ABSTRACT
Shallot is consumed daily by most Indonesian people and produced by small farmers. The important factor to maintain shallot production in Indonesia is technical efficiency. This paper aims to examine efficiency of shallot production by using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The data comes from a structured survey of 380 shallot households in Brebes, Central Java. Results from this study will inform the factors affecting shallots production, Risk Productivity and technical inefficiency, measuring the level of technical efficiency and economic efficiency. This can be useful for government to formulate strategies in maintaining and even improving shallot production that will in turn reduce productivity risk of shallot in Indonesia. The results show Female Paid Labor input and adhesive have a negative effect on productivity while seeds have a positive effect on productivity. Male family labor input can reduce risk while adhesive increases the risk of shallot farming productivity. ZA fertilizer can reduce technical inefficiencies. The level of technical efficiency of shallots by 89.72 percent, the level of allocation efficiency by 74.38 percent and the level of economic efficiency by 66.75 percent. Social factors that influence the technical inefficiency of shallots are private extension dummy which has a negative effect
