Shallot are vegetables that often experience problems in the off-farm aspect, namely high price fluctuations because shallots are a commodity that can cause inflation. This study aims to analyze the transmission pattern of shallot prices at the producer, wholesaler, and consumer levels and to analyze the factors that influence the formation of shallot price at the consumer level in North Sumatra Province. The data studied is monthly data for 2016-2020, totaling 60 observations. The analytical model used in this research is the Asymmetric Error Correction Model (AECM). The results showed that price transmission between shallot marketing agencies in North Sumatra Province was asymmetric in the short and long term in the relationship between wholesalers-producers and consumers-producers. Asymmetric price transmission in the short term is formed due to adjustment costs in line with price changes that occur. Meanwhile, long-term price transmission occurs as a result of the abuse of market power by buyers

The largest watermelon production in Demak District, Demak Regency is in Bango Village, reaching 7.91/ton and a harvest area of 46/ha with a productivity of 17.2 tons/ha per year based on data from BPS in 2022. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect production, return to scale and efficiency of using Inul watermelon farming production factors. The research was conducted in June 2023, using the survey method. The determination of respondents by purposive sampling was farmers who were active as members of farmer groups and were planting Inul watermelons, as many as 36 farmers. Primary data collection through interviews using questionnaire guidance. Secondary data comes from BPS and literature literature. The production function uses the Cobb-Douglas production function. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression analysis, scale-up analysis of results and production efficiency analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, production factor factors, namely land area, KNO3 fertilizer and pesticides have a real effect on the 95% confidence level while NPK seeds and fertilizers have a real effect on the 90% confidence level. The sum of elasticity in the Cobb Douglas production function is 0.621 < 1, meaning decreasing returns to scale. The ratio between the marginal product value (NPM) of production factors and the price of production factors for land area of 4 means that it is not yet efficient. Meanwhile, seed production factors, NPK fertilizers, KNO3 fertilizers and pesticides with NPMXi / HXi values < 1 mean that the allocation of production factors is inefficient. The use of production factors needs to be increased and the use of seeds, NPK fertilizers and KNO3 fertilizers and pesticides needs to be reduced according to the land area.

The research results show that in terms of technical efficiency, all craftsmen are technically efficient because the efficiency index value is more than 0,7. The average value of respondents' technical efficiency is 0,87. This value shows the average achievement of technical efficiency in the woven bamboo basket craft business of 87,64%. This condition shows that on average it still has a chance of 12,36% to achieve maximum efficiency. However, in terms of allocative and economic efficiency, all respondents are not yet efficient because the efficiency index value has not reached more than or equal to 1. The average value of allocative efficiency only reaches 0,26 and 0,22 for economic efficiency, which means that each craftsman requires additional input.
