Abstract

Farm machinery hire service is a custom hiring business model managed by farmers’ groups at the farm level. The model is developed to facilitate access to farm machinery by small farmers and derive income (profit) from hiring out machinery services. This research attempts to evaluate the performance of farm machinery hire services in the Indragiri Hulu Region, Riau Province. The field surveys were conducted from September to October 2022 in 11 districts in the province. A total of 11 managers and 22 operators from 11 farm machinery hire service groups were selected purposively and interviewed to collect field data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and quantitative approaches. The results showed that farm machinery hire service groups manage 3 to 6 types of machines, including hand tractors, mini tractors, water pumps, rice transplanters, combine harvesters, and power threshers. The available farm machines are not sufficient to cover the entire area owned by farm machinery hire service groups. Therefore, most machines must work beyond capacity to achieve the target of covering as wide an area as possible. The machinery hire service was profitable for businesses at the farm level in the region. The results suggest that the number and type of farm machines must be added to increase the working area and make more profit. Keywords: Economic performance, Farm machinery hire services, Performance evaluation, Technical performance, Working area.

Abstract

Types of tractors used for tillage operations in paddy fields have developed in varius types with diffrent performances.  The purpose of this study is to analysis the costs, yields, profit, and efficiency of rice farming and compare them with farms that employ four-wheel tractors, rotary tillers, and moldboard flows.  A survey-based study was carried out in the Rengat Barat District of the Indragiri Hulu Regency from October 2022 to March 2023.  A  total of 70 farmers was chosen at random for samples; 20 of them used four-wheel traktor, 25 used rotary tillers, and 25 used moldboard flows. Data were obtained from primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected by personal interviews. The collected data were tabulated and then analized using simple matematic and different test.  The results showed that the rice farming using four-wheel tractors was the best performnce in costs (IDR 7,198,530/ha/growing season)) and economic efficiency (1.69). The best performance in productivity (2.8 ton/ha/growing season)) and profit (IDR. 5,443,486/ha/growing season)) was found for the rice farmings used mouldboard flows. Based on difference test showed that the average of production costs, productivity, profit and eficiency significanly differed between rice farming used four-wheel tractors, power tillers and moulboard plows at the significant level of 5%. The findngs suggest that farmers must choose the best performnace of rice farming by using four-wheel tractors for a higher eficiency or mouldboard flows for getting more profit.
