Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of candlenut farm business by analyzing the value of the Break Event Point of the amount of production, the Break Event Point of the production price of candlenut farming in the research area, and to analyze the value of the Revenue Cost Ratio of candlenut farming in the research area. The research location was chosen purposively with the consideration that the candlenut land area was more than 100 hectares with a production of 174.6 tons in 2019. The method of determining the sample in this study used simple random sampling using a research sample of 41 candlenut farmers at the research location. Survey data from primary data related to candlenut farming were collected through direct interviews with the sample. Analysis of the data used is the analysis of Production BEP, Price BEP, and R/C Ratio. The results of this study indicate that the BEP Production of 790.374 Kg is smaller than the production of candlenut in the research area which is 2,430 Kg. BEP price of Rp. 2.360/Kg less than the price of candlenut at the farmer level of Rp. 7.256/Kg and the R/C value of 3.07, which is greater than 1. The results of this study prove that farming in the research location is feasible.
