor. Penelitian dilakukan di tiga lokasi yaitu Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Jawa Barat, Kabupaten Boyolali Jawa Tengah, dan Kabupaten Malang Jawa Timur. Model manajemen konflik yang telah dibangun oleh kelembagaan pertanian organik di Tasikmalaya, Boyolali, dan Malang menjadi pembelajaran bagi lokasi pertanian padi sawah lainnya yang berpotensi menjadi lokasi pengembangan padi organik. Pada fase pengembangan sementara ini, kelembagaan pertanian organik yang berhasil dibangun didorong untuk menjamin ketahanan pangan dimana produksi bukan hanya diorientasikan untuk memenuhi permintaan ekspor namun juga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pangan organik di tingkat lokal dan nasional.<br />Kata kunci: manajemen konflik, pertanian organik, keberlanjutan, ketahanan pangan</p>

Rice is the staple food of Indonesian people. In 2014, its production was less than its need including its losses. Therefore, during 2015-2020, in order to increase the production through increasing its yield and its cropping intensity, the Ministry of Agriculture had been implementing the program of Upaya Khusus, called Upsus. The Upsus could be success if the farmers who participated in this program spent less the rice standard cost and obtained bigger profit. The question was whether the Upsus could increase yield, decrease standard cost and increase profit. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to answer this question. There were 30 respondents chosen by the simple random sampling method from six villages of three subdistricts. Each respondent was interviewed his farming budget in four seasons, i.e. rainy season 2014/2015, dry season 2015, rainy season 2017/2018, and dry season 2018. Consequently, the number of observation was 120. The data farming budget were used for getting the three following variables, i.e. yield (ton/ha), production standard cost (Rp/kg), and profit (Rp million/ha). The data were analyzed by using three multiple regression models. This study revealed that the Upsus was statistically significant on increasing its yield, decreasing its standard cost and increasing its profit. By implementing the Upsus, the increment in yield and profit of rice farming were 3 percent and 30 percent, respectively. The decrease in standard cost was 6 percent. The average yield, the standard cost and the profit of rice farming in Upsus were as follows 5,20 ton/ha, Rp4.154,-/kg and Rp6,82 million/haKeywords: profit, standard cost, upsus, yield
