Abstract
This study applied the Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) to estimate the level of technical efficiency and analyze determinants of technical inefficiency of paddy farming in Java Island, Indonesia. The data of this study are based on the cost structure survey in paddy farming conducted by the Central Statistical Bureau of the Republic of Indonesia in 2008. The study area are consists of three districts of paddy producer in Java Island, namely East Java, Central Java and West Java. The results showed that the average of technical efficiency in East Java province is 0.851. Meanwhile, in Central Java and West Java are 0.836 and 0.805 respectively. Farmers’ income has a negative and significant effect on technical inefficiency. On the other hand, the age of farmers, sources of financing and land size have a positive and significant effect on technical inefficiency. Further, the effect of other variables such as formal education, government assistance and drought and flood disasters on the technical inefficiency are varied between areas.
