<strong>English</strong><br />Rice Production Enhancement Programs (P4) is consistently carried out by the government to meet domestic demand for rice. This paper describes dynamics of P4 implementation, namely their strengths and weaknesses. There were 11 programs launched, beginning with Central Rice Program (Padi Sentra) in 1958 up to Special Intensification (Insus) in 1979 with highest achievement of rice self sufficiency in 1984. Insus was improved in 1987 and it was then called as Supra Insus. In 1990 rice production was stagnant and rice import tended to enlarge. Rice Based Farming System with Agribusiness Orientation (SUTPA), Agribusiness Oriented Intensification (Inbis), and Self Reliance Movement on Rice, Corn, and Soybean (Gema Palagung) programs were introduced to anticipate changing domestic and international circumstances. El Nino took place when the programs were carried out triggering delay of harvest seasons and low production. At last, paradigm of agricultural development was improved through system development and agribusiness oriented, namely corporate farming as the starting point of on-going Integrated Crops and Resources Management (PTT) program. To induce the farmers nationwide to adopt technologies immediately the government copes with many constraints. It is suggested that the generated technologies are packed in sociodrama before disseminated intensively through various mass media, especially television.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Untuk mencukupi kebutuhan beras, pemerintah terus mengupayakan program peningkatan produksi padi (P4) melalui berbagai kebijakan. Tulisan ini mengemukakan dinamika P4 yang telah diimplementasikan dengan menganalisis kelemahan dan kekuatan suatu program. Tujuan penulisan untuk memperoleh opsi kebijakan P4 mendatang. Ada sebelas program yang telah diluncurkan, diawali dengan Program Padi Sentra (1958) hingga lahir Intensivikasi Khusus (1979) yang berhasil meraih swasembada beras (1984). Tahun 1987 Insus disempurnakan menjadi Supra Insus. Tahun 1990 produksi padi cenderung stagnan, import beras terus meningkat. Untuk merespon berbagai perubahan lingkungan internasional dan domesik diimplementasikan program Sistem Usahatani Berbasis Padi Berorientasi Agribisnis (SUTPA), Intensifikasi yang Berwawasan Agribisnis (Inbis) dan Gema Palagung. Saat program dalam implementasi terjadi El-Nino yang menyebabkan panen mundur dan produksi rendah. Akhirnya dilakukan pembenahan paradigma dalam pengembangan pertanian yaitu mutlak berbasis pengembangan sistem dan berorientasi agribisnis, yaitu usahatani korporasi yang selanjutnya menjadi dasar dalam program Pengelolaan Tanaman dan Sumberdaya Terpadu (PTT) yang sedang diuji. Selalu ditemukan kendala dalam menyebarluaskan teknologi yang telah dihasilkan dalam skala luas agar cepat diadopsi petani. Diusulkan agar teknologi yang telah dihasilkan dikemas dalam sosiodrama kemudian disebarluaskan secara intensif melalui berbagai media terutama televisi.

Rice is the staple food for Indonesian people and Indonesia was in self-sufficiency for rice in 1984. Based on the Agricultural Ministry’s Strategic Planning for 2015 – 2019, the government targeted that the self-sufficiency in rice in 2019 by 82,078 million tons of the rice production. It is better that the production is stochastically forecasted in form of the interval of projection possibility with the certain probability level. Therefore, the objective of this research is to know the growth of rice production and to stochastically forecast it. The data used in this research is the production of rice in the period of 1961 – 2015 obtained from the Food  and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Indonesia. The research data is analyzed by econometric method. The result revealed that the rice production would be 77,487 million tons in 2019 and it was 95% confidence interval would be between 74,901 and 80,071 million tons. The growth rate of the rice production in 2018 – 2020  would be 0.6 percent per year. We could conclude that the government target of the rice production was higher than the result of stochastic forecasting.Key words: forecast, paddy, production

