ANALISIS EKONOMI RUMAHTANGGA PETANI TANAMAN PANGAN DI PROVINSI LAMPUNG
Abstract: Agricultural sector
still plays a strategic and dominant role in employment, although the structure
of employment is dominated by small-scale farmers where their labor
productivity is about 25.0 percent of the non-agricultural sector. The target
of agricultural development (Agricultural Revitalization) is the farm
household. Therefore, it is interesting to study the farm household economic
behavior, especially the farm households that cultivate food crop in Lampung
Province. The objective of this study is to analyze the structure and economic
behavior of the farm households in the villages that planted food crops (rice
and cassava) in Lampung Province. The analytical methods used in this paper
were tabulation analysis, test of differences (Duncan’s test) and econometric
methods using simultaneous equations.
The results showed that the income structure of rice village mainly came
from agriculture, whereas that of cassava village came from non-agriculture.
The use of family labor to earn living has not fulfilled the Central Statistics
Bureau criteria for fulltime workers, even though it has met the criteria of
food security. In the rice village, the investment (education and health
expenditures) and saving of the farm households were influenced significantly
by and responsive against the agricultural income, whereas consumption was
influenced by the number of family members. On the other hand, in the cassava
village, investment (education and health expenditures) and saving of the farm
households were influenced by and responsive relatively against the non agricultural
income and total income, whereas consumption also are influenced by the non
agricultural income and the number of family members, although not responsive.
Keywords: farm household
