Judul: Production Efficiency Analysis of White Jasmine Flower (Jasminum Sambac) farming in Maribaya Village, Kramat District, Tegal Regency
Abstrak: Bunga melati putih di Desa Maribaya merupakan produksi bunga melati terbesar di Kecamatan Kramat. Desa Maribaya merupakan desa yang berpotensi untuk budidaya bunga melati karena sebagian besar penduduknya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani bunga melati. Hal ini didukung dengan kondisi lahan yang cocok untuk melakukan budidaya melati, namun produktivitas bunga melati di Desa Maribaya mengalami penurunan. Hal tersebut diduga akibat pengalokasian faktor input-input produksi yang belum efisien baik dari faktor internal maupun eksternal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi produktivitas usaha tani bunga melati di Desa Maribaya (2) menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi biaya produksi usaha tani bunga melati di Desa Maribaya (3) menganalisis efisiensi teknis, alokatif, dan ekonomi usaha tani bunga melati di Desa Maribaya (4) menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi inefisiensi bunga melati di Desa Maribaya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah fungsi produksi dan biaya produksi stochastic frontier Cobb-Douglas metode maximum likelihood estimation dan efek inefisiensi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi meningkatkan produktivitas bunga melati meliputi jumlah bibit, jumlah pupuk anorganik, pestisida, dan tenaga kerja serta faktor yang memengaruhi meningkatkan biaya produksi yaitu produktivitas melati, harga sewa lahan, harga pupuk anorganik, harga pestisida, dan upah tenaga kerja. Rata-rata nilai efisiensi teknis sudah efisien, namun secara efisiensi alokatif dan ekonomi belum efisien. Variabel sosial ekonomi pada inefisiensi teknis tidak ada yang berpengaruh signifikan, sedangkan variabel sosial ekonomi pada inefiensi ekonomi berpengaruh signifikan, yaitu pendidikan formal dan pengalaman usaha tani., White jasmine flowers in Maribaya Village are the largest jasmine flower production in Kramat District. Maribaya village is a village with the potential for jasmine flower cultivation because most of the residents make a living as jasmine flower farmers. This is supported by land conditions that are suitable for jasmine cultivation, but the productivity of jasmine flowers in Maribaya Village has decreased. This is thought to be due to the inefficient allocation of production input factors from both internal and external factors. This study aims to (1) analyze the factors that affect the productivity of jasmine flower farming in Maribaya Village (2) analyze the factors that affect the production costs of jasmine flower farming in Maribaya Village (3) analyze the technical, allocative, and economic efficiency of jasmine flower farming in Maribaya Village (4) analyze the factors that affect jasmine flower inefficiency in Maribaya Village. The method used in the study was the production function and production cost of the Cobb-Douglas frontier stochastic method of maximum likelihood estimation and inefficiency effects. The results of the analysis show that the factors that influence increasing the productivity of jasmine flowers include the number of seedlings, the amount of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, and labor as well as factors that influence increasing production costs, namely jasmine productivity, land rental prices, inorganic fertilizer prices, pesticide prices, and labor wages. The average value of technical efficiency is already efficient, but in terms of allocative and economic efficiency it is not yet efficient. Socioeconomic variables on technical inefficiency have no significant effect, while socioeconomic variables on economic inefficiency have a significant effect, namely formal education and farm business experience.
