The optimation of farmers families' revenue the integration of Pasundan cattle and paddy farming in West Java
Abstract: This research aimed
to analyze the revenue optimization of farmer family with ratio of the most
ideal farm scale in the integration of Pasundan cattle and paddy farm, and to
analyze the most leveraging production factor towards the family revenue. The
respondents were 94 farmers who had integrated farming between cattle and
paddy. This research used survey method in four regions purposively based on
Pasundan cattle centre. Data were analyzed with linear programming and
production function of Cobb Douglass. The results were: (1) max Z =
-(4,584,841x1+1574260 (x2+x3)) + (6,000,000jx1+4000000 (j x2 +j x3 )); this
function consist of constraints: labour, transfer products between cattle and
paddy farm, transfer fertilizer, capital of paddy farming in planting season-I
and season-II. (2) Yintegration = 15,721,319.75 – 72.541 land – 1.317
fertilizer + 4.667 seeds + 487765.94 farminglabour + 6339170.199 cattlevalue –
935.559 feed + 162618.999 cattlelabour. There were some conclusions: First, the
integration of Pasundan cattle and paddy farming produced the optimum family
revenue/year, with ratio of 6.02 animal unit and 0.5 ha of paddy farming;
Second, the production factor of agricultural land, labour, seeds, feed and
capital (cattle) were explained (R2=87.66%) toward the integration revenue;
Third, the variable which has the contribution to leverage the revenue was the
capital of cattle (81.52%).
