Analysis of Factors Influencing Rice Production in Labuhan Batu District

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence rice production in Labuhan Batu District. The research was conducted in Labuhanbatu Regency, North Sumatra Province. The determination of the research area was carried out purposively (deliberately) with the consideration that the area of Labuhanbatu Regency was because according to BPS data for 2021, there was a deficit in dry milled rice production and corn production in Labuhanbatu which was not proportional to the population growth. The population in this study were all sub-districts that existed in Labuhanbatu Regency, which totaled 9 sub-districts the method used in sampling was a census, and the selection of samples was taken from 9 sub-districts in Labuhan Batu District. Data analysis in this study used Multiple Regression Analysis (multiple regression) through the Cobb-Dougla function, while the results of this study were that in the study the variable area of land had an effect on rice production because t count > t table (6,184 > 2,010) and a significant level 0.000 < 0.05. In the research, the agricultural sector variable has an effect on rice production because of t-count > t table (3,398 > 2,010) and a significant level of 0.002 <0.05. In the research, the variable fertilizer has an effect on rice production because t-count > t table (5.075 <2.010) and a significant level of 0.000 <0.05. In this study, the seed variable has an effect on rice production because of t-count > t-table (4,341 < 2,010) and a significant level of 0.000 < 0.05. The form of a linear regression model of the Cobb-Douglas production function for the study of factors influencing rice production. Shows the results of (bx1+bx2+bx3+bx4) = 4,761 meaning that in this study the area of land, the contribution of the agricultural sector, the use of fertilizers, and the use of seeds can be projected to see the amount of rice production in harbor stone of 47.61%.
