Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The problem encountered in the adoption of Rice High Yielding Varieties (HYV) is that the introduction of this technology often neglects the crucial factors affecting the adoption. This study was aimed to identify the factors influencing farmers’ decision-making on the adoption of high yielding varieties (HYV) of rice in South Sulawesi, Lampung and West Java Provinces, as rice production centres in Indonesia. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews of 200 farmers in 2016. The logistic regression model was employed to analyse the factors influencing farmers in making decision. The results showed that total production, farmers’ income and rice field area were significantly and positively influencing farmers’ decision-making on the adoption of HYV of rice (in the context of Ciherang, Inpari and Mekongga). Whereas formal education and dummy of crop season (rain and dry season) did not significantly determine farmers’ decision to adopt HYV of rice
