Analisis Kesejahteraan Petani Padi di Desa Jurangsapi Kecamatan Tapen Kabupaten Bondowoso Sebelum dan Saat Pandemi Covid-19)

The occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia has disrupted the
people's economy, especially rice farmers. Large-Scale Social Restrictions
(PSBB) certainly have an impact on people's lives, including farmers. This has
caused several input prices and the selling price of agricultural products to
be different from the situation before the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the food
crops that has experienced price changes due to Covid-19 is rice. In addition
to the price of agricultural inputs, food and non-food prices have also
increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so that the costs incurred by farmers
have also increased. Changes in price increases of basic needs and
agricultural needs will of course also affect the level of welfare of rice farmers
so it is necessary to conduct research on the welfare of rice farmers before
and during the Covid-19 pandemic when viewed from the income and
expenses of the rice farmer's house. The survey method is a research design
in this study and the sample purchasing technique uses a purposive sampling
technique, namely choosing respondents deliberately by considering many
things and the number of respondents is 30 people. The respondents of this
study were rice farmers in Jurangsapi Village, Tapen District, Bondowoso
Regency. This study uses data analysis in the form of Farmer Exchange Rate
(NTP) analysis to determine the level of welfare of rice farmers before and
during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research shows that when a pandemic
occurred, the Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) produced was 118%, which meant
that there was a surplus because the Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTP) was >
100, while during a pandemic the Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTP) produced
fell to 94%, indicating that the welfare of farmers during the occurrence of
Covid-19 decreased because the Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTP) was > 100.
