PRODUCTION VARIABLE ANALYSIS FOR ADEQUATE AVAILABILITY OF DOMESTIC SOYBEAN PRODUCTION

Abstract

Soybean plants are easily found in most provinces in Indonesia. However, the production capacity in each province is unbalanced. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the factors that influence the soybean production capacity. This research is conducted using surveys, interviews and questionnaire. The sample is taken from the Gapoktan (Group Chairman Farming Association), Kapoktan (Chairman of the Farm) and individual soybean farmers in Jember and Banyuwangi villages, East Java, Indonesia. The soybean production variable has eight indicators and the soybean stock variable has two indicators. Data analysis is done by calculating the average value (mean). The results show that the average value (mean) was 4.44 using 5 point Likerts Scale. Therefore the data is valid and reliable. The relationship between the variable and the indicator has a strong correlation with an average of 0.96 and it follows the quadratic model. The hypothesis results show that there are influences and strong relationship between the production variable and the stock variable. The strong dominant indicators are the use of abandoned land and utilization of forestry land or plantation.
