- Abstract
This study aims to determine the factors that affect rice production and determine the level of economic efficiency of rice farming. The research was conducted in Taman Agung Village, Kalianda Sub-District and Sidorejo Village, Sidomulyo Sub-District, South Lampung Regency with 85 farmers as respondents. The data were analysed by using multiple regression analysis of the stochastic frontier production function Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method with software frontier 4.1. The results showed that the effect on increasing rice production in Lampung Selatan Regency was land area, seed, N fertilizer and liquid pesticides, while those that affected and decreased production were labor. The average levels of technical, economic and allocative efficiency are 0.91; 0.80 and 0.88, respectively. Farmers need to consider the high use of labor so that rice production would increase.
