Abstract

Production and productivity of rubber plants does not always increase, it can decrease or be stable. It was influenced by factors of production; such as the amount of labor, land area, fertilizer use, number of productive trees and rainfall. This study aims to analyze the effect of some factors to rubber production in Tebing Linggahara Village, West Bilah District, Labuhanbatu Regency. The data used are primary data sourced from 31 rubber farmers by providing a questionnaire list. The research model is a quantitative model using multiple linear regression analysis techniques using SPSS version 16.0. From the results of the study showed that the area of land, seeds, and fertilizer had a significant influence on production, while the labor factor did not have a significant effect on smallholder rubber production. The coefficient of determination R2 is 0.853, which means that 85.3% of smallholder rubber production is influenced by the area of land, seeds, fertilizer, and labor.
