EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION FACTORS FOR PEOPLE'S SUGARCANE FARMING (Sugarcane)IN PUCAKWANGI DISTRICTPATI REGENCY

Abstract

Pucakwangi District is one of the sugarcane production centers in Pati Regency. The success of people's sugarcane farming production cannot be separated from the use of input production factors managed by the farmers themselves. The purpose of this study to know the effect of the use of production factors on sugarcane production and knowing the level of allocative efficiency in sugarcane farming. The method research used is quantitative research with a survey approach. Determination of the sample is done by purposive sampling. The number of sugarcane farmer respondents involved was 34 farmers. The effect of production factors on sugarcane production was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the Cobb-Douglas production function. Allocative efficiency through the comparison of the value of the marginal product with the price of the input. The results of the regression analysis show that partially the use of production factors that have a significant effect on people's sugar cane production are land area (X1), phonska fertilizer (X2), and ZA fertilizer (X3), meanwhile, the labor (X4) and herbicide (X5) factor has no significant effect on sugarcane production (Y). Simultaneously, the variables land area (X1), phonska fertilizer (X2), ZA fertilizer (X3), labor (X4), and herbicides (X5), have a significant effect on sugar cane production (Y). Allocative efficiency of the use of production factors which include land area (X1), phonska fertilizer (X2), and ZA fertilizer (X3) are not yet efficient, because > 1 so it is necessary to addition the use of production factors.
