Technical Efficiency and Income Level of Sugarcane Farming in Pati Regency

SUMMARY

IndonesianDefisit produksi gula dalam negeri antara lain disebabkan oleh rendahnya produktivitas usaha tani tebu. Peningkatan efisiensi teknis dapat menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan pendapatan petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efisiensi teknis usaha tani tebu dengan metode MLE stochastic frontier production function. Data primer diperoleh dari 61 contoh yang dipilih secara acak dari populasi petani tebu di pabrik gula Pakis Baru dan Trangkil di Kabupaten Pati pada April-Mei  2018.  Analisis menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi teknis dan pendapatan usaha tani tebu dengan sistem benih baru lebih tinggi daripada dengan sistem kepras. Penggunaan pupuk kimia sudah berlebihan. Keanggotaan kelompok tani berdampak signifikan dalam meningkatkan inefisiensi pada sistem benih baru, sedangkan keanggotaan dalam koperasi berpengaruh signifikan dalam menurunkan inefisiensi pada sistem benih baru. Jumlah anggota keluarga berpengaruh signifikan dalam mengurangi inefisiensi teknis sistem kepras.  Efisiensi teknis dan pendapatan usaha tani tebu dapat ditingkatkan melalui optimasi penggunaan sarana produksi dengan mematuhi rekomendasi pabrik mitra dan pemerintah, khususnya penggunaan pupuk sesuai dosis rekomendasi dan penggantian ratun yang sudah berumur tiga tahun dengan benih baru bermutu tinggi sesuai agroekosistem spesifik lokasi. Untuk itu, penyediaan layanan penyuluhan yang efektif merupakan syarat keharusan. EnglishDomestic sugar production deficit is partly caused low productivity of sugarcane farming. Improving technical efficiency may increase farm productivity and income. The study aims to analyze the sugarcane farming technical efficiency by using the stochastic frontier production function. The primary data were obtained from 61 randomly selected samples of sugarcane farmers population of the Pakis Baru and Trangkil sugar factories in Pati Regency in April-May 2018. The study shows that the sugarcane farming technical efficiency and income of the new sugarcane seed system is higher than the ratoon system. Chemical fertilizers have been over used.  Farmer group membership significantly increases inefficiency of the new sugarcane seed system, while the cooperative membership significantly decreases inefficiency of the new sugarcane seed system. Family member significantly decreases technical inefficiency of the ratoon system. Technical efficiency and farmers’ income can be improved by allocating production inputs in efficient manner based on the recommendations of partner Sugar Factory and Government, of in particular, fertilizer utilizations according to the recommended dosages and replacement of the already three years ratoon seeds with new high-quality seeds in accordance with the local agroecosystem condition. To this end, provision of an effective extension service is imperative.
