AB  - The study was aimed to analyze the level of productivity, technical efficiency, allocative efficiency
and economic efficiency as well to identify factors affecting the productivity level of soybean farming in
Indonesia. Random sampling by multi-stage method was performed to obtain cross-sectional data. Function
model of stochastic production frontier and stochastic cost frontier through the MLE estimation method was
adopted to analyze the research objectives. The results showed that there was over-use of fertilizer input thus
the addition of fertilizer will only decrease the production and productivity of soybean farming. Moreover, an
increase in production can be done through the increase in labor use, land price, labor price and production
quantity which were significantly increased the production cost. Soybean farmers in research location have
reached the level of actual productivity up to 90% of maximum productivity. However, socio-economic
conditions of soybean farmers did not significantly affect the productivity achievement. This finding has an
implicati on that increase in soybean production was no longer be achieved through the increase in land area
and productivity but by improving the seed technology, since the comparison showed that soybean
productivity per land area in research location was lower than that in Indonesia.
