Abstract

This study aims at analyzing farmer’s level of technical efficiency in the use of factors of production and the factors affecting the level of technical inefficiency. It was conducted in Tasikmalaya Regency as a centre for organic rice in Indonesia with both national and international certifications. The sample of the study was 117 people selected by a multistage random sampling. The data used were both primary and secondary data. The data analysis was carried out by the computer program Frontier 4.1 with a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier model. The results of the study show that the variables that partially had significant effect on organic rice production were land size, seeds, and labors, while the variables that did not have significant effect on organic rice production were manure, liquid fertilizer, and vegetable pesticide. The mean value of technical efficiency among organic rice farmers was 0.89, meaning that the current organic rice production is inefficient yet but the remaining 11% is an opportunity to increase the production. The variables with significant effect on the inefficient production were farmers’ experience and status. The variables of age, education, and family members did not have significant effect
