Analisis Produksi dan Efisiensi Usahatani Padi di Kabupaten Banjar

Abstract

Research of production and efficiency of wetland rice farming was done in non-irrigated and irrigated land in Gambut and Sungai Tabuk, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. Selection of sites was intentionally set (purposive sampling) with consideration that the sites was the center of rice production. The study lasted from Feruary to April 2010. The study aims are to determine the productivity and efficiency in the use of production factors. To analyze the factors affecting the production, multiple linear regressions was used, followed by a test of allocative efficiency. The result of production function analysis showed that the width of land, the amount of urea, KCL, and ponska, have positive effect on irrigated rice production. Increasing production can be achieved by adding those factors. Allocative efficiency test results also showed that the seeds, urea, KCL and ponska were not efficient to use, yet. As to get maximum production, farmers need to increase the use of those four factors.
