Abstract

Abstract Most soybean farming in Indonesia is still performed conventionally. Farmers are less interested in cultivating soybeans because the production yields are relatively small. This research aims to determine the factors influencing production, production inefficiency of soybean, and the technical efficiency (TE) and economic efficiency (EE) level of soybean farming. Primary data were collected using a survey method of soybean farmers in paddy field areas in the Tabanan Regency of Bali Province, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the stochastic frontier approach using the Frontier 4.1 analysis tool. Factors that positively affected the increasing soybean production were land area, urea and NPK fertilizers, and soybean seeds. The factor positively affecting soybean production inefficiency was a farming experience. The average TE value was 0.77, implying that soybean farming in the study area was efficient. However, the EE value below 0.70 implied that soybean farming was inefficient. Based on soybean farmers’ farming experience, TE and EE values were getting lower. The low value of EE was suspected of causing farmers’ low interest in cultivating soybean.

印度尼西亚大豆(Glycine max L. Merr.)种植的生产要素、技术和经济效率

印度尼西亚的大部分大豆种植仍然采用传统方式。农民对种植大豆不太感兴趣，因为产量相对较小。本研究旨在确定大豆生产的影响因素、大豆的生产效率低下以及大豆种植的技术效率(TE)和经济效率(EE)水平。采用调查方法对印度尼西亚巴厘省塔巴南县水田地区种植大豆的农民进行了初步资料收集。数据分析采用随机前沿法，采用frontier 4.1分析工具。影响大豆增产的正向因子是土地面积、尿素和氮磷钾肥料、大豆种子。对大豆生产效率低下产生积极影响的因素是农业经验。平均TE值为0.77，表明研究区大豆种植效率较高。而EE值低于0.70则表明大豆种植效率低下。根据大豆农民的种植经验，TE和EE值越来越低。低EE值被怀疑是造成农民对种植大豆兴趣不高的原因。
