ABSTRACT
This research aims to determine factors influencing economic decision- making of sugarcane farmers' household in terms of production, labor allocation and consumption. This research was conducted in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The number of respondents, based on the ratoons rate, was 172 sugarcane households. Parameter estimation was conducted using two-stage least square method. Parameter estimation showed that non family labor allocation of sugarcane farming was influenced by sugarcane farm, the use of ZA fertilizer, wage rate of nonfamily woman labor of sugarcane farming, and ratoons frequency. Family labor allocation of sugarcane farming was actually influenced by sugarcane farm, a family labor of sugarcane farming, total family members, and rations frequency.
KEY WORDS
Household economics, production, sugarcane, labor allocation.
Sugarcane is a sugar-producing plant that has seasonal growth because influenced by climate. Sugar production trend in 1993/94 in Indonesia significantly decreased due to the impact of drought (T.M.Hess et al., 2016). As a sugar-producing plant which has not been replaced, sugarcane is an important crop globally. While the effect of sugar consumption is highly debated Ruxton et al. (as cited in T.M.Hess et al., 2016). In 2013, Brazil and India globally account for 39% and 18% of sugarcane production (FAOSTAT, 2015). The largest sugarcane producers in the world are Brazil, Thailand, and Australia. While Indonesia is a producer-consumer country.
This is indicated by the imported value of plantation commodities that packed the domestic market of 32.49% with a growing volume of 26.50%. Most imported plantation commodity is refined sugar crystal (Director General of Plantation, 2015). According to the Ministry of Industry (2016), the increase of sugar import was caused by the sugar needs for household consumption which reached 2.7 million tons and 3.5 million tons of refined sugar for food and beverage industry so that the total demand for sugar in 2017 reached up to 6.2 million tons, while production in 2016 was only 2.2 million tons.
Production center of sugarcane in Indonesia spread in several provinces and the largest sugarcane plantation development was done by society under the condition of not using technology yet that can optimize production input. According to the data from the Ministry of Agriculture (2016), the province with the largest harvest area and sugarcane producer during the 2012-2016 period was East Java which was recorded to have an area of land by 209.33 ha or 45.06% of a total land area of sugarcane plantations in Indonesia. Moreover, the average production was 1.28 million tons per year, so this production contributes 49.14% of annual Indonesia's sugar cane production. In addition, Malang Regency, with most of ratoon cane development, was listed as an area which has plantation land up to 44, 057 Ha.
This condition makes sugarcane plantations the main livelihood of the farmers household. However, in 2014, with plantation area of 3, 786 ha, its productivity reached 160 tons/ha, lower than in 2013 with plantation area by 2, 705 hectares and the productivity by 180 tons/ha (Agricultural Extension Center 2015). As a result, the accretion of plantation area did not affect the increase of sugarcane production, according to Fitriani (2013) the intensity of activity in sugarcane farm was also determined by the availability of capital, production input, cultivation technology and certainty of sugarcane selling price at the factory level, in addition was also determined by external factors such as wages, input price, output price and farmers' awareness of the importance of the cultivated commodities. According to Khumbakar (2002), agricultural production was highly dependent on the managerial ability of farmers in farming. Farmers household acts as a producer and consumer, according to Becker (1965) when acting as producer, a farmer maximizes profits while acting as a consumer, a farmer maximizes the satisfaction of goods consumed and the allocation of spare time. Total household time was allocated to combine the production of goods and leisure, for agriculture or off-farm (Barnum and Square 1979) then Ellis (1988) states that households have the freedom to work in the household (in the family) and to hire labor from outside the household with the applicable wage rates.
So that fluctuating sugarcane productivity condition makes sugarcane farmers have a tendency of simultaneous-decision making pattern between production and consumption activity. Thus the economic decision making of the household of sugarcane farmers cannot be analyzed partially. As the previous research conducted by Ratna (2007) who analyzed the household economics of crop farmers. Hanani and Yonekure (2009); Fitriani (2013); Leki et.al (2016); Makki (2014) analyze household economics decision making to build household economics model.
Based on the description above, this research is important to be done to identify factors influencing production, labor allocation and consumption as household economics decision making of a sugarcane farmer.
