Banten Province on the 2019 year has to harvest area of corn was 66,356 ha with 331,865.38 tons production and the highest production in Pandeglang Regency. The purpose of this study was: 1) Knowing the pattern of corn farming in Banten Province, 2) Knowing the factors of production that affect corn production. 3) Knowing the cost factors that affect the cost of corn production. The analytical method used multiple linear analysis of the Cobb Douglas production and cost function. The results of the study were: 1) The planting pattern of corn was corn-corn - fallow. Dominant varieties were NK-212 (75.8%), Bima (12.1%) and BISI-18 (12.1%). Average productivity in RS 2018/2019 was 3.44 tons of dry shelled ha-1. The B/C ratio is 0.7, it’s mean financially not profitable.2) Factors that significantly affect corn production were: number of seeds, amount of manure, and number of tractors rent, and variety dummy. A cumulative elasticity value of 1.0 means corn farming was efficient. 3) Factors that significantly influence the cost of production were liquid herbicide prices and human labor costs. Increasing corn productivity still needs to be done with the use of proportional farming inputs.
The objectives of this study were: 1) Knowing the performance and efficiency of tractors using in Banten province, 2) Knowing the economic feasibility of tractors business, 3) Knowing the business problems of tractors. The sampling method uses purposive simple random sampling with 123 respondents. The method of analysis uses B/C ratio, IRR, NPV, PP, and descriptive. The results are: 1) The potential capacity of hand tractors per year is 32.6 ha while the actual capacity only 23.9 ha/year, so the efficiency is 73.3%, while the efficiency of 4-WT is 22.8%, 2) For hand tractor the value of B/C ratio based on economic price is 0.66, NPV disc factor 45% is IDR 8,953,415, and IRR is 78%, and PP is 1.73 years; for 4- WT the value of B/C ratio is 0.89, NPV disc factor is IDR. 16,693,824 and IRR is 11%, and PP is 11.7 years. 3) The problem of the tractors business, if there is an engine failure, the owner has not been able to fix it and the availability of spare parts is relatively difficult. Suggestions, the central and regional governments need to provide training to improve the 4-WT machines.
