Abstract
The fertilizer subsidy policy is a government program aimed at providing affordable fertilizer to enhance the productivity of domestic commodities, including corn. The effective implementation of this policy is expected to improve technical efficiency, thereby contributing to food security and increased productivity. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2022 fertilizer subsidy policy implementation and analyze its impact on the technical efficiency of corn farming. The research was conducted in Kadur Subdistrict, Pamekasan Regency, East Java. A survey method was employed, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 43 farmers as respondents. Data analysis was performed using a quantitative descriptive approach, incorporating effectiveness analysis and technical efficiency measurement through the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier production function. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of the 2022 fertilizer subsidy policy implementation falls within the "highly effective" category. Furthermore, enhancing the effectiveness of non-Farmer Card (non-Kartu Tani) usage and the distribution of subsidized fertilizers significantly improves technical efficiency.
