Abstract

The growth of productivity (yield) will be the major source of rice production in the next some few years to come. However, the development of rice productivity is facing the limited government budgets and the continuation of the conversion of land function. Therefore, the rice farming need to be conducted more efficiently. It means that the management skills of farmers need to be improved. The objective of the study is to estimate the levels of efficiency of rice farming in Kediri and Nganjuk of East Java Province and to see its distribution among farmers, using stochastic frontier production function. The results of the study are expected to help the policy makers in designing and improving the agricultural extension strategy. Keywords: efficiency, productivity, stochastic frontier production function, management skills.

Abstract

Corn has important roles to Indonesian economy both for staple foods and for price transmission to other products. The high domestic demand for corn compared to its domestic production has made corn imports continue to grow. This research is aimed to know the elasticity of price transmission and its implication to corn’s farmers. The results of analysis show that corn price transmission is inelastic. The coefficient shows that corn market is oligopsony under the imperfect competition market. To help the corn farmers, the government has to provide fertilizer subsidy and farm credit with low interest rates, as well as impose import tariff on corn.
