Abstract

This study was conducted to analyse the economic efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations and the socioeconomic factors that affect them. The study area was purposively selected because it is the sub-district with the largest area of smallholder oil palm plantations in Padang Lawas Regency, with the largest area of smallholder oil palm plantations on the West Coast of North Sumatra Province. The study sample was determined using quota sampling, with 150 samples drawn from Aek Lancat Village and Pagaran Mompang Village, each with 75 samples. Data analysis methods used: Data Envelopment Analysis and Censored Tobit Regression Analysis for smallholder oil palm plantation management data for 2023. The results showed that the majority (85.33%) of smallholder oil palm plantations were not economically efficient, with an average economic efficiency value of 0.8789. Factors such as gender, farming experience, family size, type of seed used, distance from the farmer's residence to the input market, and experience in applying organic fertiliser significantly affected the economic efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations. Meanwhile, socioeconomic factors such as age, education, the number of productive oil palm plants cultivated, access to credit, experience in participating in farmer organisations, and farmers' experience in using information and technology facilities related to farming management have no significant effect on the economic efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations.

Abstract

The technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations is a reflection of the farmers' ability to coordinate the use of inputs to obtain the desired output. This study aims to determine the value of technical efficiency and factors that influence the technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations. The research area was determined purposively on the grounds that it is a sub-district area that has the largest area of smallholder oil palm plantations in Asahan Regency as the regency area that has the largest area of oil palm plantations in North Sumatra Province. The research sample was determined by quota sampling of 150 samples originating from two villages, namely Gonting Malaha Village and Padang Pulau Village, each with 75 samples. The data analysis method used Data Envelopment Analysis and Censored Tobit Regression Analysis for data on the management of smallholder oil palm plantations during 2023. From the results of the study, it was found that the majority (81.33%) of smallholder oil palm plantations were not technically efficient, with an average technical efficiency value of 0.9782. Factors that significantly influence technical efficiency are gender, age, farming experience, number of productive crops cultivated, distance from the farmer's residence to the input market, farmer experience applying organic fertilizer, experience participating in farmer organizations, and experience using information and technology facilities related to farm management. Meanwhile, factors such as education level, family size, type of seed used, and access to credit by farmers have no significant effect on technical efficiency.

Abstract

Prostate disease is a significant health concern affecting men, particularly those over 35 years old. This community service activity aimed to increase knowledge and awareness about prostate disease among the congregation of GMI Manna Helvetia Medan through health education. The methods included educational presentations, motivational sessions, and question-and-answer discussions. The activity was attended by 45 participants aged 35-70 years. Results showed improved participant understanding of prostate disease symptoms, risk factors, and the importance of early detection. About 70% of participants committed to undergo prostate examination within the next 6 months. The educational approach through church community proved effective in delivering sensitive health information and raising awareness about the importance of regular check-ups.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the technical efficiency value of smallholder oil palm plantations in Bandar Pasir Mandoge District and to identify the socio-economic factors that influence the technical efficiency of these plantations. The method of determining the area was purposive, specifically in Huta Padang Village and Huta Bagasan Village, Bandar Pasir Mandoge District, Asahan Regency. This sampling method employs simple random sampling. This research method employs the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to estimate technical efficiency, and also utilises Tobit regression to evaluate the factors that influence efficiency. The results of this study are: (1) The technical efficiency value of smallholder oil palm plantations in Bandar Pasir Mandoge District based on the CRS assumption is 0.929, the technical efficiency value based on the VRS assumption is 0.941, the technical efficiency value SE is 0.987 which means that from the three variables, farmers are still not said to be efficient. The dominant production scale is in the IRS. The average input reduction is based on the CRS assumption (2) Socio-economic factors that significantly influence the technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations in Bandar Pasir Mandoge District are education, farming experience and application of organic fertiliser. Socio-economic factors that have an insignificant influence on the technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations in Bandar Pasir Mandoge District include gender, number of family members, distance to the PKS, and access to credit.

Abstract

Agrotourism is a series of tourism activities that develop agricultural activities as the main target of tourism. Agritourism covers various aspects of agriculture, including natural landscapes, agricultural activities, diversity in agricultural production, agricultural technology, and agricultural customs prevailing. The research purpose was to analyze and identify internal and external factors and develop appropriate strategies for orange self-picking agrotourism. The research was carried out in orange self-picked agrotourism in Merek District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province purposively. The research sample was 40 samples. Data analysis was carried out using the IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation), EFE (External Factor Evaluation) matrix, SWOT matrix, and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Processes). The research results determined the 12 internal factors and 12 external factors. In addition, there were 13 strategies for developing the orange self-picking agrotourism.

Abstract. Simatupang J, Siregar MA, Sibuea MB. 2025. Gender-based technical efficiency analysis of smallholder palm oil plantations in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Asian J Agric 9: 766-776. The productivity of smallholder palm oil plantations, managed by both male and female farmers, has recently been low due to inefficient allocation of inputs. Previous efficiency literature in Indonesia has not focused on examining differences in technical efficiency between the two genders of smallholder household heads and has used parametric methods. This study examines which oil palm farming is more efficient based on gender and the determinants of technical efficiency of smallholder farmers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. North Sumatra is a key region for palm oil production in Indonesia, and understanding the efficiency of smallholder farmers in this region can provide valuable insights for the entire industry. Input-output and socio-economic data on palm oil production activities in 2023 were collected from 273 male smallholders and 177 female smallholders. We employed Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess technical efficiency. We employed the Tobit model to examine the influence of socio-economic factors on the technical efficiency of smallholder farmers in the study area. We found that female smallholders are more efficient than male smallholders. However, inefficient female smallholders must reduce inputs to make their farming efficient. This study highlights the crucial role of access to credit, ICT, and farmer groups in technical efficiency. Government policies are expected to lower interest rates, simplify credit application requirements, develop extensive ICT infrastructure in smallholder plantations, and assist with access to capital and information dissemination within farmer groups. Government intervention is expected to improve the technical efficiency and economic sustainability of smallholder oil palm plantations in North Sumatra.
