Abstract

This study aims to highlight the importance of women's empowerment and climate change adaptation to improve the technical efficiency of rice farming on Madura Island. The analytical method used is stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) based on a survey conducted on 175 rice farmers on Madura Island. The technical efficiency of rice farming is measured by the output in the form of the value of rice harvests and the inputs are the area of land/harvest area, labor, fertilizer, and seeds. In addition, the variables that determine the technical inefficiency of rice farming are women's empowerment, climate change, education, access to credit, farmer group membership, age, government assistance and agricultural extension. The results show that the technical efficiency of rice farming on Madura Island is still low at 0.628. Women's empowerment, access to credit and agricultural extension have a significant effect on the technical inefficiency of rice farming on Madura Island. Meanwhile, climate change, education, farmer group membership, age, and government assistance do not have a significant impact on the technical inefficiency of rice farming on Madura Island. Women's empowerment has actually led to technical inefficiencies in rice farming. Furthermore, farmers must continually adapt to increasingly unpredictable climate change.
