Abstract

Increasing rice productivity and quality
is sustainable efforts carried out continually. Socio-economic farmer’s
characteristics, profits and efficiency study in using production inputs on
rice farming was successfully carried out using survey method from 30 farmers
with structured questionnaire sampled randomly in Jetis sub-district,
Karanganyar district, Central Java. Data analysis was done using descriptive
statistics, profit analysis and production function. The results showed that
rice farming at Karanganyar district, uniquely, was supported by productive age
of farmers with more than 20 years’ experiences and 86.7% of family labor.
Revenue cost ratio (RCR) of the rice farming was high up to 2.26 mainly
influenced by farm size, urea fertilizer and labor. Though the rice farming had
high RCR, the farming was still backed up by not efficient yet and inefficient
status of production inputs, except labor. Collaboration of farmers, local-national
government and utilization of technologies is recommended to improve the rice
farming.