METHODS OF RESEARCH
Research Location. This research was conducted purposively in Malang Regency of East Java Indonesia. This location was chosen because Malang has the largest sugarcane plantation and there are 2 sugar factories there. Through the non-proportioned stratified random sampling, ratoons level was divided into a level I for 3-4 ratoons, level II for 5-10 ratoons and level III > 10 ratoons. Total ratoons selected were 172 sugarcane farmers
Data Analysis Method. The analysis used to fulfill the research objectives was an estimation of a production function, labor allocation and sugarcane farmers consumption using simultaneous equation (2 SLS). By the help of software (SAS/ETS) version 9.1, it was then specifically divided into four blocks of structural and identity equations, namely (a) labor allocation block comprised the use of family and non-family labor for sugarcane and non-sugarcane farming (b) production and production facility block meant production of sugarcane, non-sugarcane, ZA fertilizer and NPK fertilizer (c) income block consisted of sugarcane farming income, non-sugarcane farming income, total income of sugarcane farmers household and surplus of household income of sugarcane farmers (d) block of households spending of sugarcane farmers, namely the food consumption expenditure and non-food consumption expenditure. The estimation of the model as a whole was part of the economic decision-making model (Bagi and Singh, 1974). In this study, household economics decision making of sugarcane farmers was classified into labor allocation, production, and production facility, income and household expenditure of sugarcane farmers in form of equation as follows:
a) Production Facility equation and Labor Allocation:
NFLSF = a0+a1SFA+a2NFM+a3UZAF+a4WNFLSFw+a5 dummy FR+U1
FLSF = b0+b1 SFA +b2 FLnSF +b3 NFM +b4 dummy FR +U2
TLSF = NFLSF + FLSF
NFLnSF = c0+c1TSFI+c2 TLnSF +c3FE+U3
FLnSF = d0+d1 NSFA +d1 QNSF+d2 WNFLSFw+d3 FLSF+U4 TLnSF = NFLnSF + FLnSF
b) Production Equation:
UZAF = e0+e1 CSF+e2 PZAF+e3 NFLSF+e4 dummy FR +U5 UPhF = fo+f1 SFA +f2 PPhF+f3 UZAF +f4 dummy FR +U6 QS = g0+g1 SFA +g2 TLSF +g3 UPhF +g4 ESH +g5 dummy FR +U7 QNSF = h0 +h1 NSFA +h2 TLnSF +h3 SSFH +h4 NFM +U8
c) Income equation: SFI = VSQ - CSF TSFI = PUTb + PUNTb
NSFI = i0+i1NSFA+i2TLnSF+i3NFM+U9 SSFH = TSFI - ESH
d) Household Spending Equation: EF = j0+j1SSFH+j2NFM+j3EE+U10
ENF = k0+k1NSFI+k2TSFI+k3NFM+k4EE+U11 ESH = EF+ENF+EE
Model identification. According to Koutsoyiannis (1987), in the event of building a model, the process of identifying structural models should take into account (1). The total number of variables in the model (2) the number of variables in each equation (3) the number of predetermined variables in the model and (4) the number of predetermined variables in each equation. So the requirement of identification conditions was achieved if (K-M) > (G-1). The equation model of this research consisted of 11 structural equations and 6 identity equations. With the total variables 27 (K = 27) and M = 6, G = 17 then the result of equation model was over-identified, because (K-M) was greater than (G-1). Variable notation description of equation model was shown in table 8.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Household economics-decision making of sugarcane farmers. Most of sugarcane farming activities in the research area was people's sugarcane of dry land farming. Cultivation of dry land allows ratoons system application. Ratoons was a sugarcane crop that was previously cut, then the stubble was cut right or lower than the surface of the bund then managed to produce (Koswara in Angga Naruputro, 2009). In general, ratoon cane has lower productivity than the planting cane. As a result, the decision of ratoons was not separated from the households decision-making of sugarcane farmers, as well as its relation to the replanting that requires high farming costs
Household income source for sugarcane farmers. Sources of income were comprised income from sugarcane and non-sugarcane farming, it was in line with Rochaeni and Lakollo EM's (2005) research. Sugarcane farming income contributes greatly because sugarcane was the main livelihood. In addition, the research location was historical area and expansion area shown by the existence of two sugar factoriesm, while income from non-sugarcane farming system comes from food crop and horticultural crops. The average income of sugarcane farmers household can be seen on.

Household labor allocation of sugarcane farmers. Sugarcane farmers household devotes their labor for on-farm activity, that was sugarcane and non-sugarcane farming. The allocation of non-sugarcane farming was the real total time of family labor allocated to
farming activities excluding sugar cane Fadilla et.al (2017) such as rice, corn, chili, and papaya. The table shows that the household labor allocates the time in the sugarcane farming activity, considering the farming as the main livelihood. Allocation of the household labor of sugarcane farmers was on.

Household spending allocation of sugarcane farmers. Household income of sugarcane farmers was allocated to household spending, i.e. food, non-food and energy consumption. Table 3 indicates that food consumption expenditure has the greatest percentage, in line with Sekhampu et.al (2013) stating that lower middle-income household spending was dominated by basic needs. Non-food consumption includes the purchase of clothing, recreation, communication, social participation, and energy.

