Analysis of the Production Factors of Palm Genjah (Arenga Pinnata) in Deli Serdang Regency

The main objective of this study is to analyze various factors that affect the production rate of palm farmers in the Deli Serdang area, North Sumatra. Sampling was carried out using the Slovin formula, which aims to determine the number of samples proportionally to the population level. From the calculation results, the sample used in this study consisted of 94 respondents, all of whom were palm farmers in the area that was the object of the study. To analyze the collected data, the researcher used the Cobb-Douglas production function approach. This method is often used in economic research to model the relationship between production inputs (such as capital, labor, raw materials, and land area) and the output or production output produced. The results of this study show that of the four production factors analyzed, capital has a significant and significant influence on the production of palm trees. In addition to capital, other factors such as labor, raw materials, and land area also affect production levels, although the level of influence may vary.
