| description |
The study is an at tempt to analyse the economic aspects of
Integrated Fish - Chicken Farming System (longyam) in the
District of Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. Linear Programming was
employed as an analytical tool to determine the optimal
enterprise-mix and allocation of resource use for three farm
categories: small, medium and large. The Functional
Mathematical Programming System (FMPS) was used to obtain the
solution required. Primary data was collected from a farm
survey and secondary data obtained from relevant agencies were used as supplementary information.
The study found that large farmer searned the highes tnet
prof it for all the five fish species i.e. mas, nilem, tawes, tambakan and nit as compared to small and medium farmers. Small farmers obtained the highest net profit in broilers and
layers production. On the other hand, medium farmer sled in
raising cockerels. It was also shown that the total costs in culturing fish as well as raising chicken a farm
declined as farm size increased.
The optimal solutions generated a higher total net revenue
for the three farm categories over the existing practice. Large farmers have a greater potential for earning a higher income
than small and medium farmers.
The inclusion of chicken enterprise in the solution
increased the employment of labour on small, medium and large
farms in all the months of the planning period. The largest
increase in labour utilisation was in small farms fol lowed by
large and medium farms.
Government intervention through the injection of
subsidised credit to cooperative or farmers 'association can go
a long way in increasing farmers' income. In addition, the role
and involvement of extension workers can be intensified for better enterprise management and adopt ion of new technology in longyam. |