Malaysia’s stance on food security is largely translated in terms of achieving self-sufficiency in rice production at about 65-70% of the local consumption. Since Malaysia does not have the comparative advantage in rice production, it implements a wide range of market interventions to achieve the intended level of rice production. The policy instruments include among others: guaranteed minimum price for paddy, price control, price and input subsidies and import monopoly. These interventionist instruments may not be sustainable in the long-term as they incur a high budgetary burden to the government, misallocation of resources and liberalization demand from WTO. The industry faces challenges in terms of land competition for urbanization and industrial uses and declining soil fertility due to heavy use of chemical fertilizer. This paper examines the influence of the fertilizer and the cash subsidies, as well as land conversion and fertility on the level of self-sufficiency in rice. A system dynamics model is applied to analyse the causal and feedback relationships of these variables in the paddy production system framework. The study shows that Malaysia may not be able to sustain the targeted self-sufficiency level without adequate R&D to address the production constraints particularly below-optimum productivity and the threats of climate change. The consumption of rice on the other hand continues to rise due to the increase in population.   Keywords: Paddy and rice, Malaysia, system dynamics, policy analysis.

<strong>English</strong><br />Based on typical agro-ecology and socio-economy conditions, Indonesian agriculture needs agricultural tools and machinery support with certain characteristics. The government has provided agricultural tools and machinery, especially in the last three years, although its success is limited. This paper is a scientific review discussing needs of agricultural tools and machinery for agricultural development, its implementation, and efforts to achieve effectiveness. Materials are compiled from various sources, both documentation of development planning, program reports, as well as the results of critical evaluation and analysis of various research results. The results show that development of agricultural tools and machinery in Indonesia requires a good mapping with respect to the needs and availability, as well as institutional efforts to increase its effectiveness. Use of agricultural tools and machinery can reduce farming costs and provide benefits for farmers and it contributes to food self-sufficiency. Agriculture mechanization has a good prospect if it is preceded by a mapping of needs and availability as well as an adequate institutional environment. Consequently, farm costs become lower and farming efficiency will improve. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Dengan kondisi agroekologis dan sosial ekonomi yang khas, pertanian Indonesia membutuhkan dukungan penggunaan alat dan mesin pertanian (Alsintan) dengan karakter tertentu. Pemerintah telah lama mengembangkan Alsintan, terutama tiga tahun terakhir, meskipun keberhasilannya masih terbatas. Tulisan ini merupakan review ilmiah (scientific review) yang membahas kebutuhan Alsintan untuk pembangunan pertanian, pelaksanaannya, serta upaya mencapai efektivitas penggunaannya secara optimal. Bahan disusun dari berbagai sumber baik dokumentasi perencanaan pembangunan, laporan program, maupun hasil evaluasi dan analisis kritis dari berbagai hasil penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan Alsintan di Indonesia membutuhkan pemetaan yang baik berkenaan dengan kebutuhan dan ketersediaannya, serta upaya kelembagaan untuk peningkatan efektivitasnya. Penggunaan Alsintan mampu menekan biaya usaha tani dan memberikan keuntungan bagi petani, sehingga mampu berkontribusi pada pencapaian swasembada pangan. Mekanisasi Pertanian mempunyai prospek yang baik kalau didahului dengan pemetaan kebutuhan dan ketersediaan serta langkah langkah kelembagaan (enabling institutional environment) yang memadai. Sebagai konsekuensinya biaya usaha tani dapat ditekan dan efisiensi usaha tani dapat diperbaiki.

