KELAYAKAN USAHATANI BAWANG MERAH DENGAN SISTEM IRIGASI KABUT DAN NON KABUT PADA LAHAN PASIR PANTAI DI DESA SRIGADING KECAMATAN SANDEN KABUPATEN BANTUL
Abstract
Bantul district known as one of the shallot producer in Special Region of Yogyakarta. This research aims to examine cost, income, revenue and business feasibility of red onion farming using mist irrigation and non-mist irrigation technique on sandy-coastal soil area, located on Bantul district. Data was analyzed using descriptive analyst method, while research locations were determined purposively. Farmers from Pasir Makmur Farmer Group from Srigading village (Sanden sub-district, Bantul district) were chosen and all were interviewed (census). In total, there were 17 and 23 respondents who implementing mist and non-mist irrigation technique were interviewed, respectively. During this research, data on first harvesting season on March 2019 was collected. Feasibility analysis was examined based on R/C ratio, investment or capital productivity, and labor productivity. This research showed that farmer’s income who implement mist irrigation technique was higher compared to farmers who use non-mist irrigation system. Farmers with mist irrigation technique can generate Rp 6.742.800 of income/season and a profit Rp 5.776.976 /season. On the other hand, implementing non-mist irrigation technique on red onion farming only generated Rp 3.098.275 of income/season and a profit Rp 2.030.614 /season. This farm is worth the effort because R/C > 1. Capital productivity of using mist irrigation technique and non-mist irrigation was 1,8% and 0,6%, respectively. Similar trends were also found on labor productivity and R/C ration calculation. Labor productivity on mist irrigation technique was Rp 392.353/season, and on non-mist irrigation farming was Rp 178.037 /season. The R/C ration of using mist irrigation technique and non-mist irrigation was 2,4 and 1,5 respectively.
