The calculation result shows the average technical efficiency in farming cabbage for 0.66, 3.03 for price efficiency, and economic efficiency of 1.99. These results indicate the condition of farming is not technically efficient, cost efficiency and economic value indicates the condition of farming is not efficient, so that necessary adjustment of production factors .. Based on the significance test, variables in the farming of cabbage which has significant influence is variable land area, seed, manure, fertilizer urea, TSP fertilizer, pesticides, and labor. Return to scale farming of cabbage was 11.48 showing farms in conditions of increasing returns to scale. Based on price efficiency and economic efficiency as well as supported the results of returns to scale, use of production factors on cabbage farming needs to be improved to increase profits.