Pengelolaan irigasi adalah salah satu faktor pendukung utama bagi keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian terutama dalam rangka peningkatan serta perluasan tujuan pembangunan pertanian dari program swasembada beras menjadi swasembada pangan. Pemerintah telah mencanangkan pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi, petani pemakai air sesuai dengan hakekat  pembangunan dari, oleh dan untuk masyarakat agar pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi tersebut dapat mencapai sasaran tepat guna. Adanya pergeseran nilai air, dari sumberdaya milik bersama (public goods) yang melimpah dan dapat dikonsumsi tanpa biaya, menjadi sumberdaya ekonomi (economic goods) yang mempunyai fungsi sosial; terjadinya kerawanan ketersediaan air secara nasional; adanya persaingan pemanfaatan air antara irigasi dengan penggunaan oleh sektor-sektor lain; dan konversi lahan beririgasi untuk kepentingan lainnya, memerlukan adanya kebijakan. Kebijakan pengelolaan irigasi yang efektif, sehingga keberlanjutan sistem irigasi dan hak-hak atas air bagi semua pengguna dapat terjamin. Mengingat irigasi tidak terlepas dari pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan, maka reformasi kebijakan dalam bidang keirigasian harus dilaksanakan secara simultan dan konsisten dengan reformasi pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan. Kata Kunci : isu, pembaharuan, irigasiIrrigation management is one of the main supporting factors for the success of agricultural development, especially in the context of increasing and expanding agricultural development goals from rice self-sufficiency to food self-sufficiency. that the Government has set out the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies, water user farmers in accordance with the nature of the development of, by and for the community that the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies can achieve effective targets. There is a shift in the value of water, from abundant public goods resources that can be consumed without cost, to economic resources that have social functions; the occurrence of national water availability insecurity; competition over water use between irrigation and use by other sectors; and conversion of irrigated land for other purposes, requires an effective irrigation management policy, so that the sustainability of the irrigation sistem and the rights to water for all users can be guaranteed. Since irrigation is inseparable from the overall management of water resources, policy reforms in the field of irrigation must be carried out simultaneously and consistently with reforms in the management of water resources as a whole. Keywords: issues, renewal, irrigation

How did Cuba’s long-established sugar trade result in the development of an agriculture that benefited consumers abroad at the dire expense of Cubans at home? In this history of Cuba, Louis A. Pérez proposes a new Cuban counterpoint: rice, a staple central to the island’s cuisine, and sugar, which dominated an export economy 150 years in the making. In the dynamic between the two, dependency on food imports—a signal feature of the Cuban economy—was set in place. Cuban efforts to diversify the economy through expanded rice production were met with keen resistance by U.S. rice producers, who were as reliant on the Cuban market as sugar growers were on the U.S. market. U.S. growers prepared to retaliate by cutting the sugar quota in a struggle to control Cuban rice markets. Pérez’s chronicle culminates in the 1950s, a period of deepening revolutionary tensions on the island, as U.S. rice producers and their allies in Congress clashed with Cuban producers supported by the government of Fulgencio Batista. U.S. interests prevailed—a success, Pérez argues, that contributed to undermining Batista’s capacity to govern. Cuba’s inability to develop self-sufficiency in rice production persists long after the triumph of the Cuban revolution. Cuba continues to import rice, but, in the face of the U.S. embargo, mainly from Asia. U.S. rice growers wait impatiently to recover the Cuban market.

The Malaysian government had targeted for the rice industry in the country to achieve 100% rice self-sufficiency where Malaysia’s rice self-sufficiency level (SSL) is currently at 65% to 75%. Thus, the government had implemented few policies to increase the rice production in Malaysia to meet the growing demand of rice. This paper focus on analyzing the impact of price subsidy on the rice production system in Malaysia using a system dynamics modelling approach. Scenario analysis was conducted using the developed system dynamics model by making changes on the price subsidy and observe the impact of the changes on the rice production and rice SSL. The developed system dynamics model offers better understanding of the effect of price subsidy on the rice self-sufficiency level. Based on the scenario analysis, the result shows that a 50% increase in the price subsidy leads to a substantial increase in demand as the rice price drops. Accordingly, the local production increases by 15%. However, the SSL slightly decreases as the local production is insufficient to meet the large demand.

