Analisis Efisiensi Teknis Usahatani Tebu Lahan Kering di Kabupaten Jombang

Abstract

Sugar is a strategic commodity in Indonesia's economy. Annual consumption of not less than 3 million tons. Efforts to develop the sugar industry is highly dependent of the availability of raw materials, namely sugarcane as the main raw material. Sugarcane is a seasonal crop of one of the crops that are developed in the plantation area and yield the final product of sugar and molasses. Jombang is a center of production of sugarcane in the province of East Java, which ranks fourth. Sugarcane crop productivity is influenced by many factors, not just the type of land, but also in the use of production facilities and techniques in the cultivation of sugar cane. The purpose of this study to analyze the level of technical efficiency and scale efficiency in the use of factors of production in cane farming dry land in Jombang. The analytical method used is by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) using the DEAP 2.1. The results of the study for the first goal, namely, the level of technical efficiency using the DEA show that there is a 53% or 19 respondent’s farmers in a state of technical efficiency, while the rest of 47% or 17 farmer respondents in a state of technical inefficiency. The average value of technical efficiency is 0.982, this value means that the average efficiency of input use is 98.2%, which means that technically the use of factors - factors dry land production cane farming has not yet reached full efficiency level (Less than 100%) but already approaching full efficiency conditions. The cause inefficient use of production factors cane dry land District Bareng, Jombang is too much amount of inputs used, the overall input indicating the use of excessive and should be reduced is labor inputs, seeds, and herbicides. Results of analysis for the second objective, namely, the level of efficiency of scale by using DEA showed that out of 36 respondents (UKE), about 53% or 19 UKE has scaled CRS (constant returns to scale), 25% or 9 UKE has scaled DRS (decreasing returns to scale) and 22% or 8 UKE with scale IRS (increasing return to scale).
