PERILAKU PETANI CABAI RAWIT TERHADAP RESIKO FLUKTUASI HARGA DI KECAMATAN GUMUKMAS KABUPATEN JEMBER
ABSTRACT: This study was aimed
to determine the farmer’s behaviour in face of risk as result of pepper’s price
fluctuation in Gumukmas District, Jember Regency. There are three criterias in
farmer’s behavior : risk lover, risk neutral, and risk averter. Thirty-nine
farmers was selected by using simple randomsampling. The utility function was
employed to determine farmer’s behaviour. In this research, utility unction
with Bernoulli and Neuman -Morgerstern technique was used. This specifcation
wasmodifed with neutral probability (50:50). Estimation on this function was
done by using uncertaintyequivalent (CE) through quadratic estimation. The
result showed that arround 33 farmers (84.62%)are risk neutral. The risk
averter are 5 farmers (11.52%) and one farmer (2.56%) is risk lover. This result
also showed that farmers with own land ownership status were more daring than
farmers whoown land tenure status, proft sharing, or farmers who have two land
ownership status. Other resultsindicated that the farmers who pursued local
pepperwere more daring than the farmers who pursued hybrid pepper or farmers
who persuedlocal and hybrid at once.
