Farmer investment into biosecurity on broiler and layer farms in Bali

This paper measures the cost of implementing biosecurity on broiler and layer farms in Bali. Farmer investment in biosecurity is analysed to determine if there is any difference in the implementation of biosecurity between broiler and layer farms. Data is taken from a survey of 60 layer and 60 broiler smallholder farmers in Bali in 2009. While secure boundary fencing and farm gate locks are more common on layer farms, broiler producers are more likely to have a footbaths at the shed door. In this analysis, biosecurity investments include the quality of fencing and gates, presence of locks on gates, management changes required to minimise staff and visitor movement onto and in the farm, costs of minimising vehicle entry, use of vaccination and disinfectant, chlorination of water and quality of the chicken shed. Defining the relationships between present investment decisions and farm type, size and mortality rates will provide useful information to decision makers concerning the cost-effective levels of biosecurity that should be adopted by smallholder farmers in Bali. In Bali, decision makers are not only the individual farmers but also the government and private companies.biosecurity, poultry, investment, Bali, Farm Management,

Distribution of Gains from Cattle Development in a Multi-Stage Production System: The Case of the Bali Beef Industry

Beef production in Bali is dominated by smallholders, just like the majority of Indonesian agriculture. A wide range of policies has been implemented to enhance development of the Bali beef industry. Knowledge about the distribution of the returns from the development of the cattle industry, including marketing, informs decision making. This paper examines the benefits from cattle development in a multi-stage production representation of the Bali beef industry using equilibrium displacement modelling (EDM). Benefits are measured as changes in economic surplus. The distribution of benefits among farmers, processors and retailers is also examined.beef production, government policy, EDM, economic surplus., Agricultural and Food Policy,

Technical Efficiency and Economies of Scale for Partnership- Based of Virginia Tobacco Farming in Buleleng, Bali, Indonesia: A Non-parametric Approach

In operating their farms, Virginia tobacco farmers establish partnerships with a number of companies, such as Company GG and Company BB. The level of tobacco production efficiency obtained is considered to be dependent on the experiences of the partner companies. This study aims to analyze the technical efficiency and the economies of scale of Virginia tobacco farming in Buleleng regency, Bali. Employing a survey method, census was conducted on a total of 87 respondents. Data was analyzed using a non-parametric approach, with a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. Results show that based on planting location and acreage, the technical efficiency of Company GG partners is relatively higher than that of Company BB. The efficiency scale (SE = 1) revealed that farmers participating under the Company GG partnership is relatively more efficient compared to Company BB farmers. Further, the economies of scale score based on planting location show that the majority of Company GG farmers experience constant return to scale (CRS) category, while most Company BB farmers fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRC) category. A slightly different result is displayed by the economies of scale analysis based on acreage, where the majority of Company GG farmers with up to 4 ha of planting area is under the increasing return to scale (IRS), while farmers with >4 ha to 6 ha of planting area is under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. For Company BB farmers with up to 2 ha of planting area, 50% are experiencing constant return to scale (CRS) and 50% are experiencing increasing return to scale (IRS). Meanwhile, those who have >2 ha up to 6 ha, fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. Keywords: efficiency, Virginia tobacco, partnership, data envelopment analysis, Bal

Realizing Regional Food Security Through Community Food Business Development in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia

This study aims to formulate a regional food security model based on the relationship between characteristics of the area of production, consumption and entrepreneurship with the performance of community food business development (PUPM) in the Province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The research sample consisted of 93 rice farmers, 96 rice consumers and 30 business people representing the Association of Farmers' Groups (Gapoktan) and the Indonesian Farmers Shop (TTI) owners, accounting for the total respondents to 219 people. Data analysis was using Smart-PLS. The results of the analysis show that the performance of the PUPM in NTT which is influenced by the characteristics of the production, consumption and entrepreneurship areas has only been achieved at a sufficient level. The analysis also shows that the new PUPM activities in NTT are able to fulfill aspects of access and stability, while the availability aspect is still very small. Nevertheless, this study has proven that the regional food security model in NTT can be realized through community food business development activities

Rice Productivity Growth During Nine Years in Badung Regency, Bali Province

The trend of rice productivity and its stability in Badung Regency are presented in this study. The area is a tourism-based economy without leaving the role of rice production to feed the people.  Time series data were collected from five sub districts covering 53 villages during 2008-2016 due to the completeness of the data. Variability of the data was observed from the coefficient of variance (C.V.) to decide rice productivity stability. This study also observed correlation between rainfall and rice productivity in the area. Result of the study shows that rice productivity trend in Badung Regency tend to decline during nine years of observation especially in 2014-2016. Three sub-districts had stable condition, while two sub-districts in tourism area contributed to the decline of this matter. Analysis using bi-plot revealed that there is no significant correlation between rainfall in sub-district and rice productivity, implying that water is available throughout the year.  In terms of stability, majority of villages (69.81%) had stable condition of rice productivity ranging from middle and high category. Other 30.19% villages were categorized as unstable ranging from low to high productivity. This condition showed that Badung Regency were able to maintain stability of rice productivity during nine years of observation. Implication of this study is to pay more attention to two sub districts in tourism area to improve their rice productivity such as implementation of good agricultural practices

Risk Mitigation for Rice Production Through Agricultural Insurance: Farmer’s Perspectives

Rice farming is susceptible to failure due to several risks including natural disasters of flood and drought as well as pest and disease attacks. Risk mitigation such as agricultural insurance is required to cope with the risks. This study aims to portray rice production risks to failure and farmer’s perception on the implementation of agricultural insurance in Bali province. Three regencies were selected purposively based on the area insured. A survey was conducted to 180 respondents who paid for the agricultural insurance (AUTP). Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis and chi-square test. Results of the research show that most rice farming risks to failure in Bali were blast and rat attacks. In terms of agricultural insurance implementation, all farmers accept the program as a mitigation risk to bridge rice farming failure. However, most farmers (85 %) asked for fully support of premium subsidy from the government while the rest agreed to pay for a-20 % of the premium. The result from the Chi-square test shows insignificant, implying that the distribution of farmers’ perception towards full subsidy of agricultural insurance is indifferent across locations. Implication of the study noted that the government and insurer need to socialize the agricultural insurance program more intensively covering premium payment, coverage and claiming.Keywords: production risk, agricultural insurance, farmer’s perception, AUTP, Chi-square</p
