Risk Associated with Corn Farming in Madura Island

Corn play an essential role in providing food and feed for living things in Madura Island and other parts of the country. More than 80% of the Madura Island farmer, plant this commodity, thereby, making it a productive farming activity in this region. However, its level of productivity is still below average due to the farmers' risk preference. This research, therefore, aims to analyze the risk preferences and inputallocation used in corn farming. The multistage sampling was used to collect data from a total of 120 people in Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep Regencies located in Madura, while the Kumbhakar parametric model was used to analyze risks. The results showed that farmers are in the Risk Averse category due to poor utilization of seeds, manure, labor, and NPK fertilizer, compared to the recommended level of usage

Linkage of Technical Efficiency and Farmer Risk Behaviour of Shallot Manjung Variety Production

Pojanan Village of Pamekasan District is wellknown as central producer for Manjung Variety of shallot. This variety has advantages such as high productivity, drought-resistant, pests and diseases resistant, fragrant aroma, and savory taste. However, there is low productivity problem that doesnot meet maximum potential expectation. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the level of technical efficiency, farmers risk behavior, and interrelations between both issues. There were 42 respondents and the study involved analysis methods such us Cobb Douglass function by Stochastic Frontier approach, descriptive quantitative by Likert Scale, and Pearson Correlation. The result showed that average level of technical efficiency was about 77% with 40.5% neutral farmers risk behaviour and no significant relationship between technical efficiency and farmers risk behavior. Keywords: risk behavior, shallot production, technical efficiencyDesa Pojanan Barat Kabupaten Pamekasan dikenal sebagai sentra produksi bawang merah, Varietas Manjung.
