Abstract

Agriculture is the major contributor to the Brebes Regency's Gross Regional Domestic Product and employment, and rice constitutes the principal crop. Bantarkawung District is the leading producer of rice in the Brebes Regency. However, most of the paddy fields in Bantarkawung are rain-fed, so rice growing is hindered during the dry season due to a water shortage. This study's objective is to assess the farm profits obtained by households and the contribution of rice farming to household income. The population comprises 445 rice-farming families in Waru Village, from which 82 rice farmers were randomly selected. Interviews with respondents were conducted in March 2022. The variables include revenue, costs, profit, and household income. The analytical instruments consist of profit analysis and income contribution. Profit analysis was calculated using the R/C ratio, and the income contribution was calculated by comparing the profit of rainfed rice farming with farm household income. The results indicate that rainfed rice cultivation in Waru Village is profitable. The R/C is more than one, in the range of 1.22 to 2.10. Nonetheless, the contribution of rainfed rice farming to household income is small, ranging from 0.7% to 22.85%. The findings suggest that rainfed rice farmers in Waru Village should be able to sustain their farms because this type of cultivation is profitable despite its reliance on rainwater for irrigation. In addition, it is envisaged that the government, through the appropriate agencies, will enhance the road infrastructure to enable the transfer of agricultural inputs and outputs, offer the necessary socialization, and help boost production.

Abstract

This research utilizes the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to examine the symmetrical effects of inflation, exchange rates, and international trade on Indonesia's balance of payments over the period from 2015 to 2024. Amidst global economic instability, exacerbated by the US-China trade war, the persistent pandemic COVID-19, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, the Republic of Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining its external balance. This study employs quarterly time series secondary data sourced from Bank Indonesia, Statistics Indonesia (BPS), and the Ministry of Trade. The long-run estimation results indicate a negative correlation between inflation and the balance of payments, with a coefficient of -3468.811 (p=0.059). This means that if inflation goes up a lot, it could make the country's external position worse. The export coefficient, at 2.4342 (p=0.000), indicates a substantial positive impact, whereas the import coefficient, at -2.5669 (p=0.000), signifies a considerable negative effect. The exchange rate's long-term influence appears relatively weak, as evidenced by a coefficient of -0.635 (p=0.082). Short-run estimations reveal that the error correction term (ECT) coefficient is -0.9766 (p=0.000), suggesting a rapid convergence towards long-run equilibrium. These findings carry significant implications for Indonesian economic policy, particularly concerning inflation control and export promotion, both of which are essential for maintaining external stability. Consequently, to enhance the long-term balance of payments, the implementation of prudent monetary and trade policies that foster export expansion while managing import levels is crucial.
