Abstract
Agricultural sector in South Kalimantan take an important part in economic development with extensive and fertile rice field potential and adequate human resources,especially in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency is the third biggest number of farming households; 12.96 percent,it has no significant effect on Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Hulu Sungai Tengah has the fifth highest GDP in South Kalimantan with a percentage of 9.68 percent. Its productivity on paddy rice is still at 4-5 tons per hectare,whereas it should reach 6-8.5 tons per hectare. While the regional economic structure that the share of the food crop agriculture sector in the economy in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency is still very large, and the productivity of superior rice varieties is quite potential so it is very unfortunate if the potential of the agricultural sector can notbe used optimally. Therefore, this research aims to describe the characteristics, analyse technical efficiency and the factors that influence production, and analyse the factors influencing the inefficiency of superior varieties of rice farming in the Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. Frontier Analysis is used to answer the questions above. The research found that the production factors (harvested area, seeds, inorganic fertilizer and labor) have a positive effect on the production of superior rice varieties. The significant effect of production factors are extent of harvest and inorganic fertilizers. Factors that significantly influence the technical efficiency of superior rice varieties in wetland are the age and education of farmers.
