Pandeglang district is the largest soybean producer region in Banten province. Since the last four years, Pandeglang Regency has decreased land area and production. However, the amount of soybean productivity has increased. The ability of farmers to manage and allocate various inputs used in soybean farming affects the production and productivity of soybean and can give an idea of the level of efficiency achieved by farmers. So it is necessary to research whether the application or use of inputs in the process of soybean production has been at technically efficient level or not. Based on these conditions, in this study aims to: know the level of technical efficiency in soybean farming in Pandeglang regency. The basic method used in this research is descriptive method and the location of research is determined intentionally or purposive sampling. Sample selection for soybean farmer respondents was done by simple random sampling method of 77 soybean farmers. The result of the research shows that production factors that significantly affecting soybean production in Pandeglang are wide, fertilizer and insecticide. The average value of farmers' technical efficiency is 0.864. This figure indicates that the average farmers of respondents have reached technical efficiency in soybean production in the research area. the technical efficiency value of the stochastic function with the lowest value 0.6314 and the highest value 0.9599. Factors affecting technical inefficiency are age and training. However, these factors have a positive effect, meaning that both increase the level of technical inefficiency of soybean farming.

Temanggung regency is the largest garlic producer region in Central Java Province. However, its productivity is still low compared to the other regencies since garlic farmers have not achieved technical efficiency and limitary garlic farming technology.  Hence, it is necessary to investigate whether the input application in the process of garlic production has been at technically efficient level or not. This research aims to determine factors affecting garlic production, the level of technical efficiency and technical inefficiency of garlic farming in Temanggung Regency. The location of the research was determined by using purposive sampling. The sample selection used simple random sampling method with  60 garlic farmers as the respondent. The result shows that production factors such as land area, garlic seed, ZK fertilizer, pesticide and the level of application of garlic GAP-SOP have significant effect on garlic production. The average value of farmer’s technical efficiency is 0,811. It means that respondents in this study have been technically efficient. The socio-economic factors affecting technical inefficiency are the age, the number of worker in a family, the level of education and participation rate within farmer group. The improvement effort of technical efficiency of garlic farming can be done by optimizing the contribution of farmer group as a facility to access information. Therefore, it is able to improve the skills and knowledge of farmers to farm garlic.

This study aims to determine: (1) the factors that infl uence the production of seaweed and (2)  the level of technical effi ciency obtained by seaweed farmers in Tarakan. Since 2009, most of the fi shermen on the coast of Amal turned into seaweed farming as it is more profi table and easier to cultivate. The basic method used in this research is descriptive method while the location of the research was determined by intentional or purposive sampling. The sample selection for seaweed farmer respondents used simple random sampling of 100 seaweed farmers. The results showed that the factors of production which have positive and signifi cant impact on seaweed production in Tarakan are farm area, seeds, labor and dummy for location. The technical effi ciency in a secure or unsecured locations are 0,93 and 0,82, respectively, with the average value of the technical effi ciency of seaweed farmers in general is 0,92. Socio-economic factors affecting technical ineffi ciency are farmers’age, farming experience, number of family members, education and dummy for location. However, the experience of farming and dummy for location have negative coeffi cients which means that both are able to increase the level of technical effi ciency of seaweed farming.

Soybean has an important role in Indonesian diet, especially as source of protein, fat, mineral, and vitamin. Given the relatively stagnant technology, efficiency improvement at farm level would probably be an appropriate way to increase soybean production in the near future. The objective of this paper was to estimate the technical efficiency of soybean production in irrigated area of Brantas river basin and analyze factors affecting technical inefficiency level. The results indicated that the technical efficiency of soybean production in the sites was around 83%. The analysis, however, failed to identify the determinants of technical inefficiency because none of the parameters in the analysis was significant. Further study is required to identify the determinants such that the target groups of extension can be specifically determined. Since K2O fertilizer significantly affected soybean production while P2O5 and N fertilizers did not, the first step to improve the technical efficiency of soybean production was to provide soybean farmers with recommendation regarding balanced amount of fertilizers. The recommendation, however, should be derived from local verification trial in each site.

The majority of soybean supply is fulfilled by importation and the import of soybean tends to increase. The dependency of Indonesia on imported soybean indeed becomes a serious issue in maintaining food security and local production of soybean is low and quite decreasing. The low domestic soybean production might be caused by the inappropriate used of inputs. Many cases found in the field are the inefficient uses of input factors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the soybean production and to analyze the optimal level of input use in soybean production. The study was conducted in the Sukahurip Village, Pangatikan Sub-District, Garut District, West Java in July 2018. The research method used was a survey method. The data used consisted of primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from samples of soybean farmers and samples of farmers were taken by a simple random sampling. The data were analyzed by Cobb Douglass`s Production function (to analyze factors affecting soybean production) and the NPM that was equal to BKM formula was used to determine the optimal level of inputs use. Factors influencing soybean production are land and seeds. Land use, seeds, and ZA fertilizer have not been used efficiently because of the limited land use and the use of substandard inputs. The addition of inputs to the optimal level is 1.36 hectares of land use and 52.7 kg of seeds that will maximize the profits. Keywords: efficiency, input, optimal, production, soybean

This research aims to determine the belief-based drought perceptions and attitudes of farmers in Şanlıurfa, which is in a semi-arid climate regime, and the factors affecting them. The surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews with farmers selected by a simple random sampling method in 2020. Analyses were performed with ordinal logit regression in STATA. According to the results, while the effects of settlement location, land size, age, and the size of the household were statistically significant to farmers seeing drought, which is the dependent variable, as caused by fate, the effects of income, experience, and education level were insignificant. For the probability of predicting drought for each independent variable in the sequence analysis, the highest probabilities were found among farmers in the Harran Plain, with 21–30 years of experience, from a household of one to four people, with the land area between 5.1 and 10.0 hectares, aged 61 and above, who were primary school graduates, and who had an annual income of less than 25,000 TL ($3561). The subject of drought should be given more place in religious education in the entire research area by prioritizing these groups. It would also be beneficial to organize workshops for the farmers by agricultural consultants, where Islamic scholars would be present to support science and knowledge in terms of faith. This study is the first in this context in Turkey and provides useful data to policymakers for drought-mitigation policies.

Shallot is an important vegetable commodity for most Indonesian people. Shallots production is not yet able to supply the domestic consumption, and some is still met through imports. The challenge to produce shallots will be more complex, such as: the desire of consumers to high-quality products and environmentally friendly, as well as competition with similar products in the era of free trade. Based on these reasons, research has been done and the purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting shallots production, measuring the level of technical efficiency and economical efficiency. The study was conducted in Nganjuk District by taking 179 respondents from four sub districts. Interviews were conducted in October and November 2013, planting shallots April unti August 2013. Methods of analysis using the stochastic frontier production function to look at the effect of inputs on shallots production, followed by the analysis of technical efficiency (TE), allocative efficiency (AE) and economical efficiency (EE), and the final analysis of competitiveness using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The independent variable inputs consist of land (X1), seeds (X2), NPK fertilizer (X3), organic fertilizer (X4), labor (X5) and pesticides (X6). The analysis showed all independent variables significantly affected shallots production, where the value of the elasticity of the independent variable X2 is the highest, amounting to 0.2822. The analysis also obtained an average value of TE is equal to 0.808 means farmers are efficient, although there are farmers who are still not efficient. Although TE has been achieved, but is economically inefficient, because the average value of EE only 0.509. From PAM results it can be seen that farming shallots in this study has a competitive advantage but do not yet have a comparative advantage.