Estimation of factor parameters that influence production and consumption decisionmaking of sugarcane household. Estimation results indicate that the model has met the criteria of economics, statistics, and econometrics (Koutsoyiannis, 1977). The value of the coefficient of determination (R2 } 50% has a high value, the higher (R2), the better the structural equation, because the diversity of endogenous variables can be explained by exogenous variables. The result of statistical test F showed that all structural equations have a probability F under the real level of 10%. Thus the exogenous variables were together able to explain the endogenous variables. The estimation of sugarcane farming parameter and equation model was as follows;
Blocks of labor allocation for sugarcane farming. The formation of the labor in sugarcane farming consisted of family and non-family labor. The analysis result of family labor allocation of sugarcane farming was positively influenced by variables of sugarcane farm, the use of fertilizer ZA, wages of non-family woman labor of sugarcane farming and ratoons frequence dummy and significant at the level of real 10%, except family member variable of sugarcane farmers family. Sugarcane farming activities are labor-intensive so that the addition of family members did not significantly affect the use of the hired workers or non-family labor. In line with the research done by Chang et.al (2011) that household demands non family labor will not decrease unless the family labor is complimentary. The use of the family labor of sugarcane farmers household was significantly and positively influenced by the variable of sugarcane farm, the number of family members and the dummy of ratoons frequency, while the family labor of sugarcane farms has a significant and negative influence. Therefore, the addition of the use of family labor in the non-sugarcane farm of 1 HOK (man-day) will reduce the use of family labor in sugar cane farm. Food crops and horticulture activity required the sugarcane farmers household to be intensive because having a high production risk trend.
Non-sugarcane labor allocation. Labor allocation of this activity was divided into family and non-family labor. Factors that influence the use of the non-family labor of sugarcane
farm were the total non-sugarcane labor with a positive and significant response. When there was 1% increase in total labor allocation non-sugarcane so non-family and non-sugarcane labor increased 0, 99 HOK (man-day). Non-family labor of non-sugarcane farming were substituted to the family labor allocation. While the total income variable of sugarcane farming household and food consumption expenditure were negative and insignificant to non-sugar cane and non-family labor allocation. Family labor allocation of non-sugarcane farming, non-sugarcane farm, and non-sugarcane production variable have a positive and significant influence on the real level of 10%. In addition to growing sugarcane, farmers also cultivate food crops and horticulture as a source of non-sugarcane income. While the non-family woman labor wage of sugarcane farming and family labor of sugarcane farming was not significant to the family labor allocation in the non-cane farming system. The estimation result of labor allocation of sugarcane farmers household was shown at table 4.

Block production and production facilities of sugarcane farming. The equation of the amount of fertilizer ZA use was influenced by sugarcane farming cost variable, fertilizer ZA price, non -family labor of sugarcane farming and a dummy of rootans frequency. All exogenous variables have a positive effect on the amount of fertilizer ZA use except ratoons frequence dummy which has a negative and significant influence. The cost of sugarcane farming was the cost incurred by sugarcane farmers household in the cultivation of sugarcane, the high cost of farming was shown by the increasing number of total inputs. The price of fertilizer ZA has an effect on the amount of fertilizer ZA use, in sugarcane farming, fertilizer ZA was one of useful single fertilizer to result in optimum production so that in its use the farmer will not decrease the amount as accordingly. While non family labor variable has a positive influence on the use of fertilizer ZA but not significant at a = 10%, sugarcane farming labor consists of family and nonfamily labor substitution whose characteristic was a substitution. While the dummy variable of ratoons frequency has a negative and significant coefficient sign. Theoretically, the higher the ratoon frequency, the higher the application of fertilizer ZA, but empirically sugarcane farmers applied ZA fertilizer in accordance with the dose recommended by PG of 6 - 7 ku / ha. The research area was a cultivation of dry land
cane with ratoons cultivation. In line with the research results of Angga Naruputro (2009) the addition of fertilizer ZA dose for ratoons cane on dry land will have a little effect even not have an influence on the addition of sugarcane weight.
For the use of phonska fertilizer based on parameter estimation results, the influential variables were sugarcane farm, Phonska fertilizer price, ZA fertilizer application and actual ratoons frequency dummy. A very positive and significant variable was the use of ZA fertilizer. ZA and Phonska fertilizers were complementary like the research result by Fadilla (2017) that in sugarcane farming, Phonska and ZA fertilizers were complementary in a certain proportion to obtain optimal production, while ratoons frequency dummy has a negative but not significant influence.
