The Impact of Production and Price Risks on The Economic Behavior of Coconut Farmers\u27 Households in Seruyan Regency, Central Borneo Province
Production risk and price risk are problems that are often faced by coconut farmers. This is illustrated by the price and production instability faced by farmers, which will then have an impact on income and decision making in production and work allocation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of changes in the level of production risk and price on the behavior of farmer households in coconut farming production decisions. This research was conducted in Seruyan Regency, Central Kalimantan Province with a total of 200 farmers as respondents. The production function and the risk function were analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, while the farmer household economic model which was built using the simultaneous equation would be analyzed using the Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method. The results of the risk function analysis show that the risk of coconut production is directly proportional to the use of salt and herbicides. Land area, use of salt, herbicides and labor have a significant and positive effect on coconut production. The simulation results show an increased risk of negative impacts on the economy of coconut farmers\u27 households.

MARKETING CHANNELS ANALYSIS OF CARICA (Carica Pubescens) FARMING IN KEJAJAR DISTRICT, WONOSOBO REGENCY
The main problem of Carica farming in Kejajar District was the differences in farmers\u27 prices in the collection and processing Carica fruit industry. The product marketed by the farmers was fresh Carica fruit and information about the minimum selling price caused them to be unable to determine the right institution. These problems affected Carica\u27s marketing channel, leading to market inefficiencies. This study\u27s place was selected purposively in Kejajar District, Wonosobo Regency, with the consideration that Kejajar Subdistrict is a Carica center with a production of 4,589 tons (68%) of the total Carica production in Wonosobo Regency. The research was conducted from October - November 2020. The Structure Conduct Performance (SCP) method was used to analyze the marketing channels. The results of the marketing channel analysis show that the market structure formed at the farm level was in the form of a purely competitive market, and at the trader level, the market structure was formed by oligopoly. There were six Carica-marketing channels with cash payment systems, and the merchant determined the purchase price. The highest farmer’s share and profit to cost ratio was channel I (farmer → processing industry) and VI (farmer → village collector → processing industry). The marketing efficiency analysis results show that the marketing of Carica was inefficient because the farmer\u27s share at four marketing channels received by farmers was still less than 40%.

The Effect of Technical Efficiency on The Competitiveness of Cassava Indonesia
Over the past 10 years, cassava imports in the form of semi-finished products have tended to increase. This study aims to analyze the comparative advantages and competitive advantages of fresh cassava at the farming and processed cassava level in the processing industry. The research used secondary data covering 2.595 cassava farmers in all provinces in Indonesia obtained from Agricultural Census 2013 - Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), while data on the cassava processing industry was obtained from the publication of Bank Indonesia. The Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) method was used to measure cassava\u27s comparative and competitive advantages and further analyzed based on the technical efficiency score of the farm allegedly by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Results from PAM Analysis showed that Indonesian cassava products both in the farming and processing industry levels were not competitive. The technical efficiency of cassava production becomes the determinant of competitiveness the more efficient the production at the farm level, the competitiveness of cassava the higher. The competitiveness of the cassava processing industry is determined by the government\u27s intervention in the price of cassava. The cassava processing industry pays for raw materials higher than it should. The implications of this study are to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian cassava products need to increase the efficiency of cassava farming production and government policies related to the selling price of fresh cassava to protect farmers and the cassava processing industry.

The Growth Performance and Costs of Rearing Friesian Crossbreed Dairy Young Stock in Malaysian Commercial Farm
The important elements in rearing dairy young stock are good farm management, proper growth and optimal costs of rearing. A survey on these important elements was conducted at two commercial farms in Johor and Sabah in 2019. The farm herd size is 214 heads and 2,221 heads with 163,682 litres and 4.2 mil. litres of milk production, in Johor and Sabah respectively. In addition, the body weight data of 188 dairy young stock was collected and analysed to determine the growth performance using polynomial growth function. The results showed the two farms have youngstock with different Friesian blood levels (60% and 70% in Johor, and 87.5% in Sabah) with different growth performance. The average weight of dairy young stock with 60%, 70% and 87.5% Friesian blood levels at birth were 21.31±3.70kg, 22.33±2.23kg and 26.55±2.68kg, respectively, while average weight at 3 months of age were 45.00±7.07kg, 55.57±8.36kg and 75.84±12.54kg, respectively. Heifers with 87.5% Friesian blood levels was bred at 15 months of age (444kg) while heifers with lower Friesian blood levels was bred 6 months later (250kg). The average rearing (feed) cost was RM4,932 (USD1,194)/heifer. The findings of this study can give awareness and insights in the performance and costs of rearing crossbreed dairy young stock in tropics.
