Cocoa has been developed in various regions in Indonesia. In developing cocoa farming, farmers still face the problem of low productivity, efficiency and quality of seeds. This is partly due to not using the right fertilizer. This study aims to analyze the effect of NPK Lodrin fertilizer use on the efficiency and income of cocoa farming in Gorontalo. The study was conducted in several Gorontalo cocoa production centers, namely in Gorontalo District and Pohuwato District in 2016. Data collection was conducted by survey method with questionnaires or structured questionnaires for 59 cocoa farmers. Respondents were farmers who used Lodrin NPK fertilizer and farmers who did not use Lodrin NPK fertilizer. The selection of respondents was carried out by stratified random sampling technique. The farming efficiency analysis method uses the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function model. Financial farming analysis was carried out to determine the level of cocoa farming income with the use of Lodrin NPK fertilizer. The results showed that the use of Lodrin NPK fertilizer significantly affected the increase in production, efficiency and income of cocoa farming in Gorontalo. The average level of farm efficiency both technical, allocative and economic efficiency of cocoa farmers using Lodrin NPK fertilizer is higher when compared to farmers who do not use Lodrin NPK fertilizer. The factors that influence the inefficiency of cocoa farming are farmer education and institutional factors, namely the frequency of counseling, participation in farmer groups, access to credit and technology assistance. The use of Lodrin NPK fertilizer increases the income of cocoa farming, as evidenced by the value of the R / C ratio and the value of return for higher production factors of farmers who use Lodrin NPK fertilizer.

Technology Gap Ratio

The study analysed the technical efficiency and technology gap ratio in cocoa production in Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 390 cocoa farmers from three zones where cocoa is commercially grown in Nigeria. Separate stochastic frontier models were estimated for farmers in Kwara, Edo and Ondo States, along with a metafrontier model to obtain alternative estimates for the technical efficiencies of farmers in the different states. Subsequently, a Tobit model was used to access the factors influencing cocoa production in the study area. Results revealed that, the average technical efficiency level was 0.685 for the pooled sample, 0.506, 0.837 and 0.713 for Kwara, Edo and Ondo States respectively, suggesting that there is substantial scope to improve cocoa production in Nigeria. The mean MTR values of 0.506, 0.837 and 0.712 for Kwara, Edo and Ondo States respectively, implied that Edo State was more technically efficient than other states in the study area.  The mean technology gap ratio (TGR) value of 84.3% indicated that, on the average, the cocoa farmers in the study areas would have to close a gap of about 15.7% in order for them to be technically efficient. The study recommended that cocoa farmers in Edo and Ondo States could improve their technical efficiency through a better management using the available technologies and resources while intervention to raise technology that will help close the gap between the regional frontier curve and the global frontier curve through raising and distributing disease resistant and high yielding cocoa seedlings to the farmers should be adopted in Kwara State.

This study examined the socio-economic characteristics of registered cocoa farmers in Edo State; Nigeria. Primary data was collected using a well structured questionnaire administered to 180 registered cocoa farmers selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and budgetary technique. Results showed that 88.9% of cocoa farmers were male with a mean range of 46 years with 75% being married and 88.8% having formal education. The budgetary technique was used to determine the profitability of cocoa production, which was found to be profitable in the study area at a gross margin of N66, 350, Net Farm Income of N59, 200, and net return on investment of N 1.11.The Benefit Cost Ratio and Expense Structure Ratio of 2.11 and 0.12 respectively indicated that cocoa production was economically profitable and viable since the BCR is greater than 1 and the Gross Ratio (GR) of cocoa production is 0.47. From these profitability ratios, it shows that cocoa production is a profitable business in the study area. Inadequate finance to operate on large scale was found to be the major constraint to the cocoa farmers in the study area. The study concludes that cocoa production is profitable and was recommended that production could be improved and sustained through provision of soft loans to the farmers.Keywords: socio-economics, characteristics, registered cocoa farmers

This study analyzes the technical efficiency and production risk of 862 maize farmers in major maize producing regions of Ethiopia. It employs the stochastic frontier approach (SFA) to estimate the level of technical efficiencies of stallholder farmers. The stochastic frontier approach (SFA) uses flexible risk properties to account for production risk. Thus, maize production variability is assessed from two perspectives, the production risk and the technical efficiency. The study also attempts to determine the socio-economic and farm characteristics that influence technical efficiency of maize production in the study area. The findings of the study showed the existence of both production risk and technical inefficiency in maize production process. Input variables (amounts per hectare) such as fertilizer and labor positively influence maize output. The findings also show that farms in the study area exhibit decreasing returns to scale. Fertilizer and ox plough days reduce output risk while labor and improved seed increase output risk. The mean technical efficiency for maize farms is 48 percent. This study concludes that production risk and technical inefficiency prevents the maize farmers from realizing their frontier output. The best factors that improve the efficiency of the maize farmers in the study area include: frequency of extension contact, access to credit and use of intercropping. It was also realized that altitude and terracing in maize farms had influence on farmer efficiency.

Broiler Production

The study assessed the effect of contract farming on broiler production in Osun State, Nigeria. 120 farmers comprising of broiler farmers participating and not participating in contract farming were selected using multistage sampling technique. Information was elicited from the farmers with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Stochastic Production Frontier and Ordinary least square regression model. The findings of this study revealed that majority (75%) of the farmers rated the activities of contracting farming to be good and favorable, as the contract farmers earn more from broiler production than their counterparts. Average technical efficiency of the contract and non contract farmers were 0.8209 and 0.6803, respectively. The results also revealed that years of experience in broiler production, education of farmer, off-farm income, membership in farmers association, access to credit, access to veterinary services and participation in contract farming significantly affected technical efficiency of broiler farmers in the study area. Therefore, the study recommends that there should be increase in the awareness of the benefits associated with contract farming in agrarian communities, so that more farmers are encouraged to participate, as this will improve their production efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the process of procuring production facilities in accordance with the right six (on time, place, quality, quantity, type, and price), farm performance, the marketing efficiency of the agribusiness system, and the supporting institutions for ornamental flower agribusiness systems at Lampung. This study uses a survey method conducted in the city of Bandar Lampung, namely in Gunung Terang, Gunung Agung and in the Way Halim Permai. Sampling in this study was sixteen respondents taken using a quota sampling technique. Data collection was carried out in September - October 2019. The results showed that the procurement of production facilities of ornamental flower plant farming had fulfilled the right six. Ornamental flower farming in Bandar Lampung is feasible to be cultivated because in farming it has an R / C ratio> 1, that is, the R / C over the total cost of 1.70 of adenium flowers, 2.00 of orchids, and 1.60 of roses. The three ornamental flower plants studied have a profit margin ratio of more than 1 which is 1.41 of the adenium flower, 1.80 of the orchid flower, and 1.81 of the rose flower, which means that the ornamental flower farmers in Bandar Lampung receives profits and no loss. Supporting institutions in the flower plant agribusiness system at the research location are financial institutions, namely banks as financing and borrowing funds, government policies, and transportation. All these supporting institutions are available but have not been used optimally by farmers.Key words: agribusiness system, R/C, profit margin ratio
