Abstract

The productivity of shallot farmers in Demak Regency has decreased in the last two years. The decrease in productivity is thought to be due to inefficiencies in the use of production factors by farmers. Internal factors which are the technical and managerial ability of farmers (age and education) seems to cause farmers to not carry out production activities efficiently. To accelerate the adoption of new technologies and innovations in agriculture and to allocate an available resource optimally, an agricultural extension will be held. This study aims to analyze the influence of production factors (land, labor, seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides) on the production of shallots in Demak Regencythe, achievement of technical efficiency and the influence of age, education, and counseling on the level of inefficiency of shallot farming in Demak Regency. The samples were 99 people. The samples were taken in three districts which were Mijen, Karanganyar, and Gajah. The variables were production (Y), land area (X1), seeds (X2), farm labor (X3), fertilizer (X4), pesticides (X5), age (Z1), education (Z2), and counseling (Z3). The methods of collecting data were obtained from questionnaires, interviews and documentation. The data were analyzed using stochastic frontier analysis. The result showsland, seeds, labor, and pesticides have a positive and significant influence on the production of shallots in Demak Regency. While fertilizer has a negative influence but is not significant.That most shallot farming in Demak Regency (81.81%) is technically efficient. The average of technical efficiency is 0.84. There are negative and significant influences between age and education with the level of inefficiency, while the counseling has a negative effect but it is not significant with the level of inefficiency. The suggestions given are to increase the production, the farmers can add production inputs that have a positive and significant effect on the production of shallots, which are land, seeds, and labor. The farmers need to pay attention to the amount of fertilizer and pesticide input in use. The counselor needs to find and do the right approach in agricultural extension services, so that the level of farmers' participation and confidence increases.
