%X This study aims to analyze the patterns, mechanisms, rights, and obligations in
smallholder sugarcane farmer partnerships in North Lampung Regency, as well as
to evaluate the factors that influence farmers' decisions to join partnerships and
their impact on the performance of smallholder sugarcane farming businesses. The
survey was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024. The sample in this
study amounted to 189 respondents consisting of 96 partner farmers and 93 nonpartner
farmers. The research method involved descriptive analysis and
Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to compare the performance of partner and
non-partner farmers. The results showed that the factors that influenced farmers to
join partnerships included age, education, number of family members, distance
from partner locations, distance from factory locations, and attitude towards risk,
while land area, farming experience, and frequency of extension had no
significant effect. Based on the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis,
partnerships significantly increased income, production costs, transaction costs,
and productivity, but had no significant effect on the selling price of sugarcane.
Although partnerships increase productivity, income, and cost efficiency of
farming businesses, several obstacles are still faced, such as limited market
information, non-transparent determination of yields, and additional costs due to
queues at the factory. The results of this study are expected to be input for the
development of sugarcane agribusiness policies in Indonesia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola, mekanisme, hak, dan kewajiban
dalam kemitraan petani tebu rakyat di Kabupaten Lampung Utara, serta
mengevaluasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan petani bergabung dalam
kemitraan dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja usahatani tebu rakyat. Survei
dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2023 sampai Maret 2024. Sampel pada penelitian
ini berjumlah 189 responden yang terdiri dari 96 petani mitra dan 93 petani non
mitra. Metode penelitian melibatkan analisis deskriptif dan Propensity Score
Matching (PSM) untuk membandingkan kinerja petani mitra dan non mitra. Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Faktor yang memengaruhi petani bergabung
dalam kemitraan meliputi umur, pendidikan, jumlah anggota keluarga, jarak
lokasi mitra, jarak lokasi pabrik, dan sikap terhadap risiko, sedangkan luas lahan,
pengalaman usahatani, dan frekuensi penyuluhan tidak berpengaruh signifikan.
Berdasarkan analisis Propensity Score Matching (PSM), kemitraan secara
signifikan meningkatkan pendapatan, biaya produksi, biaya transaksi, dan
produktivitas, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap harga jual tebu. Meskipun
kemitraan meningkatkan produktivitas, pendapatan, dan efisiensi biaya usahatani,
beberapa kendala masih dihadapi, seperti keterbatasan informasi pasar, penentuan
rendemen yang tidak transparan, serta biaya tambahan akibat antrean di pabrik.
Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi masukan bagi pengembangan kebijakan
agribisnis tebu di Indonesia.
