OPTIMASI USAHATANI PADI SEHAT VARIETAS SEMBADA MERAH, SEMBADA HITAM DAN MENTHIK SUSU DI KELOMPOK TANI RUKUN DI KABUPATEN SLEMAN
Abstract
This research aims to determine the farming patterns, costs, revenue and
optimization of healthy rice of sembada merah, sembada hitam and menthik susu.
The technique of determination of the location chosen in this study was conducted
purposively with the consideration that the Rukun Farmer’s Group was the only
farmer group in the Pakem sub-district that had an organic agriculture certificate
and sought three healthy varieties of rice. Sampling in this study was conducted
by census method with 30 farmers from the Rukun Farmer’s Group. The data used
are primary data and secondary data. The technique of data collection is done by
observation and interviews. The results showed that healthy rice cultivation of
sembada merah, sembada hitam and menthik susu used 7 patterns of crop
rotation for two seasons (one year). The highest total cost is found in sembada
Merah varieties in the first season and sembada hitam varieties in the second
seasons. In addition, if viewed from the amount of revenue, the sembada hitam
variety has the highest revenue. Optimization calculations through the LINDO
application yield information that the Rukun Farmer’s Group can achieve
maximum profits if in the first and second seasons all the land owned by farmers
is only planted with sembada hitam varieties.
