Abstract
Optimum Cropping Pattern on Irrigated Lowland.
The study was conducted at WKPP Cicadas, in Binong,
West Java in 1992. Ninety five farmers were selected
by Stratified Random Sampling technique, were interviewed.
The purpose of the study was to determine the
optimum cropping pattern through the applicati In of the
linear programming model. The result ofthe study showed
that farmers did not use their resources optimally, i.e their
income could still be increased by excuting optimum cropping
pattern. Cropping pattern that was recommended for
small size land was Rice + Fish - Fish - Rice + Fish - long
bean, while that for large size land was Rice + Fish - Rice
+ fish - fish and long bean. Compared to the actual cropping
pattern excuted by farmers, the recommended cropping
pattern will increase farmer's annual income as much as
75% (or Rp 408,277), and 24.8 % (or Rp 514,642), for small
size and large size land, respectively. Land and capital
were the scarce resources for farmers as shown by the,
nonzero shadow price value. Family labors were avalaible
for farming in every activity needed. The result of the sensitivity
analysis showed that for small size land, changes
• in commodities price did not affect the optimum cropping
pattern, while for large size land, ten percent decrease in
pricewill change the optimum cropping pattern.
