Kinerja dan Ukuran Usahatani Tebu di Kabupaten Malang Jawa Timur
The low productivity of sugarcane in various regions, especially in production centers, has caused domestic sugar production to fluctuate and unable to meet national sugar needs. That is thought to be due to the inefficient use of inputs by sugarcane farmers, lack of access to capital and information, resulting in farmers being unable to provide the latest technology for sugarcane cultivation. The research objective was to analyze the performance of the sugar cane business in Malang Regency by measuring its technical analysis using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. This research was conducted using a survey method of 50 respondent sugarcane farmers in Malang Regency with the multistage random sampling method. The average total technical efficiency (TE CRS) of sugarcane farmers in Malang Regency is 0.766, the average value of pure technical assessment (TE VRS) is 0.829, and the average efficiency scale is 0.926. Farmers who are technically efficient at optimal scale (CRS) of 18% and 82% are not yet at optimal scale. Farmers who are not at an optimal scale are in an IRS condition of 50% and DRS condition of 32%. The result of correlation analysis shows that land areas as a control variable significantly affect the relationship between technical analysis and income, which shows a solid and positive value is 0.415.
