Abstract
This research aims to analyze: (1) Factors that influence production (2) Level of technical efficiency in soybean farming, and (3) Factors that influence technical inefficiency in soybean farming in Kedung Banjar Village, Lamongan Regency, East Java. The sample taken was 30 people using the purposive sampling method, analyzed using the Stochastic Frontier Model function model, the regression coefficient was calculated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. The results of the research show that (1) Land size, pesticides and labor are variables that greatly influence the increase in soybean production (2) The average level of technical efficiency of the inputs used is 95.8% of the maximum production potential that will be obtained, and (3 ) Age and education of farmers are factors that do not significantly influence the inefficiency of technical efforts to increase soybean production.