Government efforts for agricultural development in order to increase economic growth in the current era of globalization aims to identify superior commodities that exist in the region. Thus, the government can increase competitiveness with other regions that produce the same commodity. The existence of superior commodities in an area reflects to agricultural resources  and economic potential that can be further developed to increase regional economic growth. The purpose of this study is to find what superior commodities to food crops are and to determine the growth rate of production of food crops in East Aceh Regency. This study used LQ (Location Quotient) analysis and Compounding Factor Growth Analysis. The scope of this research is limited to the production and planting area of food crops (rice, corn, soybeans, peanuts, green beans, cassava, sweet potatoes) in East Aceh Regency. The types of data in this study are secondary data with the type of data time series production and planting area of food crops in East Aceh Regency during from 2012 to 2016. There were 7 (seven) food crop commodities found in East Aceh Regency, two commodities that have advantages (LQ> 1), namely rice and soybeans. Both commodities are classified as superior commodities because they are influenced by factors in the amount of planting area and high production. The area of planting and production of the two commodities contributed to the planting area and production of the Aceh Province exceeding the contribution of the same planting area and production of commodities in other regions. For soybean commodities, the value of LQ obtained from the planting area is (1.59) and the production LQ is equal to (1.63). While the LQ rice planted area obtained is (1.01) and the production LQ is equal to (1.05). The average of the leading commodities that get the first rank are soybean commodities with an average LQ value of (1.59) and the second rank is rice commodities with an average LQ value of (1.05). In East Aceh District there were two leading commodity that have an average growth rate of production above the rate of growth of Aceh Province are soybeans with an average growth rate of production of (10.50). Whereas rice with an average production growth rate of (-2.88). The average growth rate of rice production in East Aceh Regency is below the average growth rate of rice production in Aceh Province.

The successes of development within an agricultural sector in a country should be reflected by the ability of food self-sufficiency, at least in the food security. Currently, the food security is not considerably sufficient to represent the identity of an agricultural country. Yet, the government also have difficulties to reach the target of food self-sufficiencies until they finally make some policies to achieve the aim. One of the policies is a food diversification program reflected in the Presidential Regulation of Indonesia No. 22 in 2009 that regulatesfood consumption diversification acceleration policy based on local resources. It is prepared to reduce the problems that appear recently because most of Indonesian use rice as their staple foods. Meanwhile, the rice production is unbalanced if compared with the level of consumer demands. In fact, if it is considered in terms of fulfillment, in addition to rice, there are still a lot of staple foods that can be developed. The aims of this research are: 1) Identifying the characteristics of respondents in Depok city. 2) Analyzing the influences of the cultural, social, personal, and motivation variables to the perception of non-rice food consumption societies in Depok city. 3). Analyzing the influences of the cultural, social, personal, and motivation variables simultaneously to the perception of non-rice food consumption societies in Depok city.

Rice self-sufficiency in Indonesia remains a national priority program since rice is a staple food of the majority of the population. This national program has become an economic development agenda in almost all local governments at the provincial and district levels. East Kalimantan Province is one of the provinces that set the rice self-sufficiency on the local medium-term planning (RPJMD) 2013-2018. This research generally aimed at analyzing the prospect of rice self-sufficiency in East Kalimantan Province. Specifically, the research aimed to measure the potential for developing rice in East Kalimantan Province and to analyze the production technical efficiency of rice farming. The data used in this research were national and provincial agriculture land area and 337 units of rice farm from Agricultural Census 2013. Using LQ (Location Quotient) method indicated that economically rice was not a basic commodity of East Kalimantan Province. At the provincial level, there were only two out of four districts that had rice as a basic commodity. Stochastic production frontier analysis showed that the technical efficiency of rice production was 0.64, which indicated that rice production in the province was 36 per cent below its production frontier. Planting patterns and land status significantly improved technical efficiency. From this research can be concluded that the self-sufficiency program in East Kalimantan Province was not supported by regional potential of rice production nor by technically efficient rice production at the farm level.
