Analisis Good Agricultural Practices Dan Efisiensi Produksi Usahatani Sagu Di Provinsi Riau
IDA PUTRI YANI, NIM. 2210246707, Analysis of Good Agricultural Practices and Production Efficiency of Sago Farming in Riau Province, supervised by Djaimi Bakce and Syaiful Hadi.
Sago is one of the alternative foods that has great potential as a source of carbohydrates, has high nutritional value and fiber content. Sago can be processed into various kinds of food products such as sago flour, sago noodles, cakes, sohun, sugar and so on. The use of sago as a food source can help maintain national food security, especially in areas that have limited access to the distribution of staple foods such as rice. Sago can grow on marginal land that is not suitable for other food crops and is not affected by climate and weather. However, the main problem of sago until now is still managed traditionally, without applying good cultivation techniques. In general, sago farmers in Riau Province do not take care of and maintain sago plants, so it affects sago productivity. This study aims to: First, determine the level of application of good sago cultivation techniques in Riau Province. Second, calculating the income of sago farming in Riau Province. Third, analyze the dominant factors affecting sago production in Riau Province. Fourth, analyze the level of efficiency of sago farming production in Riau Province.
This research was carried out in Riau Province. The population in this study is sago farmers in Riau Province. The sampling method is non-probability sampling, with purposive sampling techniques. Sago farmer samples were taken from two sago-producing districts in Riau Province, namely Indragiri Hilir Regency and Meranti Islands Regency where each district took 30 samples so that in total the sample of sago farmers in Riau Province was 60 samples. The data analysis techniques carried out are gap analysis or gap analysis, income analysis, production factor analysis and production efficiency analysis with two approaches, namely deterministic and stochastic. The deterministic approach uses the data envelopment analysis method and the stochastic approach uses the Cobb-Douglas production function.
The results of the study show that good agricultural practices (GAP) of sago cultivation in Riau Province are seen from nine types of sago cultivation techniques according to Bintoro et al. (2010). Generally, sago farmers in Riau Province apply sago cultivation techniques that are not in accordance with the principles of good agricultural practices. The application of appropriate good agricultural practices principles is only at the stage of seed selection, land preparation, planting, and harvesting. Meanwhile, related to plant maintenance activities such as fertilization, pest and disease control, thinning of saplings and water management, tend not to be in accordance with the principles of good agricultural practices. The income of sago farming in Riau Province is much lower than the Provincial Minimum Wage. The sago harvesting and post-harvest process is still carried out manually. It requires a large workforce and relatively expensive wages starting from logging to transporting sago tual to the sago processing factory.
The use of production factors in sago farming in Riau Province is only limited to the use of harvest area and the number of workers. Meanwhile, the production factor of the number of sago plant clumps was not taken into account because a correlation was found between independent variables. Production efficiency analysis shows that technically sago farmers in Riau Province are efficient in the use of labor and not efficient in utilizing the harvest area. So it is necessary to increase the harvested area used and/or by planting sago using regular planting distances with an equilateral triangle system so that the number of clumps to expand the sago harvest increases. Meanwhile, allocatively and economically, sago farmers in Riau Province are inefficient. The relatively small number of plant clumps and relatively high land prices make the use of harvest area inefficient allocatively. Although labor allocation is technically efficient, allocatively and economically, labor allocation is inefficient. Where the costs used for labor are relatively large, so to achieve efficiency it is necessary to reduce the allocation of labor costs.
