Abstract

The carrying capacity of agricultural land is defined as the ability of a region to provide land that can be used to support human agricultural activities. The Southeast Aceh Regency in Aceh Province requires an analysis of land carrying capacity to anticipate the sufficient food needs in the future. The Objective of this study is to analyze the carrying capacity of agricultural land and to analyze the need for paddy fields with a population projection approach for the next 10 years. The analytical method used in this study is quantitative descriptive analysis. The study reveals that, in 2023, the majority of the 16 districts in Southeast Aceh Regency have a predominant classification of Class II for agricultural land requirements. Generally, both land carrying capacity and agricultural land requirements are satisfactory.

Abstract

Shallot are vegetables that often experience problems in the off-farm aspect, namely high price fluctuations because shallots are a commodity that can cause inflation. This study aims to analyze the transmission pattern of shallot prices at the producer, wholesaler, and consumer levels and to analyze the factors that influence the formation of shallot price at the consumer level in North Sumatra Province. The data studied is monthly data for 2016-2020, totaling 60 observations. The analytical model used in this research is the Asymmetric Error Correction Model (AECM). The results showed that price transmission between shallot marketing agencies in North Sumatra Province was asymmetric in the short and long term in the relationship between wholesalers-producers and consumers-producers. Asymmetric price transmission in the short term is formed due to adjustment costs in line with price changes that occur. Meanwhile, long-term price transmission occurs as a result of the abuse of market power by buyers

Abstract

Within 10 years period from 2012 to 2021 there has been a decrease in the area of ​​smallholder rubber plantations in Asahan District by 2,918.85 Ha, while the area of ​​smallholder oil palm plantations has increased by 3,088.21 Ha. During the same period, the area of ​​smallholder rubber plantations in Aek Songsongan Sub District decreased by 985.58 Ha, while the area of ​​smallholder oil palm plantations increased by 690.00 Ha, this was due to the conversion of crops from rubber to oil palm. This research aims to determine whether the growers' decision to convert smallholder rubber plantations to oil palm is logical or profitable, and to analyze the factors that influence the conversion. Data analysis uses 2 methods, namely Partial Budgeting Analysis with 27 samples and Linear Regression Analysis with 42 samples. From the results of the analysis it is known that the farmer's decision to convert rubber plantations into oil palm is logical, this is evident from the results of the partial budgeting analysis which states that the results are profitable. The results of multiple linear regression analysis state that the influencing factors are the number of family dependents, land area before conversion and other sources of income, all three of which simultaneously influenced the conversion of 50.5%.

Abstract

Corn is an important necessity for human life and is the second food crop commodity after rice in Indonesia. One of the corn production centers in Indonesia is in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Corn production in this area is of concern to the government, because most of the people make their living as corn farmers. However, there are several obstacles in procuring production facilities in corn cultivation, starting from the use of less superior seeds, the procurement of expensive input facilities, the difficulty for farmers to obtain fertilizer. This research aims to analyze the influence of the use of production facilities on corn farming income in Mattirotasi Village, Watang Pulu District. The data analysis used is multiple linear regression analysis with the independent variables consisting of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides while the dependent variable is corn farming income. The results of this research show that the use of corn farmers' production facilities, namely seeds, fertilizers and pesticides in Mattiro Tasi Village, Watang Pulu District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, has a big influence on increasing or decreasing corn farming income with a regression coefficient R2 value of 80.2% while it is 19.8%. others are influenced by factors other than fertilizer, seeds and pesticides. This shows that if these production facilities are used efficiently, farmers' corn production will increase. The large amount of corn production carried out by farmers will increase the level of farmer income.

Abstract

The income of farmers who have plants aged 21-25 years based on productivity trends will experience a decline. The decline that occurs will be directly proportional to crop productivity so that the average decline in income for farmers aged 21-25 years is 1-5% per year. The average decline that has occurred is 19.11% since 2021. This research aims to increase the income of oil palm farmers aged 21-25 years in Dolok Masihul so that the decline in income experienced by farmers returns to normal conditions, namely 1-5%. The population of this research is all oil palm farmers in Dolok Masihul. Sampling was carried out using the probability sampling method and the samples were 125 farmers whose plants were 21-25 years old. The research was conducted using qualitative and quantitative methods using SWOT and QSPM analysis. The results of this research provide a defensive strategy for increasing income from plants aged 21-25 years in the short term, namely 1 to 3 years. Farmers can make improvements through crop management based on intensity and rainy days, controlling rat pests using natural enemies and using rodenticides. Fertilizer management and storage based on fertilizer properties. In the long term, namely in the next 3 to 8 years, income can be increased through the formation of farmer groups with legal entities in an effort to obtain fertilizer subsidies, counseling, procurement of shunting equipment in hilly areas and efforts to obtain CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds.

Abstract

The largest watermelon production in Demak District, Demak Regency is in Bango Village, reaching 7.91/ton and a harvest area of 46/ha with a productivity of 17.2 tons/ha per year based on data from BPS in 2022. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect production, return to scale and efficiency of using Inul watermelon farming production factors. The research was conducted in June 2023, using the survey method.    The determination of respondents by purposive sampling was farmers who were active as members of farmer groups and were planting Inul watermelons, as many as 36 farmers.  Primary data collection through interviews using questionnaire guidance. Secondary data comes from BPS and literature literature. The production function uses the Cobb-Douglas production function. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression analysis, scale-up analysis of results and production efficiency analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, production factor factors, namely land area, KNO3 fertilizer and pesticides have a real effect on the 95% confidence level while NPK seeds and fertilizers have a real effect on the 90% confidence level. The sum of elasticity in the Cobb Douglas production function is 0.621 < 1, meaning decreasing returns to scale.    The ratio between the marginal product value (NPM) of production factors and the price of production factors for land area of 4 means that it is not yet efficient. Meanwhile, seed production factors, NPK fertilizers, KNO3 fertilizers and pesticides with NPMXi / HXi values < 1 mean that the allocation of production factors is inefficient.   The use of production factors needs to be increased and the use of seeds, NPK fertilizers and KNO3 fertilizers and pesticides needs to be reduced according to the land area.

Abstract

There are fewer bamboo craftsmen in Binjai City, due to difficulties in continuing their business, the reason being the lack of participation of young people in preserving the bamboo craft business which has been running for quite a long time. The price of raw materials is very high and sometimes fluctuates so that if the price of raw materials is high, plus production costs, the selling price will be very high. So this research aims to analyze technical, price and economic efficiency in the use of production factors in the bamboo woven craft business in Binjai City. This research was conducted using cross section primary data. Data were analyzed using a stochastic frontier production function analysis tool. The research results show that in terms of technical efficiency, all craftsmen are technically efficient because the efficiency index value is more than 0,7. The average value of respondents' technical efficiency is 0,87. This value shows the average achievement of technical efficiency in the woven bamboo basket craft business of 87,64%. This condition shows that on average it still has a chance of 12,36% to achieve maximum efficiency. However, in terms of allocative and economic efficiency, all respondents are not yet efficient because the efficiency index value has not reached more than or equal to 1. The average value of allocative efficiency only reaches 0,26 and 0,22 for economic efficiency, which means that each craftsman requires additional input.
