- Abstract
The research objective was to determine Banggai yam farming system, its fertility and its technical efficiency in Central Sulawesi of Indonesia. A random sampling method was used to select 130 household farmer respondents living accros 11 villages in South Buko. Data collected included cultivated land area size, seeds, labors, stand number, production and other data such as land selection, clearing techniques, and local wisdom based cultivating practices. Soil samples were taken from a land under Banggai yam cultivation and 1 – 4 year fallowed lands. The Soil were analyzed for pH, carbon organic (SOC), total N, available phosphorous and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC). The technical efficiency was determined using Frontier Production Function analysis. Results showed that the Banggai yam farming system is a shifting cultivation with no external inputs. The soil nutrients tends to increase with increasing fallow periods. The productivity of the farming system cannot be improved with its current technology but with more advanced technology input suitable to the local environment and the local wisdom.
