| dc.description.abstract | Seeds have a major role in the agricultural production activities of rice
plants. Breeding of rice seeds is a means to produce quality seeds. The purpose of
this study was to analyze the influence of the production factors of land area, seeds,
labor, fertilizers and pesticides on the production of rice seed breeders and to
analyze the technical, allocative and economic efficiency achievements of rice seed
breeders in Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra Province. The data analysis
method used is the stochastic frontier production function and analysis of technical
efficiency, allocative efficiency, and economic efficiency. The number of samples
using cross sectional data was 50 farmers using the simple random sampling
method. The results of the analysis show that the factors of production of land area
and seeds have a significant positive effect on the production of rice seed raisers,
while the production factors of labour, fertilizers and pesticides have a negative
and insignificant effect on the production of rice seed raisers and rice seed farming
farming has not reached the highest efficiency where all farmers have technically
efficient, the use of production factors for land area and seeds is not allocatively
efficient and the production factors for land area, seeds and pesticides have not
reached the level of economic efficiency | en_US |
