FAKTOR-FAKTOR PENENTU EFISIENSI TEKNIS USAHATANI JAGUNG LAHAN KERING: STUDI KASUS DI KABUPATEN KUPANG PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR, INDONESIA

The research has been conducted in Kupang District of Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, focusing of maize dryland farming of small holders. Main problem of maize dryland farming is low productivity and high inefficiency. Objectives of the research are to know small holders maize farming income, factors influence production and technical efficiency of maize dryland farming systems. Questioner survey method was used to collect data. Thecnical Efficiency Effect model of translog production function were used to analyzed data. Results showed that, firstly, farmer’s maize income per ha is low (19,01%) compared to its potential income. Secondly, maize farming production system is mostly efficient that is 74% of total farms. Factors that important to influence maize productivity efficiently are land, seed, labour, and interaction between those factors. Thirdly,factors as sources of maize production inefficiency are farming experience and number of family members. Improving productivity and technical efficiency of small dryland maize farming should be focused on the two last factors in order to enhance famers food security during the year

ANALISIS RISIKO PRODUKSI USAHATANI JAGUNG MANIS (Zea Mays Saccharata L.) DI KECAMATAN KUPANG TIMUR KABUPATEN KUPANG

Corn is a strategic food commodity in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of risk of sweet corn farming production and to determine the factors that influence production and the factors of risk to sweet corn farming production. The method used in this study was a survey method. The method was determined randomly. The data were obtained through intervi ews with 43 maize farmers randomly. The analysis method used was the coefficient of variation analysis and multiple linear analysis. The results showed the risk of maize farming production with moderate maize production factors was land area, fertilizer, labor, experience and pesticide with a risk level of 1% <CV 2%. The coefficient of variation in land area (0.1%), fertilizer (0.1), labor (0.1), experience (0.1) and pesticide (0.1) when compared with other production risk factors. Is the real land area and seed at alpha 5%. The source of the production risk at influence by pesticide where the pesticide variable with a coefficient value of 0.437 and a probability value of 0.001. So that the increase in the amount of pesticides has a significant effect on the risk of corn farming production

PELATIHAN PENGEMASAN DAN DESAIN KEMASAN PRODUK PADA KELOMPOK TANI UIMATKULI DAN MOENFEU

Hortikultura menjadi salah satu komoditas yang banyak diusahakan oleh petani di Indonesia, salah satunya adalah Kelompok Tani Uimatkuli dan Moenfeu di Kabupaten Kupang yang membudidayakan tanaman kelor dan pare. Hasil panen sebagian diolah menjadi keripik pare dan stik kelor. Kualitas produk akan terjaga apabila dikemas dengan baik karena proses pengemasan bertujuan untuk melindungi produk dari berbagai penyebab kerusakan. Desain kemasan menjadi hal yang harus diperhatikan karena berfungsi sebagai media komunikasi kepada konsumen dan berpengaruh terhadap nilai jual dan citra produk. Pentingnya pengemasan dan desain kemasan dalam memasarkan produk belum dipahami oleh anggota Kelompok Tani Uimatkuli dan Moenfeu karena keterbatasan permodalan dan wawasan. Oleh karena itu dilakukan pengabdian dengan metode pendidikan masyarakat dan pelatihan. Metode pendidikan masyarakat dilakukan dengan memberikan sosialisasi mengenai pentingnya pengemasan dan desain kemasan, sementara metode pelatihan dilakukan dengan demonstrasi atau percontohan menggunakan alat dan bahan yang diperlukan dalam proses pengemasan. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah seluruh anggota Kelompok Tani Uimatkuli dan Moenfeu memiliki wawasan dan keterampilan mengenai pengemasan dan desain kemasan. Adanya inovasi pengemasan dan desain kemasan yang dilakukan diharapkan dapat menarik lebih banyak konsumen, meningkatkan penjualan, dan pada akhirnya berdampak pada peningkatan kesejahteraan anggota kelompok tani
