The Impact of Rising Diesel Prices on the Income of Rice Farmers in Wonosari Village

The increase in diesel prices is a pressing issue for farmers, particularly for rice farmers in Wonosari Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency. This study aims to analyze the impact of changes in diesel prices on the cost of production, income, and revenue of rice farmers in the village. The research was guided by Mrs. Ir. Diana Chalil, M.Sc, PhD as Chair of the Supervisory Commission and Mr. Ir. Yusak Maryunianta, MP as a member of the advisory committee.

Research Methodology

This research was conducted by intentionally selecting the location of the research with certain considerations. The sampling method used the Slovin formula and obtained 34 samples of rice farmers. Data collection techniques employed convenience sampling. The data collected consisted of primary data and secondary data. Data analysis methods used descriptive analysis, cost analysis, income, and income, as well as paired sample t-tests.

Results

The results showed that there were significant differences in the production costs before and after the increase in diesel fuel price of 7.2%. There is also a significant difference in farmers' income before and after the increase in diesel fuel price with an increase of 15%.

Deeper Analysis

The increase in diesel prices directly increases production costs for rice farmers. This is because most agricultural activities such as land management, watering, and transportation of harvest, are very dependent on machines that use diesel fuel. This increase in production costs has an impact on a decrease in farmers' income, because they have to pay a greater cost to produce the same harvest.

Required Solution

Changes in diesel prices have a significant impact on the income of rice farmers in Wonosari Village. Here are some solutions that can be considered:

Solar Subsidies

The government can provide diesel subsidies to farmers in order to reduce production costs. This can be achieved by providing financial assistance to farmers to help them cover the increased costs of diesel fuel.

Increasing Efficiency

Farmers can increase the efficiency of the use of diesel fuel by optimizing the use of agricultural machines and equipment. This can be achieved by using more energy-efficient machines and equipment, and by implementing good agricultural practices.

Technology Development

The development of more energy-efficient agricultural technology can help farmers reduce the use of diesel fuel and reduce production costs. This can be achieved by investing in research and development of new agricultural technologies that are more energy-efficient.

Plant Diversification

Farmers can diversify plants by planting plants that are not too dependent on the use of diesel fuel. This can be achieved by planting crops that are more drought-resistant and require less water and fertilizers.

Conclusion

The increase in diesel prices is a serious challenge for rice farmers in Wonosari Village. This study shows that the increase in diesel prices has a significant impact on the cost of production and farmers' income. It is essential for the government and related parties to provide the right solution so that farmers can still run their business and improve their welfare.
