The feasibility of environmentally friendly and conventional shallot farming in Bantul Regency

Abstract

This study analyses the differences in costs, profit, and feasibility of environmentally friendly and conventional shallot farming in Bantul Regency. Data were collected from 128 farmers taken by cluster sampling and analyzed quantitatively using profit analysis and R/C ratio. The results showed that the total production cost of environmentally friendly shallot farming was 12.29% higher than conventional shallot farming, but conventional shallot farming had a higher profit of 41.94%. Both environmentally friendly and conventional farming is feasible, but the R/C ratio of conventional shallot farming is higher by 0.7.
