Abstract

Deli Serdang Regency is the leading rice producer in North Sumatra Province. The fact is that productivity in Deli Serdang Regency has stagnated. The problem experienced by farmers is that farmers still apply monoculture cropping patterns, namely farming with only one type of crop each year, climate change, and rising input prices. This study aims to determine whether rice farming is run by farmers in Deli Serdang Regency, whether or not it is efficient, and to find out the socio-economic factors that influence technical efficiency in Deli Serdang Regency. Our study uses the Data Envelopments Analysis (DEA) method and Tobit regression to measure the technical efficiency of 400 rice farmers. Our study found that the value of technical efficiency based on the CRS, VRS, and SE assumptions was 0.576, 0.806, and 0.717. These three values mean that inefficient rice farming must reduce inputs by 42.6%, 19.4%, and 28.3%, respectively, so inefficient farming becomes efficient. Our study also found that factors that increase technical efficiency are education, access to credit, access to irrigation, distance to markets, experience, and crop diversification. Factors reducing technical efficiency are climate change and rising input prices.

The problems farmers face isclimate change, access to irrigation, and rising input prices. This study aimed to determine the income of rice farmers, the percentage level of farmers doing livelihood diversification, and the variables that influence livelihood diversification. Four hundred people (especially rice farmers) became the research sample. The data analysis method is Multinomial Logit Analysis. The results of this study indicate that the average income is 1,221,680.5/month. The income of these rice farmers is below the Deli Serdang UMK. Then, our study found that 67% of rice farmers diversified their livelihoods. Finally, the results of our study show that the variables that have an essential influence on livelihood diversification in Deli Serdang Regency are land area, dependency ratio, counseling, membership of farmer groups, distance to markets, and farming experience.
