Abstract:
This study aims to analyze farmers' perceptions of subsidized fertilizer policies, on tidal and irrigated land. The research was conducted on 2 types of paddy fields, namely tidal land in Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency and irrigated land in Buay Madang District, East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The sampling technique was Simple Random Sampling, which obtained a sample of 50 respondents in each type of tidal and irrigated land, so that the total sample was 100. Then the respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively using 4 indicators of the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer policies, namely the right price, right place, right amount, and right time. The results showed that the right place and right time indicators were effective in tidal land, but the right price and right amount indicators were not effective. On irrigated land, the right price and right place indicators are effective, but the right amount and right time indicators are not effective.
