Abstract
One aquaculture commodity that has a high economic value and potential to be developed in Indonesia is lobster. Lombok Island is a considerable lobster-producing area that has a great potential for the future development. However, lobster farming in this island lacks in productivity due to the management factors. Therefore, to achieve a sustainable development, the lobster farming needs a number of efforts to improve its productivity and technical efficiency. This study aims to: (1) analyze the influencing factors to the production of lobster farming and (2) analyze the level of technical efficiency and affecting factors on the technical inefficiency of lobster farming. The primary data were collected through surveys of 106 lobster - farming households. The stochastic frontier production function with Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) method was used to analyze the efficiency of the cultivation system. The results suggested that most of the farmers are technically efficient with the average of the technical efficiency level of 0.91. The production inputs that have significant effects include the quantities of seed and feed and culture period. The technical inefficiency was influenced by the farmers’ age, experience, education and perceptions on sustainability of their farming. Keywords: technical efficiency, lobster farming, stochastic frontier production function, Cobb-Douglas, MLE

Summary
Persamaan penduga fungsi produksi frontier CobbDouglas yang mengacu pada model Coelli et al (1998) dari usaha pembesaran lobster dapat ditulis sebagai berikut: Penelitian tentang efisiensi teknis pada berbagai usaha tani telah banyak dilakukan, seperti Lasmini et al (2016) pada usahatani padi menggunakan Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA); Ningsih et al (2015) pada usahatani kedelai menggunakan fungsi produksi stokastik frontier Cobb-Douglas dan regeresi tobit; Chen et al (2015) pada usaha perikanan tangkap lobster menggunakan DEA; Crentsil dan Essilfie (2014) pada produksi perikanan nelayan kecil menggunakan fungsi produksi stokastik frontier Cobb-Douglas dan lainlain. Penelitian tentang efisiensi teknis ini dilakukan pada usahatani budi daya pembesaran lobster air laut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis faktorfaktor yang memengaruhi produksi lobster di Pulau Lombok, menganalisis tingkat efisiensi teknis dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi inefisiensi teknis usaha pembesaran lobster di Pulau Lombok. Ruang lingkup penelitian ini adalah identifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi produksi lobster dan pengukuran efisiensi teknis usaha budi daya pembesaran lobster di Kecamatan Jerowaru, Kabupaten Lombok Timur Pulau Lombok, NTB. Untuk mengukur tingkat efisiensi teknis usaha budi daya lobster dapat menggunakan rumus sebagai berikut (Coelli et al 1998): Keterangan: TE (efisiensi teknis); E (Y/ Ui,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5) (output observasi); dan E(Y*/Ui = 0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5) (output batas (frontier))
