INCREASING FARMER’S RESILIENCE THROUGH MARKETABLE SURPLUS

Abstract

Abstract. One of the main attributes for building farmer resilience in facing climate change is access to resources. To deal with the negative impacts of climate change requires quite a lot of resources. Previous research shows that the weakness of farmers is their low level of income. Income is the main access to obtain resources, the main source of income for farmers is the amount of product sold to the market or marketable surplus. Based on this, this research aims to analyze the factors that influence marketable surplus. The target population for this research is farmers affected by climate change and uses multiple linear regression analysis tools. The research results show that the factors that influence marketable surplus are the amount of production and income. Farmers who produce food use their produce for their own consumption and sale, so that if the production produced is greater, the greater the marketable surplus. Income will increase access to obtain resources, including food, so that the greater the income, the greater the marketable surplus. These results show that to increase resilience farmers must have access to resources such as land, large land will increase the potential for high production thereby increasing marketable surplus
