RISIKO PRODUKSI PADI SEMIORGANIK DAN ANORGANIK

Introduction

Risiko produksi padi semiorganik dan anorganik. Analisis risiko produksi padi semiorganik & anorganik di Kediri. Temukan perbandingan variasi produktivitas & bagaimana petani tetap terhindar dari risiko.

Abstract

Kecamatan Papar Kabupaten Kediri menjadi salah satu kecamatan yang telah menerapkan aktivitas usahatani semi organik dan anorganik. Perbedaaan besaran produktivitas pada usahatani padi semi organik dan anorganik menunjukkan bahwa adanya penambahan bahan organik kedalam aktivitas usahatani memberikan hasil yang positif.  Namun, pergeseran aktivitas usahatani dari anorganik menuju semi organik belum banyak dilakukan oleh petani setempat. Analisis risiko produksi perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan variasi produktivitas yang dihasilkan dari usahatani padi semi organik dan anorganik. Hasil analisis menunjukkan rentang batas bawah dan batas atas produktivitas usahatani semi organik lebih besar yang menunjukkan potensi risiko yang lebih besar. Keragaman yang besar memiliki peluang risiko yang lebih besar pula. Hasil perhitungan ragam dan standar deviasi memperlihatkan bahwa usahatani padi semiorganik di Kecamatan Papar Kabupaten Kediri memiliki tingkat keragaman yang lebih besar dibandingkan usahatani padi anorganik. Walaupun demikian, nilai koefisien variasi dari usahatani padi semiorganik maupun anorganik kurang dari batas risiko sehingga dinyatakan petani terhindar dari risiko

Review

This study investigates the production risk associated with semi-organic and inorganic rice farming systems in Papar District, Kediri Regency, a region noted for its adoption of both practices. The abstract highlights an observed positive impact of organic matter on productivity, yet acknowledges the slow uptake of semi-organic methods by local farmers. To address this disparity, the research employs a production risk analysis, aiming to quantify the differences in productivity variation between the two systems. This timely topic is crucial for understanding the barriers to sustainable agricultural transitions and providing empirical insights for farmers and policymakers. The core findings indicate that semi-organic rice farming exhibits a greater range and higher variability in productivity, as evidenced by larger variance and standard deviation values compared to inorganic methods. This suggests a potentially higher inherent production risk for semi-organic practices. However, a significant concluding point is that despite this greater variability, the coefficient of variation (CV) for both semi-organic and inorganic systems was found to be below a predetermined risk threshold. This implies that, based on this specific metric, farmers employing either system are deemed to be effectively shielded from substantial production risk. The abstract successfully identifies a key dilemma and attempts to quantify an aspect of it, providing a quantitative basis for discussion. While the study provides valuable insights into production risk, the abstract would benefit from further elaboration on the methodology, particularly regarding the determination of the "risk threshold" for the coefficient of variation – its basis and implications for interpretation. Future research could expand upon this by integrating other dimensions of risk, such as market risk (price volatility) and financial risk (input costs, profit margins), which are often critical in farmers' decision-making processes. Furthermore, a deeper exploration into the socio-economic factors and perceptions influencing farmers' reluctance to transition, beyond just perceived production risk, would strengthen the applicability of the findings for developing targeted extension services and policy interventions aimed at promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.
