Abstract

English

To address the problems of the distribution of subsidized fertilizers, the Government of Lampung Province implements an innovative Billing System policy through which farmer groups redeem subsidized fertilizer online. However, the impact of the policy has not been reviewed scientifically. Therefore, this study aims to answer questions (1) what are the impacts of the Billing System Policy on the quantity use and prices of subsidized fertilizer in Lampung? and (2) what are the impacts of the Billing System Policy on rice production in Lampung? The study was conducted in June 2020 until February 2021. Total respondents were 314 rice farmers surveyed with systematic random sampling in the districts of East dan South Lampung and Metro. The impacts of Billing Systems were evaluated with the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique, which is a credible quantitative method for correcting selection bias and other variable biases. The results showed that, at the farmer group level, the Billing System significantly increases the average use of Urea and reduces the average prices of Urea and SP36. However, the Billing System has little impact on rice production, although the production has increased after the Billing System policy. The findings further imply that enhancing the institutional capacity of farmers is still necessary.

Bahasa Indonesia

Billing System Penebusan Pupuk dapat dianggap sebagai kebijakan dan/atau terobosan baru dalam sistem distribusi pupuk subsidi di Provinsi Lampung. Walaupun mempunyai potensi untuk mengatasi permasalahan penyaluran pupuk subsidi, dampak aktual kebijakan tersebut belum dikaji secara ilmiah, terutama di tingkat petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan (1) bagaimanakah dampak Kebijakan Billing System pada kuantitas penggunaan dan harga pupuk subsidi di tingkat petani? dan (2) bagaimanakah dampak Kebijakan Billing System pada produksi padi petani? Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juni 2020 sampai dengan Februari 2021. Total responden berjumlah 314 orang petani padi yang disurvei secara acak sistematis di Kabupaten Lampung Timur, Kabupaten Lampung Selatan, dan di Kota Metro. Evaluasi dampak dilakukan dengan teknik Propensity Score Matching (PSM) yaitu metode kuantitatif yang kredibel untuk mengoreksi bias seleksi dan bias variabel-variabel lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Billing System secara signifikan meningkatkan penggunaan rata-rata Pupuk Urea dan menurunkan harga rata-rata harga Pupuk Urea dan SP36 di tingkat kelompok tani. Namun, Billing System belum berdampak signifikan pada rata-rata produksi padi petani. Salah satu implikasi temuan penelitian adalah Billing System memiliki berpotensi mengatasi masalah distribusi pupuk subsidi di Lampung, namun peningkatan kapasitas kelembagaan petani masih sangat diperlukan.
