Efisiensi Alokatif Penggunaan Faktor Produksi pada Usahatani Cengkeh di Desa Sawahan Kecamatan Sawahan Kabupaten Nganjuk

Abstract

Clove is a plantation commodity that has export value, where this commodity is widely lused as a raw material for the kretek manufacturing industry so that it has the potential to be developed. Clove farmers in Sawahan Village experienced several obstacles in conducting farming which affected production. These problems include sub-optimal fertilization, attacks by plant-disturbing organisms, minimal labor requirements and fluctuations in the selling price of cloves. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence production, the level of allocative efficiency and value of return to scale resulting from the use of clove production factors. The data analysis used is multiple linear regression with the Cobb-Douglas function approach and allocative efficiency analysis with the marginal product value (NMPxi) approach. The results showed that the production factors that significantly influenced clove production were labor (X5), plant age (X6)
