RISK MANAGEMENT OF SHALLOT PRODUCTION IN TROPICAL CLIMATE

The use of a sample of 30 farmers is already quite representative, but the study would be even more interesting if it were expanded to other locations or included a larger number of respondents to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.

As a suggestion for future development, it may be worth considering the inclusion of additional variables such as fertilization, irrigation, or pesticide use, as these also have an impact on productivity. This would allow the analysis results to be more comprehensive.

This research makes a real contribution to the development of sustainable shallot farming, especially in areas with surjan farming systems. The use of primary data and in-depth analysis are highly appreciated. As reinforcement, it is recommended to add data visualization and consider external factors such as market access and post-harvest technology in risk management.

This journal is very interesting because it provides information on how to properly manage risk. Through the analysis carried out with the Cobb Douglas function model, it provides accurate information. The author is also able to provide an explanation that is easy to understand. 0211

this journal use of the Cobb-Douglas production function is appropriate for analyzing input efficiency in shallot farming. However, the methodology could be strengthened by including additional variables such as fertilizer use or irrigation, and by applying a stochastic approach to better capture production risks. Incorporating qualitative data through interviews or field observations would also enrich the analysis.

This journal is very informative and relevant as it comprehensively discusses risk control strategies for shallot production. The analysis using the Cobb-Douglas model provides a clear picture of the importance of input efficiency. In the future, it would be more interesting if this research also included a farmer participatory approach to make the results more contextual and applicable.

Research results should be completed with more technical and applicative recommendations, such as superior seed selection methods, ideal planting schedules, or planting rotation systems. This will greatly help farmers in applying research results directly in the field. 0219

This research is quite interesting, but there are some practical issues that need to be addressed. The study suggests farmers should add 752 kg of seeds and 5.3 hectares of land, but this seems unrealistic for small farmers who are already struggling financially. Maybe the authors could explore simpler solutions like better seed selection techniques or improved farming practices that don't require huge investments. Also, it would be helpful to include interviews with farmers to understand their actual constraints and preferences. 0162

This journal is very relevant to the real problems of shallot farmers. Explains the importance of efficiency in the use of inputs used in agriculture. The use of the Cobb-Douglas production function model is appropriate for analyzing production risks. The discussion is presented systematically so that it is easy for readers to understand. 0165

The research provides practical recommendations for Indonesian shallot farmers by identifying specific efficiency gaps in input utilization, particularly highlighting the need for superior seeds and expanded cultivation areas to achieve sustainable production. 0188
