<![CDATA[Permintaan produk organik cenderung meningkat dengan semakin meningkatnya kesadaran akan kesehatan. Sebagai respon petani juga meningkatkan produk organiknya, termasuk padi organik di Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai. Tanpa penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida kimia secara umum biaya produksi dan produksi padi organik lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan padi anorganik. Namun umumnya konsumen bersedia membayar beras organik dengan harga yang lebih tinggi, oleh karena itu pendapatan petani padi organik akan ditentukan oleh selisih penerimaan (akibat penurunan produksi dan peningkatan harga jual) dan perubahan biaya produksi (akibat penurunan penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida kimia). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah dan harga penjualan beras organik mengalami peningkatan dari waktu ke waktu. Hasil estimasi regresi berganda menunjukkan bahwa produktivitas padi organik, harga urin sapi, dan upah tenaga kerja berpengaruh nyata terhadap pendapatan petani padi organik. Sedangkan harga bibit, harga pupuk kandang, harga pestisida organik, dan biaya pemasaran tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap pendapatan petani padi organik.

Therefore farmers’ response also increases their organic products, including those in Serdang Bedagai District. Without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the production cost and the production of organic rice was generally lower than that of in-organic rice. However, most consumers are willing to pay higher price for the organic rice, therefore farmers’ income from organic rice will be determined by the change in revenue (due to the decrease in production and the increase in the selling price) and production costs (due to the decrease in chemical fertilizers and pesticides usage). Result of the research shows that the quality and the price of organic rice was increasing from time to time. Estimation of the multiple regression shows that the organic rice productivity, the cows’ urine price, and the employees’ wages significantly influence the organic rice farmers income. However, the seedling price, manure price, organic pesticide price, and marketing cost do not have significant influence on the organic rice farmers income. Keywords: Income and Income Factor]]>
