The risk of Arabica coffee farming in Enrekang Regency, South of Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to determine the risks faced by Arabica coffee farmers and the factors that influence them. The site selection was carried out by purposive sampling, and two villages were selected in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. The sample size of the study was 100 farmers, taken by random sampling and using the interview method and field visits. The results of the study using the coefficient of variance showed that the average value variability in the risk of Arabica coffee production was 0.407 or 40.7%. Factors that influence production risk are estimated by the Least Square Method, and the results show that the production factors of Urea and SP36 fertilizers are risk inducing, while KCl fertilizer and manure are risk reducing. The price of urea fertilizer and the price of pesticides are risk inducing.
