Feasibility Based on Production Patterns by Home Industries in Hargotirto, Kokap, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta

Abstract

This study aims to determine the pattern of coconut sugar production and compare the income and business feasibility of each production pattern. Utilizing proportionate stratified random sampling, 90 respondents of industrialists were gathered. There are three production patterns coconut sugar home industry: pattern (1) processing the formed coconut sugar (60 home industry), pattern (2) processing the brown sugar (21 home industry), and pattern (3) processing formed coconut sugar into brown sugar (9 home industry). The average income of pattern (1) IDR 695,010 per month, pattern (2) IDR 787,745 per month, and pattern (3) IDR 2,326,578 per month. The values of business feasibility based on R/C were: pattern (1) 1.001; pattern (2) 1.057 and pattern (3) 1.056. Business feasibility based on capital productivity obtained pattern (1) 187.7%, pattern (2) 152.4%, and pattern (3) 6.2%. Business feasibility based on labor productivity per (man days) was: pattern (1) IDR 65,569, pattern (2) 67,820 IDR,and pattern (3) 290,289 IDR. The results of study revealed that the most preferred production pattern was pattern (1) processing to formed coconut sugar. The three production patterns were feasible (R/C> 1). Pattern (3), processing formed coconut sugar into the brown sugar, was the most productive.
