Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze the technical efficiency of large-scale rice field member and non-member in the upper northern region. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model was used to analyze production efficiency with 1 variable of production factor and 8 variables of production factors. The level of efficiency was divided by 5 levels (the least - the most). From this study, we found that economy of scale is in the phase of decreasing return to scale. large-scale rice field members have slightly higher than non-member (0.9213> 0.9065), and most of production efficiency has the highest
level of efficiency, but by the way rice cultivation in both groups should especially reduce the amount of labor for production and agricultural investment.
