ANALISIS FINANSIAL USAHA LEBAH MADU Apis mellifera L.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out information on financial feasibility of the Apis mellifera L. honey bee enterprises. The method used was a description through a case study in the form of document analysis (desk study) by collecting data from three companies in West Java. Results showed that the average value of honey production was 14.38-30.62/kg/colony/year with the basic production price of Rp 7,190.-Rp 20,500.-/kg honey, the basic selling price of Rp 8,040.-Rp 25,600.-/kg honey and the selling price of Rp 13,500.-Rp 33,000,-/kg honey. The total honey produced at the break event point was 1,230-6,459 kg and if it was converted into the total colonies were 84-240 colonies in which the total honey bee selling price at the break event point was Rp 37,594,000.-Rp 84,214,000.-. These values were higher than those at the break event point meaning that they were profitable. The benefit cost (B/C) ratio was 1.0-1.39 at the level of 10 percent. The payback period of the invested fund could be gained entirely was 41-58 months from the maximum proposed period of 60 months. The maximum internal rate of return that can be paid by Apis mellifera L. honey bee enterprise was 10.2-75%. The net present value (NPV) at 10 percent discont level was Rp 218,900.-Rp 228,945,600,-. These results suggested that Apis mellifera L. honey bee enterprises were feasible as the production was higher than that at the break event point, the B/C ratio was greater than one, the maximum interest level that can be paid was higher than the bank interest, the net present value at 10 percent discont level was positive and the payback period of the invested fund was shorter than the maximum proposed period.
