  • I Made Sudarma

Abstract

The research was conducted at Badung Regency from May  to  August  2012. Badung
Regency determined as the  study  sites intentionally  (purposive  sampling)  with
consideration  Badung Regency is utilizing the highest Ayung river water for irrigation than
another regencies/city in Bali. Water pricing were  analyzed by the Value Marginal Product
(VMP) which derived from equation of the Cobb- Douglas production function.  The analysis
showed that the size of area plantation, seed, fertilizer, pesticide, labor and water (irrigation)
have real impact on rice production and by using the VMP analysis found that the price of
water for irrigation is Rp 314.000/ha/season. The price paid is higher than the water fee for
Subak, that is Rp 100,000/ha/season for active members and two-time for inactive members.
Even the results of the calculations show that the maximum water price paid by farmers is
greater than subak fees, the government can not impose the maximum water pricing approach
to the farmers. It is based on the consideration that the agricultural sector is still the sector
that needs to be subsidized because it involves the interests of a political, economic, social,
cultural and religious.
