Abstract

Farming shifting is one of the cultivation strategies to find the ideal environment. Shifting agriculture is caused by limited knowledge of farmers on environmental conditions for growing plants. This study aims to describe the input variables and shifting cultivation management on the efficiency of potato farming. The research method used is descriptive statistics. The study involved 51 potato farmers in Minyeimemut and Arion villages of Hingk sub-district, Manokwari District, West Papua, Indonesia. Potato commodities cultivated by Arfak farmers are still using a shifting cultivation system. Analysis of the data by quantitative descriptive method with the help of Frontier 4.1 software and the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) approach to reduce the stochastic frontier cost function. The results showed that the average potato production was 296.08 Kg/Season. The average area of land cultivated by farmers is 0.15 Ha, the average use of seeds is 44.41 kg, and the average workforce is 33.08 Working Days (HOK). The cultivation activities of potato farmers show 4.33 years of shifting. Economic efficiency shows potato farming of 0.08548 which means it has a fairly economical category.

转变种植管理，提高马铃薯农场的经济效益

农业转移是寻找理想环境的栽培策略之一。农业转移是由于农民对种植植物的环境条件了解有限。本研究旨在描述马铃薯种植效率的输入变量和轮作管理。所使用的研究方法是描述性统计。这项研究涉及印度尼西亚西巴布亚Manokwari区Hingk街道Minyeimemut和Arion村的51名马铃薯农民。阿尔法克农民种植的马铃薯商品仍在使用轮作制。借助Frontier 4.1软件和最大似然估计（MLE）方法，通过定量描述性方法对数据进行分析，以减少随机前沿成本函数。结果表明，马铃薯平均产量为296.08公斤/季。农民的平均耕地面积为0.15公顷，种子的平均使用量为44.41公斤，平均劳动力为33.08个工作日。马铃薯种植户的种植活动经历了4.33年的转变。经济效益显示马铃薯种植为0.08548，这意味着它是一个相当经济的类别。
