Efficiency analysis of using production factors in paddy rice farming in Macope Sub-District, Awangpone District, Bone Regency

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze efficiency level of the use of production factors on productivity of lowland rice farming in Macope Village, Awangpone District, Bone Regency. The analysis technique used is the Cobb Douglass function analysis which is transformed into multiple linear regression to see the value of the regression coefficient and price efficiency analysis. The results showed that the variables of land area, seeds, urea, NPK, Tabas, DMA, and labor simultaneously had a significant effect on lowland rice productivity. The variable of land area partially has a significant effect on productivity, however, seeds, urea fertilizer, NPK fertilizer, Tabas pesticide, DMA pesticide, and labor partially do not have a significant effect on productivity. The use of seed production factors and labor is not efficient, while the land area, urea, NPK, Tabas, and DMA are not efficient.
