This study aimed to analyze the effects of production factors on production volume; determine and analyze the technical, economic, and allocative level of efficiency of vanname shrimp farming. The study was conducted at Sani-Sani village in Samaturu sub regency, Kolaka regency, involving 46 purposively-selected samples of shrimp farmers. Analysis was performed using the Frontier version 41.c program by applying the stochastic frontier approach to production function and cost function. Results of the study were: volume of production were affected by: farming area, urea fertilizer, shrimp feedings, shrimp seedlings, and labors. Production cost was affected by price of: volume production, urea fertilizer, SP36 fertilizer, lime, shrimp seedlings, and labors. The average technical efficiency, allocative efficiency and economic efficiency shrimp farming vanname in the classification efficiency was low because the value below 90 percent efficiency ranged between 80.99 to 88.64 percent of the use of factors of production is not efficient , which means they need additional factor production.

In general, this study was aimed to reveal the extent of government contributions in encouraging increased productivity of seed breeders in Southeast Sulawesi Indonesia. This study was conducted in Southeast Sulawesi using cross-sectional data from 81 respondents obtained by census. The results of the research data were analyzed descriptively and used the stochastic frontier analysis. The results of the analysis showed that the increase in soybean seed production was significantly affected by the area of land, SP36/NPK Fertilizer, Increased labor for threshing, and labor for drying. Overall, soybean breeder farmers had not achieved maximum productivity because still had productivity gap of 15%. The role of the government that significantly increases production and productivity could be done through fertilizer input subsidy program, increase in land area, and increase the intensity of BPSB counseling/supervision in each planting season. For this reason, the government needs to ensure access, availability and price of fertilizer during the soybean growing season. In addition, the government can intensify assistance and supervision of farmers while increasing the adoption of agricultural mechanization technology in the process of threshing and drying of seeds.
The research aimed to predict farmer’s productivity level and to identify factors affecting productivity level in seaweeds farming in Muna District Southeast Sulawesi. To achieve that objectives, frontier cost function using OLS and MLE estimation method with Cobb-Douglas functional assupmtion was used. Eighty six respondents were selected by proportional random method. The results of cost function based on OLS and estimation based on MLE showed that variables of seed prices, transportation prices, labor price and amount of production had jointly significant affect. Research showed farmers achieved productivity levels between 80 to 99 percent with an average of 96 percent. Productivity level distribution was influenced significantly by seaweed sales price and dummy of marketing channels. Important policy implication was to increase amount of production to fulfill market demand can only be done by increasing scale because gap between average productivity of farmers with maximum productivity rate of allocation and best combination of inputs (best practiced farm) is fairly narrow. Increasing scale of seaweed farmers must been followed with reforming that involving the government to correct the marketing system of seaweed so gave better impact on the price at farm level that would increase farmers productivity.
This study aims to analyze the factors that influence production and analyze the efficiency of allocation of the use of production factors on tomato farming conducted in Kapontori District, Buton Regency. Data collection was conducted in January-April 2019 with the survey method. A total of 67 tomato farmers were selected as samples using the simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed using multiple nonlinear regression with Cobb-Douglas production function followed by calculation of price efficiency. The results showed that the area of land, seeds, and fertilizers were factors of production which had a significant effect on tomato production. Tomato farming is on an increasing return to scale scale where increasing use of factors in the production of land, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor simultaneously leads to a greater increase in tomato production. Production factor allocation efficiency analysis shows that the use of production factors in land area is not efficient so it needs to be added, the use of seed production factors is not efficient so it needs to be added, and the use of fertilizer production factors is inefficient so it needs to be reduced.Keywords: efficiency; production factors; tomatoes
The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the independence of farmers, the sustainability of lowland rice farming, and the relationship between farmers' independence and the sustainability of lowland rice farming in Konda District, South Konawe Regency. Data sourced from lowland rice farmers in Konda District. The basis for consideration of making two villages the subject of this research is that the two villages are the villages with the highest number of lowland rice farmers in Konda District. The population of this research is 120 farmers of lowland rice in Cialam Jaya village and 80 farmers in Lawoila village. The research sample size was determined using the Slovin formula and the respondents were determined using cluster random sampling. Data analysis used descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed that the level of independence of farmers was included in the less independent category, which was 41.9 and the sustainability of farming was included in the less sustainable category, which was 37.0. The implication of the results of this study is that the independence of lowland rice farmers is one of the determining factors for the sustainability of lowland rice farming in Konda District in particular and South Konawe Regency in general.Keywords: farmer independence; sustainability of farming; rice paddy farming.
