In order to develop shallot production in Indonesia, it is necessary to conduct research on farming
performance of the commodity seen from the profit, feasibility, and the constraints of the
production. The sample of the farmer was taken with purposive sampling method of 30 people
in each location. The research used primary data and was analyzed with descriptive. The result
of the research showed that the age of the farmer in Nganjuk regency was the youngest. The
level of education of the farmer in Brebes regency was the best and had the most experience in
planting shallot. The widest field ownersip of the farmer was in Cirebon regency and the status
of the field domination of the farmer in the three regencies was mostly at rent. The highest profit
of the shallot farmer belonged to Nganjuk. The wage of the workers gave the highest contribution
towards the total cost of shallot farming in Java. Shallot price in the regencies of Cirebon, Brebes
and Nganjuk must not consecutively decrease more than 34,69%; 35,45%; and 39,39%, so that
the farmers did not suffer from loss. Shallot farming in Java was feasible to work and develop
for. Shallot farmers in Cirebon and Brebes regencies should pay attention on the factors like the
kind and the fertility of the soil, while for the farmers in Nganjuk regency, they should notice the
availability of the pesticide and fertilizer, as well as the existence of the farmer group.
