Soybean is the important agricultural product for Indonesia people because its protein content. The domestic consumption of soybean tends to increase consistent with population growth. Meanwhile statistical data in last two decades show that its total productio tend to decrease, so that its total consumption cannot be achieved by its production himself. Beside, soybean is also needed as ration for livestosck. So that domestic demand of soybean tends to increase too in that last two decades.
Highly domestic soybean demand is hard relaying to its to its import. Increasing its production will decrease its import and its foreign exchange used. New technology used should be introduced to increase its production beside its farmer return.
Main objective of this study are: (1) to know production level and technology applied of farmer in the soybean farm management in the area study, (2) to know the feasibility of applying soybean farm management in the area study, and (3) to know factors affected to soybean production level in the area study.
This study carried out in East Java decided as study area focused on eight residences as the soybean production centre. Then two residences, i.e., Banyuwangi and Jember, decided as sample study area data collected from sample farmer use multi stage cluster sampling method.
Result of this study show that: (1) most farmers (96 percent) do not apply technology introducing to soybean farm management, (2) efficiency of soybean farm management is low relative based on it R/C ratio of 1.09, and (3) factors significantly affected to soybean production are land area, labor, fertilizer, and technology.
