Ismatul Hidayah, Nuhfil Hanani, Ratya Anindita, Budi Setiawan
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of production and cost efficiency on paddy farming system with integrated plant and resource management (IPRM) approach in Buru District Maluku Province. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method was used to estimate parameters in both frontier stochastic models. 120 respondents was determined by using simple random sampling method. The empirical finding shows that the varies of the error term in both models are mostly influence by inefficiency factors (γ production= 0.933; γ cost = 0.948) rather than stochastic factors. The average technical efficiency is 0.855 and 75.83% respondent already operates in this level of efficiency. The average cost efficiency is 0.86 and 80% of respondent already achieve this level of cost efficiency. These findings indicate that rice farming system with integrated plant and resource management approach in the research area are efficient and profitable.

Abstract
Many studies conclude that the rise in global food prices due to higher demand from the development of bio- fuels, climate anomalies, and increased of oil prices. Not only the food commodity index rose more than 60 percent, non- food commodity price index also rose over 60 percent and crude oil price index has increased even further above 60 percent. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of bio-ethanol conversion and global climate change on corn economic performance of Indonesia. The results showed that the food crisis caused by climate anomalies lead the world corn prices rose 50 percent, impact on Indonesia corn imports fell by 11.86 percent. And the other hand, the energy crisis that caused the corn used as feedstock for ethanol that caused U.S. corn exports only 20 percent of their products have an impact on Indonesia on maize imports fell 32.4 percent

Abstract
Paddy farmer household at Lebak swampland are poor because of low income. Efforts to increase household paddy farmer’s income in Lebak swampland are always associated associated with the economic factor as price; subsidies and expansion area (extensification). This study aims to analyze the impact of economic factors change on farm household incomes in the Lebak swampland. Data is analyzed by using agricultural economic household models, with simultaneous equations. The results showed that the increase in input prices of paddy (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor outside the family) would decrease farmer household income. The increased of input price followed by an increased in paddy output price in same proportion were able to increase farm households income. Seed subsidies are also able to increase the household income. In contrast; paddy area expansion or extensification would decrease household income. Therefore, the expansion program option at lebak swampland is not priority choice.

Abstract
Cattlemen allocate labor on their cattle business. These activities have contributed further to the family income used to meet household needs. Besides the beef business, they seek food crops such as rice, corn, peanuts and so forth to obtain additional income. The breeders utilized the technology of artificial insemination and natural mating in the beef cattle production. The usage of insemination technology was expected to increase the income derived from the beef cattle that will result in increasing the investments and the income of farming food crops. The objectives of this study were to analyze the correlating factors that affect the farmers’ income from the cattle business and farming crops under condition of the usage of artificial insemination technology and to analyze the effects of the external factor changing toward the profits of beef cattle business, the costs of cattle production , the cost of crop production, food crops farm income, animal health costs and the cost of the barn with the condition of the artificial technology usage. The measurement technology of the artificial insemination used the cost inseminator approach. This research was a case study of 70 cattlemen in the village of Kanonang III Minahasa District selected by random sampling. Model of simultaneous equations with the method of 2 SLS were used to estimate all the parameters of the study. The result of these research showed that the economic model of cattlemen can be explain in relation to the use of artificial insemination with income and costs of production in cattle and farm crops as well. The effect of external factor on cattlemen household’s economy was that 10% increasing of inseminator cost was the best alternative scenario that can increase the income of cattle business with 7.48%, beef production cost 0.17%, food plant production cost 5.32%, income of food plant business 4.56%, cattle medication cost 4.52% and cage cost 2.27%. These results indicated that the artificial insemination technology could improve economics performance of cattlemen.

The Impact of Trade Liberalization on the Soybean Economic Performance in Indonesia
Muhammad Firdaus, M. Iksan Semaoen, Nuhfil Hanani AR, Syafrial
ABSTRACT
This study intended to analyze the impact of trade liberalization on Indonesia soybean economic performance. Econometric model of Indonesia soybean economy was built through the simultaneous equations system. Parameter estimation was Two Stage Least Square method (2SLS). Forecasting performance and the formulation of policy alternatives was done by using the ex-ante simulation. The results showed as follow: (1) the main producers and exporters of soybeans are the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina, while the main soybean importer are China, Japan, and Germany, (2) full liberalization of world trade causes the rise of world soybean imports, and the reduced of world soybean exports cause the world soybean prices increase. For Indonesia, although the world soybean prices rise, but due to the implementation of full trade liberalization the price of imported soybeans become cheaper and resulting in falling prices and rising imports, and (3) the increased China imports and the decline in U.S. soybean production has increased the world soybean prices. For Indonesia, raising the world soybean prices led to rising soybean import prices so domestic prices of soybean rises and soybean imports decline.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this research was to analyze interrelation between factors affecting the economic behavior of cattle farmers in the utilizing of artificial insemination technology as well as natural mating and the impact of changes in external factors on household economic. The measurement of artificial insemination technology used the cost of inseminator approach. This research used survey method in order to gain and collect any information of 100 households randomly chosen. Simultaneous equation model and 2SLS method were employed in estimating all research parameters. The results, eventually, showed that economic model of household established can well describe the interrelation between the utilization of artificial insemination technology and natural mating with the economic trait of household. Moreover, the artificial insemination technology and natural mating actually showed an impact on value added of cattle business and subsequently significantly affect the usage of family labor, the cost of forage crops, cattle health cost, cost of stable, cattle selling value, production value of manure, rent out value of stud and value of unsold cattle. Farmer’s income significantly influence on food consumption, non-food consumption and family saving. Then, the simulation of increasing utilization of artificial insemination technology of 25% combined with the increasing of natural mating as well as cultivated land area of 25% was the best impact toward the household economic of traditional cattle farmers.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of sugar import tariffs changes since the tariff
import is the only policy to increase the sugar domestic production. This analysis is
performed using a CGE (computable general equilibrium) model of Indonesian economy in
2008. Results showed that the increases of sugar import tariff have some different
conclusions. If sugar tariff import will rise to 41.6% and to 50%, the domestic output of sugar
will increase about 1.89% and 3.77%; and household welfare would increase about 0.52 and
0.76%, respectively. But when the sugar import tariff is removed, domestic output of sugar
and sugarcane have not changed, but the agricultural sector would reduce and income of all
agents would decrease. Thus, the relevant tariff depends on the purpose of the government
whether to increase domestic output and import or export of certain sectors, and the welfare
of producers or consumers.
