Abstract

Since the use of threshers in post harvest operation has shown promise of providing higher technical as well as allocative efficiency, this study was focused primarily on how such a device could be adopted and diffused more rapidly in response to the government's emphasis on rice quality improvement. Not only was this study interested in farmer's constraints to adopt such a technology, but it also investigated the role of innovating agents as well as the institutional nature of rural labor relation in the adoption process. The former has been analyzed by fitting logistic regression procedure towards data of 75 farmers in six villages while the latter is presented in the form of comparison between West Sumatera and Java.

Abstract

IndonesianAnalisa fungsi produksi frontier terhadap data yang diperoleh dari 63 petani padi di dua desa dataran rendah pantai utara Jawa Barat menunjukkan bahwa variasi efisiensi teknis produksi padi sangat besar. Dengan keterbatasan data yang tersedia, determinan efisiensinya juga ditelaah dalam tulisan ini. Curahan jam kerja di luar usahatani, baik di dalam maupun di luar sektor pertanian, serta umur petani ternyata tidak berpengaruh negatif terhadap efisiensi teknis sedangkan keikutsertaan petani dalam program intensifikasi berpengaruh sangat positif terhadap efisiensi itu. Determinan yang lain masih perlu diteliti lebih lanjut.EnglishThe use of frontier production function towards data gathered from 63 rice farmers in two northern coastal plain villages of West Java indicates that technical efficiency indices vary considerably. Given the availability of data, factors explaining the variation are analyzed in this paper. Neither off-farm nor non-farm working hours negatively effects technical efficiency. Nor does the age of farmers. Farmers participation in intensification program does influence technical efficiency but other determinants should properly be investigated further.
