Technical Efficiency Analysis of Organic Rice in Perbaungan District, Serdang Bedagai Regency

The objectives of this study were (1) to analyze the factors that influence the production of organic rice, (2) to analyze the efficiency level of organic rice farming and (3) to analyze the factors that affect the efficiency of organic rice production. The method of determining the research location is purposively. The number of samples was 33 farmers. The data used is during one growing season. The first, second and third hypotheses were analyzed with the Cobb Douglas stochastic frontier analysis production function. The results of the analysis showed that the variables of land area, seeds, and labor had a significant effect on rice production. The results of the calculation of organic rice farming showed an average technical efficiency (ET) of 0.84, and the factors affecting the level of technical efficiency were the dummy position in the farmer group members and the number of training.
