Abstract

The integration system of cattle in oil palm developed in Indonesia because this innovation can increase farmer?s income and also increase productivity of palm oil and beef. This innovation is mixed farming where the combinations of the two commodities can be synergized in order to reach optimal utilization at the same piece of land. Many positive effects can take by the farmers if they adopt this innovation, but something else must be think that innovation is too complex to adopt by the farmers. It?s because, farmers must be concern to two economic activities at the same time. Its means if we want to apply this innovation to the farmer in big scale, we have to analyze the probability of farmer?s decision to adopt or do not which caused by many factors. Result of this research showed that 80,4% variation of farmer?s decision to adopt or not to adopt cattle and palm oil integrated system caused by income factor, consumption, number of family members, extension intensity, origin area and level of education factor (Rsquare=80,4). Then, result of chi-square value ( X2 ) = 44,104 or > X2 table 5% , means all independent variables able to explain decision to adopt or not to adopt cattle and palm oil integrated system. Result of logistic model regression showed that all independent variables having an effect on farmer?s decision to adopt or not to adopt cattle and palm oil integrated system. Analysis using SPSS showed that all coefficient value is smaller than specified reality level ( p<0,30), so that all variables have positive effect on reality, if we add 1% to each variable will increase farmer?s decision probability to adopt cattle and palm oil integrated system.
