HUMAN RESOURCES ON RICE FARMING PRODUCTIVITY IN SUMBERMANJING, MALANG DISTRICT

Abstract

This study examines the role of human resources in influencing rice farming productivity in Sumbermanjing, Malang District. Human resources, which include the knowledge, skills, and experience of farmers, are critical in enhancing agricultural efficiency and output. By employing the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, the study analyzes the impact of human capital—such as education level, training participation, and work experience—on the productivity of rice farming. The results indicate that higher levels of education, access to training programs, and relevant experience significantly contribute to improved productivity. This paper suggests that strengthening human resource capabilities in the farming community, through education and training, can lead to substantial increases in rice farming productivity.
