Efisiensi Teknis Penggunaan Input Produksi Pada Usahatani Sawi (Kasus Desa Baumata, Timur Kecamatan Taebenu Kabupaten Kupang, NTT)

This study aims (1) to analyze the influence of the use of production factors on the amount of mustard production; (2) to analyze the technical efficiency of the use of production inputs in mustard farming in the research area; and (3) to analyze the feasibility of mustard farming in the research area. Determination of the sample of respondent farmers using the method of saturated samples because the members of the population is small (41 people). So the number of respondents was as many as 41 farmers. The results showed that the use of land area input (x1), seeds (x2), organic fertilizers (x3), inorganic fertilizers (x4), pesticides (x5), and labor (X6) simultaneously had a significant effect on mustard production (α=0.05), as evidenced by the value of F-stat of 441,015 greater than F table of 2.49. Partially the production factor that has a very significant effect (α=0.01) on the increase in mustard production is the land with a regression coefficient of 0.082 and a t-stat value of 8,396, seeds have a real effect (α0.05) on mustard production with a regression coefficient value of 0.082 and a t count value of 3,075 and inorganic fertilizers have a noticeable effect (α=0.10) on mustard production with a regression coefficient value of 0.065 and a t stat value of 2.125. While other production factors, namely organic fertilizers, pesticides and labor have no real effect on the production of mustard at the research site. The Coefficient of Determination (R2) obtained a value of 0.994 which means that 99,4% of the dependent variable was expamimed by the independent variables while the remaining 0.6% is explained by other variables that are not included in the model. The use of production factors such as land area, seeds, organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers and labor in mustard farming was technically efficient, because the value of b > 0. This can be seen from the coefficient of regression of each variable, namely land area (0.395), seeds (0.082), organic fertilizers (0.079), inorganic fertilizers (0.395) and labor (0.002). While the pesticide input production in mustard farming is technically inefficient, because the value of b < 0. This can be seen from the value of pesticide regression coefficient of -0.035. Mustard farming at the research site provides relative profit with the value of R /C Ratio > 1 (R/C= 3.65) so that mustard farming is feasible to be cultivated.

Risiko Pendapatan Usahatani Padi Sawah (Kasus Desa Noelbaki, Kecamatan Kupang Tengah, Kabupaten Kupang, NTT)

Farming is one of the industries most susceptible to risk and unpredictability in terms of results and profitability. In Noelbaki Village, Central Kupang, Kupang. This study intends to examine income, income risk, and factors that influence lowland rice farming income risk. To identify 46 respondents, the sample was determined using a basic random sampling procedure. Primary data was acquired through interviews and a questionnaire for this study. The income function model's input-output methodology, coefficient of variation (CV), and residual squared are used in data analysis. The average value of income in lowland rice cultivation per hectare each growing season was Rp. 28,374,581,-/ha/MT, according to the findings. The CV score of 3.26 percent indicates the average amount of income risk in lowland rice growing. Land area, fertilizers, insecticides, and UPT are elements that minimize income risk, whereas seeds raise income risk. Because seeds dictate the quality of plant development, whereas other production elements may be regulated by farmers, this suggests that seeds are a determinant of income risk. Farmers must pay attention to seed quality if rice growing is to stay risk-free.
