| dc.description.abstract | Generally, Indonesian farmer has been doing cabbage
farm (Brassica Oleracea L) from generation to generation, so the use
of production factors cannot be measured exactly. This condition
caused the use of production factors not efficient. Inefficiency also
caused by the high of fertilizer and pesticide price, in fact the capital
of farmer limited. The price of horticultural crops, including
cabbage is fluctuative. Certainly, it will influence the farmer’s
income. The maximum benefit can be received by the allocation of
production factors right. The research purposes to (1) analyze
production factors that influence cabbage production, (2) assess the
allocative efficiency of use of cabbage production factors, (3) assess
the feasibility of cabbage farming. Research was done purposively
in the Panti District, Jember Regency, East Java Province,
Indonesia. Research method used was descriptive and analytic. The
total of samples were 38 cabbage farmers that determined by
proportional random sampling. The analytical tools used were CobbDouglass,
linear regression, allocative efficiency and the R/C ratio.
Research results produced a model Cobb-Douglass production

) are affect
the production of cabbage on the significance of 10%. The partial,
factors that significantly affect the production of cabbage are land,
urea, pesticides and labour, while the factors that insignificantly
affected the production of cabbage are seeds and NPK. Use of land,
urea, pesticides, and labour have not reached allocative efficiency.
The value of R/C ratio is 2.43. It means that cabbage farm is
efficient in the use of cost; cabbage farm deserves to be continued. | en_US |
