Abstract
This study aims to analyze factors influencing shallot production and the allocative efficiency of shallot farming in Pati Regency Central Java. Based on data from the association of farmer groups (Gapoktan), there were 12 farmer groups. Using multistage random sampling, four farmer groups and 73 farmers were taken as samples. Data were obtained using interviews and questionnaires. Then, the data were analyzed using the Cobb-Douglass production function and efficiency analysis. The results revealed that factors of land area, seeds, KNO3 fertilizer, and family labor significantly possitive affected shallot production. In general, all of the production factors have not been allocatively efficient. To enhance efficiency, farmers should increase the use of production inputs such as land, seeds, fertilizers, and labor.
Highlights
Central Java Province is the highest shallot-producing province in Indonesia, with BrebesRegency as the main production center
Factors considered affecting shallot production consisted of land area (X1), seeds (X2), Urea fertilizer (X3), ZA fertilizer (X4), TSP fertilizer (X5), KCL fertilizer (X6), Pearl NPK fertilizer (X7), Saprodap NPK fertilizer (X8), KNO3 fertilizer (X9), organic fertilizer (X10), solid pesticide (X11), liquid pesticide (X12), family labor (X13), and non-family labor (X14)
It indicates that the variation in shallot production can be explained by variations in production factors such as land area, seeds, Urea fertilizer, ZA fertilizer, TSP fertilizer, KCL fertilizer, Pearl NPK fertilizer, Saprodap NPK fertilizer, KNO3 fertilizer, organic fertilizer, solid pesticide, liquid pesticide, family labor, and nonfamily labor, by 51.5%
Summary
Central Java Province is the highest shallot-producing province in Indonesia, with Brebes. In addition to Brebes and Demak Regencies, Pati. Regency is a new shallot production center in Central Java for the last five years with high land productivity, enabling it to produce abundant and sustainable shallot production in supporting shallot production in the province [1].
