Abstract

This study aims to determine the response of soybean farmers toward the price and climate fluctuations in Yogyakarta Special Region. The study uses secondary data time series for 20 years (1992-2011) and is analyzed using a model of supply response. The results show that the increase in soybean prices in year y-1 and the increase in rainfall in year y-1 influenced significantly in reducing the planting area of soybeans in year y. Whereas, the price of peanuts in year y-1 did not influenced significantly to the planting area of soybeans in year y. From these results it can be
concluded that the increased price in soybeans is not an incentive for farmers to increase production. Rainfall will be a consideration for farmers to increase or decrease the planting area of soybeans and peanuts are not the competitor commodity for soybeans in fighting over land.
