Abstract


. Peanut farming plays an important role in supporting rural livelihoods in Sone Village, North Central Timor Regency; however, its production remains unstable. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting peanut production and estimate the output elasticity of each production factor. The research was conducted from September to October 2024 using a survey method involving 40 farmers selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using a Cobb-Douglas production function in a log-linear regression model. The results show that land area, seeds, pesticides, labor, education, farming experience, and capital simultaneously have a significant effect on production. Partially, land area and farming experience have significant positive effects on peanut production. Labor has a positive effect, while seed use has a negative effect, both statistically significant at the 10% level. Pesticides, education, and capital do not have statistically significant effects. The coefficient of determination indicates that 50.8% of production variation is explained by the model. Peanut farming is economically feasible, generating an average net income of IDR 3,750,185 per season with an R/C ratio of 4.52, indicating that peanut cultivation remains profitable under existing production conditions. These findings imply that improving land management, strengthening farmers’ production experience, and enhancing the quality and efficiency of seed and labor utilization are more important than simply increasing input use to improve peanut production.
