The farm households face different risk on decision-making of resource allocation, especially production and price risk. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to analyze the effects of input allocation on the production risk, and (2) to analyze the influence of product price and production risk, incorporating the household economic behavior, especially on decision-making in resource allocation. Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model was used to analyze the production variance. The estimation of production function showed that the current production variance was influenced by the production variance of the previous period. Pesticide had a risk-reducing effect on the variance of production. On the contrary, land and nitrogen fertilizer had risk-inducing effect on the variance of production.