Estimation result of parameters for sugarcane production was influenced jointly by the variable of sugarcane farming area, a total labor of sugarcane farming, Phonska fertilizer use, the household expenditure of sugarcane farmers and ratoons frequency dummy. All variables were positive and in accordance with the expectations except the use of Phonska fertilizer was negative but significant, because it was complimentary with ZA fertilizer then the application should be combined with ZA fertilizer, in addition, the dosage of Phonska fertilizer was in accordance with the recommended, that was 4 ku / ha. While the dummy frequency of ratoons was negative and not significant. Partially, the most influential variable affecting sugarcane production were sugarcane farming area. Like the research conducted by M.Dina et.al (2011) that group of sugarcane farmers with the narrow land area was not economically efficient compared to middle and big farmer group.
For non-sugarcane production, the positive variables included non-sugarcane farming area, total non-sugarcane labor, a surplus of sugarcane farmers household and the number of household members of sugarcane farmer household. However, a not-significant variable was the number of family members of sugarcane farming. For the estimation result of production and production of sugarcane was found at table 5.

Block of household income of cane farming. The equation for farming income was the identity equation which was the result of sugar cane production value with the cost of sugarcane farming. The equation of sugarcane production value comes from sugar cane production (QS) multiplied by the price of sugarcane. Thus, sugarcane farming income resulted from the reduction of sugar production value and sugarcane farming cost. Total household income of sugarcane farmers was the sum of sugarcane farming income and non-sugarcane farming income (NSFI). Similarly for the Surplus of Sugarcane Farmers Households (SSFH) which was the difference between the total income of sugarcane farm households with the expenditure of sugarcane households. The structural equation of non-sugarcane farming income was influenced by non-sugarcane farming area, non-sugarcane farm labor, the number of family member of a sugarcane farmer. The result of parameter estimation, a non-sugarcane farming land variable has a positive and significant influence on non-sugarcane farming income, while the total labor of non-sugarcane was positive but not significant and the number of family member of sugarcane farmers a negative and unreal effect. The estimation of household income parameters of sugarcane farmer was shown on table 6.
Block of household expenditure of sugarcane farmers. Household expenditure of sugarcane farmers consists of food, non-food and energy expenditure. The result of estimation of parameters of food expenditure was influenced by a surplus of farmers household, the number of family member of sugarcane farmer and household energy expenditure of sugarcane farmer. All of these variables were positive and significant, when the surplus of sugarcane farmer household increased, food expenditure also increased. In accordance with the research result of Fitriani (2013) that the results of estimation of income variables were positive and significant, the sign of parameters of income variables was economically in accordance with the positive theory influencing food consumption. Furthermore, the addition of the number of family members will increase the food expenditure, so in accordance with the condition that a large number of family members will affect household food consumption. When household energy expenditure of sugar cane farmers increased by 1%, it would increase food expenditure by 2.52%.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
Based on the result of the discussion, economic-decision making of sugarcane farmers household in the allocation of non-family labor allocation of sugar cane farming was influenced by sugarcane farming area, the use of ZA fertilizer, wage rate non-family of the human labor of sugar cane farming, and ratoons frequency. While the allocation of a family labor of sugarcane farming was influenced by sugarcane farming area, the use of the family labor of non-sugarcane farming, the number of household member of sugar cane farmer and ratoons frequency. Labor allocation of non-sugarcane farming was influenced by total non-sugarcane labor, while family labor was influenced by non-sugarcane farming area and non-sugarcane production.
Influential variables of sugarcane production decision were sugarcane farming area, the use of NPK fertilizer and total household spending. Non-sugarcane production was influenced by variables of sugarcane farming, non-sugarcane labor, and surplus of sugarcane farmers households. The sugarcane farming production facility consisted of ZA fertilizer which was influenced by farming cost and ZA fertilizer price, while the influencing variables of the use of NPK fertilizer were sugarcane farming area and the use of ZA fertilizer.
Non-cane farming income as an endogenous variable in the structural equation in the household decision making of sugarcane farmer was significantly influenced by non-sugarcane farming area. While welfare indicator was seen from household spending of sugarcane farmers. Variable of sugarcane households surplus, the number of family members and energy expenditure have a significant influence on food expenditure. Non-food expenditure was actually influenced by non-sugarcane farming income and total household income of sugarcane farmers.
Sugarcane farmers household decision-making cannot be separated from the ability of farmers to combine input usage, labor allocation, and household spending. Ratoons culture which becomes sugarcane development in the research area, if exceeding ratoons frequency recommended by the government, will cause the decrease of production and quality of sugarcane. So that in order to improve it, it was required the availability of capital, technology adoption and government policy on increasing the price of output and subsidy input and the synergic relationship between farmers and downstream industries.
