Abstract

Sidrap Regency is one of the areas in South Sulawesi which has very extensive agricultural potential with a regular irrigation system, planting patterns and fairly modern cultivation procedures with a minimum harvest period of 2 times a year and a maximum of 5 times in two years. The importance of the efficiency concept is to optimize the use of production factors in order to obtain maximum and sustainable rice production, so as to increase the income of rice farmers. This research aims to determine the effect of input allocation on production levels and the allocative efficiency of using inputs for lowland rice production in Baranti District, Sidrap Regency. This research was conducted in October 2023. The data used in this research came from primary data and secondary data. The number of respondents used was 99 farmers who were selected using simple random sampling. The analysis used is Cobb Douglas analysis which is transformed into linear multiple regression and allocative efficiency analysis. The research results show that there are 6 (six) variables that have a significant influence on rice production, namely Land Area, Seeds, NPK Fertilizer, Urea Fertilizer, Insecticides, and Harvest Labor. There is one variable that is not significant and has a negative effect, namely the Planting Labor Variable. There are 4 (four) variables that have a positive but not significant effect on rice production, namely herbicides, fertilization workers, land processing workers and plant pest eradication workers. The use of production factors such as land area, seeds, NPK fertilizer, urea fertilizer, insecticides, herbicides, land processing labor, fertilizing labor, pest eradication labor and harvest labor is not yet efficient. Then the combustion labor variable is inefficient.
