Envelopment + Analysis (DEA), Tobit
and Regression. The sample consisted of 200
rice producers in one municipality, namely Bobonaro. The results showed
that the production scale presented increasing returns in about 96%. Only 3% of
the sample surveyed showed an efficient scale and about 1% presented a
production scale with decreasing returns. The results of multiple linear
regression analyses show that the model has a degree of adjustment of 10.6%,
and the model is statistically significant. The estimated coefficients are
statistically significant for Land, Seeds, Capital and IR8 Variety. There are

rice products. Rice distribution chains operate through various channels,
including traders, companies, wholesalers, retailers and agents.
