Abstract

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.

Abstract

Integrated Crop Management (ICM) of maize has been disseminated since long time in all production centers in Indonesia, including Gorontalo. However, the application at the farmer level has not been optimal so that it has not yet expanded. This study aims to measure the  adoption rate of the components of maize ICM technology, and to identify socio-economic factors that affect the application of maize by farmers in Gorontalo District. The study was conducted on lowland dryland agro ecosystem in Tibawa Subdistrict and highland dryland agro ecosystem in Bongomeme Subdistrict, Gorontalo District. Site selection was done purposively with the consideration that the district  and sub-district were maize production centers, and had implemented various programs to increase maize production with the application of ICM from various government agencies. The survey was carried out in February-May 2015. The adoption rate of maize ICM component by respondents farmers used the weighting (score). Socio-economic factor analysis methods that influence the application of maize ICM using logistic regression model. The results showed that the accessibility of farmers to the supporting sources of farming such as capital (credit), market, and technology sources significantly affected the adoption of ICM technology. Steps that can be taken to improve farmers access to credit in formal financial institutions (banks) include providing flexible credit scheme, easy, not procedural, and not burdensome. Increased access of farmers to the source of technology can be done through increased frequency of extension, the implementation of technology dissemination that reaches more farmer groups and farmers.
