Efficiency Analysis of Cabbage Production in Lombok Island

Abstract

The horticulture sub-sector occupies a strategic position in agricultural development. The development of horticultural production from year to year is quite fluctuating. An important function of this sub-sector is a source of income for the population. One of the most potential cabbage plants on Lombok Island is East Lombok Regency with the highest production amount of 59,300 tons and a land area of 338 hectares where cabbage is produced. Statistics of Horticultural Crop Production in West Nusa Tenggara Province in 2020 show that the area of land and cabbage production in NTB fluctuates. This study uses a descriptive method carried out in East Lombok Regency, selected from 3 villages as the sample area by purvosive sampling because it has the highest number of production. This research was conducted by Quota sampling with the number of respondents selected as many as 45 people and from each District 15 respondents were taken. The types of data in this study are quantitative data and qualitative data. The analysis used in this research is analysis, descriptive, ANOVA, LSD, Coob-Douglas production function analysis, economic efficiency, technical efficiency, and economic efficiency. From the analysis results show, quantitative data, namely the data obtained in the form of numbers and qualitative data, namely the data obtained. The average production level of cabbage farming is 19 tons/ha and the average production in the lowlands, medium plains and highlands in East Lombok Regency is significantly and significantly different. The factors that significantly affect cabbage production in East Lombok Regency are seeds and fertilizers. The use of production factors is technically efficient while allocative efficiency and prices for land area, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor are not efficient because >1. This means that there must be additional use of production factors from land area, fertilizer, and labor.
