EFFICIENCY PRODUCTION OF RICE FIELD IN PUJUNGAN VILLAGE USING THE STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH

Abstract

Regional Rice Self-Sufficiency (RASDA) is one of the Government's programs in Malinau District to meet the food needs of the people of Malinau Regency in the border region which is far from food access from other regions. Increased productivity is expected to meet the needs of rice, especially in the village where the study. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the cultivation of rice field in Pujungan Village and also to determine the level of efficiency of the use of production factors. This research method was carried out in Pujungan Village, Pujungan District, Malinau District. The method of determining the sample is carried out by census with 72 farmers as farmers. Analysis of the data used to determine the efficiency lefel is through the Stochastic Frontier approach model by estimating Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The results showed that the variable area of land, seeds, herbicides, and labor had a significant positive and significant effect on α = 1 percent and 5 percent of upland rice production. The scale of farming is in the condition of increasing return to scale (CTRS = 1.616). indicates that farmers in Pujungan Village can still rearrange the allocation of the use of production factors in the field rice farming. The average efficiency level that has been achieved is 0.59. This shows that the level of efficiency of farmer in the village of Pujungan is still not efficient because the average level of production efficiency is less than 0.7 (ET ≥ 0.7). frontier). There is still a 23.6 percent chance to increase the production of paddy farmers.
