Value in return to scale (RTS) with 0,88 showed that increase rate for rice farming at West Seram Regency tend to decrease or decreasing return to scale (DRS), but still within rational production area. Result in allocative efficiency test toward farming input showed ratio MVPxi/Pxi>1, which means allocative efficiency of this farming still not achieved.
