RISIKO PRODUKSI DAN EFISIENSI ALOKASI SUMBERDAYA USAHATANI PADI GOGO PADA AGROEKOSISTEM LAHAN KERING

Abstract

The efforts in agricultural field were in  uncertainty situation, with the result that there were never certain results.  Important uncertainty sources in the agricultural field were agricultural yield and price fluctuation. Uncertainty of agricultural yield prediction was much caused by natural factors. Some of uncertain and uncontrollable natural factors by farmers were unbeneficially climate, pests and plant diseases raids, droughts and floods. All of these were factors which could decrease production, even farmers often times gained nothing from their efforts. Uncertainty about price prediction was caused by factors that were so complex which brought price fulctuation. Two influential factors to up and down price which often brought disadvantages to farmers were dealer speculation which tended to gain high profit and long market chain. The objectives of this research were to analyze the production risks of Madura tobacco farming in the mountain field, dry field, and rice field and to analyze the cost efficiency of each production input utilization at Madura tobacco farming. The research location was determined purposively that was in Sentol Village, Pademawu District.  The sampling method which refers to the opinion of Cochran (2005) that was proportional sampling. The research results was in dryland agroecosystem,  production risk of gogo rice occurring is high. This conclusion is decided by reference to the Coefficient of Variation (CVx) gogo rice farming in dry land 0.48. The analysis results of cost efficiency test concluded that rice farmers or producers behaved inefficiently in Sentol Village, Pademawu District farming activities.
