ANALISIS FAKTOR PENENTU PRODUKSI TEBU DI PG. GONDANG BARU

This study aimed to determine the influences of factors of land size, labors, harvesting age, seasons, category of land, land preparation, water source, land types and variety of sugarcane in the sugar factory of Gondang Baru and to determine the relationship between the production of sugarcane in the sugar factory of Gondang Baru with sugar crystal produced. The research was conducted in the Sugar Factory of Gondang Baru, Klaten, Central Java purposively. This study used secondary data namely the production data of growing season in 2009/2010 and the growing season in 2010/2011. The data taken was the data of the farm processed by farmers and having cooperation with the farmers in the Sugar Factory of Gondang Baru. Data included the land size, labors, harvesting age, seasons, category of the land, land process, water source, land types and varieties. This study used a correlated and multiple linear regression analysis tool. The results showed that the factors affecting sugarcane production were land size, the number of labors, and harvesting age. While the seasonal factor suggested that if rainfall was below 2000 mm per year, the production of sugarcane produced was higher than the rainfall above 2000 mm per year. Canes grown in paddy fields produced sugarcane production which was higher than canes grown in dry land. The production of canes in the Sugar Factory of Gondang Baru had a strong and meaningful relationship with the production of sugar crystal, namely the higher the production of canes, the higher the production of sugar crystals produced
