Pattern of shares, absolute and relative, indicate that participant-farmers belonging to the less wealthy ones tend to be more productive than other groups but per hectare from income belongs to the lowest because of considerable amount of land-rent payment and at the same time, this group tend to pay the highest to hired labor.

TAMPUBOLON, SAKTI M. H. University of the Philippines at Los Banos, January 1983. The Impact of the Rice Intensification Loans on Land Productivity, Input Use and Income Distribution the West Java Case, Indonesia. Major Professor: Dr. Cristina C.David.

The impact of the BIMAS Rice Intensification Loans (RIL) on land productivity, input use and income distribution Se analysed. Data from the Indonesian Consequences of Small Rice Farm Mechanization of the International Rice Research Institute are used.

This study employs three main hypotheses namely, (i) that credit rationing seems to appear and biassed favouring wealthy farmers; (ii) that given the production possibility boundaries and the farmers are rational, farmers participating in the BIMAS-RIL program tend to use higher level of input- factors with higher level of output, and thus farm income, since the RIL serves to reduce financial stress and thus, the effective price of input factors; and (iii) that the wealthy farmers on the other hand, tend to employ more non-land capital instead of labour and its complement: fertilizer and chemicals.

Test of independence indicates that participation in the BIMAS-RIL program cannot be said to be independent of ecbm farm wealth and thus on Epirns the first hypothesis. Using t-test procedure, with an analysis of variance as a cross~check, it is concluded that particularly in wet season, land productivity for the participants farmers tend to be higher than non-participant ones due to higher use of fertilizer and chemicals.

While not more productive than less wealthy ones, wealthy farmers tend to use more per hectare non-land capital idea of labor and its complement: fertilizer and chemicals. Input demand econometric model further suggests that first, RIL has no effect on preharvest (hired and total) labor employed aed positive effect on non-land capital and second, Gr wealth (and so farm size) has negative effect on preharvest labor employed but positive on non-land capital.

Pattern of shares, absolute and relative, indicate that participant-farmers belonging to the less wealthy ones tend to be more productive than other groups but per hectare from income belongs to the lowest because of considerable amount of land-rent payment and at the same time, this group tend to pay the highest to hired labor. More RIL given to the less wealthy farmers is :therefore suggestable.
