DAMPAK PENGGUNAAN VARIETAS UNGGUL TERHADAP DISTRIBUSI PENDAPATAN PETANI JAGUNG DI KALIMANTAN BARAT
ABSTRACT: The objectives of
the study are (1) to analyze the household’s income structure of corn farmers
based on variety types and land holdings and (2) to see the relation between
income distribution and land holding and types of variety. Data analyzed in the
study were collected from two main corn-producing districts during the planting
seasons of 2007/2008. Results of the study show that share of income from farm
business to the total households’ income is relatively high, i.e., shares of
income from corn farming based on variety type varied from 44 to 87 percent in
Sinar Tebudak and 49 to 87 percent in Pangmilang. Distribution of corn farming
income for all types of variety is more balanced than that of total households’
income due to variation in non-farm income. The study also indicates that there
is a positive correlation in all variety types between total households’ income
and land holding. The use of superior variety could improve distribution of
corn farming income and distribution of households’ income. Implications of the
study are (1) enhancing non-farm employment in rural areas is essential to
improve households’ income; (2) implementing land reform is one of the
instruments to create a better distribution of land holding and income
distribution in rural areas; and (3) improving supporting inputs and facilities
like water irrigation, fertilizer, pesticide, credit and agricultural extension
service for the corn farmers are essential in order to improve income
distribution in the study area.
