2 Abstrak Volume 2 No. 1 ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PRODUKSI KUBIS DI DESA CIMENYAN, KABUPATEN BANDUNG A. Faroby Falatehan 1 dan Ade Suryani Rifqie 2 1 & 2 Departemen Ekonomi dan Sumberdaya Lingkungan, Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen IPB This paper examines the production function of cabbage commodity in Kecamatan Cimenyan, Bandung Regency, Jawa Barat Province. It is one of the main producing areas of cabbage in West Java. The study used dummy variable to distinguish between planting time in the early and mid-rainy seasons. Results of analysis showed that the cabbage farms are in increasing return to scale. The regression coefficients of seeds, organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and dummy of planting implied the positive significant influences on the value of output. Meanwhile, the regression coefficients of land area and pest showed the negative significant influences. Based on the dummy analysis, planting at the beginning of the rainy season is more profitable than planting in the middle of the rainy season. Keywords : cabbage, production function, dummy variable ANALISIS EFISIENSI TEKNIS DAN PENDAPATAN USAHATANI PADI PROGRAM BENIH BERSERTIFIKAT: PENDEKATAN STOCHASTIC PRODUCTION FRONTIER (Technical Efficiency and Income Analysis for Certified Rice Seed Program: Stochastic Production Frontier Aproach) Dwi Rachmina 1 dan Maryono 2 1 & 2 S Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture launched the certified rice seed program in order to increase rice production and productivity where the pilot project was implemented in Karawang. The objectives of this research are to analyze the technical efficiency, structure of cost and income, and to evaluate the implementation of new innovation technology for certified rice seed program. Stochastic frontier production function, with MLE, showed that the technical efficiency has decreased after the implementation of program. The result of technical inefficiency effect before the implementation of program showed that the significant variables were dummy organic and legowo, whereas after the implementation of program were the experience, education, and urea-tsp ratio. This condition showed that the increasing profit was caused by the change of price, not by the increase of productivity. The implementation of farming technology was not successful where only 9.68 percent of respondents used organic fertilizer, 6.45 percent planted young seedlings, percent practiced legowo, and percent applied fertilizers efficiently. Keywords : certified rice seed program, technical efficiency, income, stochastic frontier production function

3 ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN MOTIVASI PETANI DALAM BERUSAHATANI TEBU (STUDI KASUS: PETANI TEBU RAKYAT DI DESA TONJONG WILAYAH KERJA PABRIK GULA TERSANA BARU, KABUPATEN CIREBON) Lukman M. Baga dan Rudie Setiadi S Sugar production growth in Java is quite interesting. Before the economic crisis in 1998, the growth of sugar production was negative, however, after the crisis it became positive. In fact, farmers enthusiasm to plant sugar cane started to increase since This is reflected by the steady larger land area of sugar cane plantation after Government s policy on sugar production became more conducive for farmers. There is no more government s direct intervention on determining sugar cane planting area which is parallel with the strengthening of farmer s organization (APTRI). APTRI plays important roles in pursuing higher welfare of sugar cane farmers, through achieving higher price of their production. However, it is still clearly unknown, how high is the motivation of farmers to plant sugar cane, and what are the internal and external factors of sugar cane farmers that influence their motivation? This study aims to answer these questions in order to assure the sustainability of sugar cane production in Indonesia. This study employed the case study methods to sugar cane farmers in Cirebon, West Java. The result shows that farmers motivation in planting sugarcane is good due to the current sugar business environment that is conducive for them. The role of sugar cane farmers association (APTRI) is essential to increase their motivation. Keywords : sugar, sugar cane, farmers, motivation, farmer association ANALISIS DAYA SAING DAN KEBIJAKAN PEMERINTAH PADA USAHATANI CABE MERAH (KASUS KECAMATAN CIWIDEY KABUPATEN BANDUNG DAN KECAMATAN LEMBANG KABUPATEN BANDUNG BARAT) Netti Tinaprilla This paper aims to analyze (1) profitability of chili farming privately and socially; (2) competitiveness of chili through competitive and comparative advantages; (3) impacts of government policy on chili farming; (4) impacts of the government policy change on the competitiveness of chili. This research was conducted in Ciwidey subdistrict, Bandung district and Lembang sub-district, Bandung Barat district. Both primary and secondary data were used in this research whereas the samples were chosen by snowball sampling method. Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) was employed in this paper. The survey was conducted from December 2007 to February The results showed that chili farming in both sub-districts was profitable privately and socially. Chili farming in Lembang was more profitable than in Ciwidey. Both sub-districts have competitive and comparative advantages where the competitive and comparative advantages in Ciwidey were higher. Impacts of output policy have caused the chili farming in both sub-districts received actual output price lower that its social price. Subsidy of tradable and non-tradable inputs caused farmers received cheaper input price. Government policy on input-output has benefited chili farming in Lembang. Increase of production cost, decrease of output price and decrease of production partially or as a whole have caused smaller profitability and higher PCR and DRC that are nearly to one. However, these changes would not change the profit to be the loss or competitive and comparative advantages to be not competitive. Keywords : farming, competitiveness, comparative advantage, competitive advantage, policy

4 KEBERLANJUTAN SISTEM KETERSEDIAAN BERAS NASIONAL : PENDEKATAN TEKNIK ORDINASI RAP-RICE DENGAN METODA MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING (MDS) 1 Rita Nurmalina Departemen Agribisnis, Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen, IPB This paper aims to analyze the sustainability of rice availability system at national level, based on sustainability index and status using a Rap-Rice Ordination Technique with Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) Method. This study used primary and secondary data. Result of the MDS analysis Rap-Rice ordinary technique showed that a sustainability index of rice availability system at national level was 64.51, which categorized as sustainable sufficient. Analysis for five dimensions (ecology, economy, socio-culture, institution and technology) showed that a sustainability index of national rice availability system for institution and technology dimensions were relatively high, and 77.10, respectively, which felt into good category; the index for ecological and socio-cultural dimensions were and 53.74, respectively, categorized as satisfactorily sustainable; and the index for economic dimension was which categorized as less sustainable. Results of leverage analysis indicated that 23 out of 60 attributes were sensitivity influential to sustainability of rice availability system. Four attributes from economic dimension as priority to be managed were (1) real wage of farm labor, (2) number of farm households with land holding greater than 0.5 hectares, (3) number of farm labors, and (4) value of Regional GDP. Keywords : Sustainability of rice availability, Rap-Rice ordinary, Multidimensional Scaling Method (MDS).
