Agribusiness Performance of Shallot Farm In Brebes Regency

Abstract

In Brebes Regency, shallots are a promising product, however growers frequently experience unpredictable revenue and productivity. This has an impact on the performance of the agricultural sector by causing price fluctuations in shallot input and production. The goal of this study was to evaluate the shallot agribusiness system’s effectiveness in terms of agribusiness implementation, production-influencing factors, and financial profitability of the shallot farm. In this study, 60 shallot farmers from the districts of Brebes and Bulukamba participated in a survey. Regression analysis, shallot farm profitability, and study of the agribusiness implementation system are all used to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that farmers had implemented shallot agribusiness with moderate to excellent criteria, and that the agribusiness application had an impact on shallot production. The average land tenure is 0.49 ha, with a 5,265 kg productivity that has room to grow. Land, seed, Ponska, ZA, SP36, pesticides, and the development of agribusiness are the elements that affect shallot production. The shallot farm’s production costs are IDR 26,723,592 and its income is IDR 40,931,650, meaning that the farm is 153.15% profitable. This demonstrates that the shallot agribusiness is a successful one. As a suggestion, farmers should continue to use agribusiness systems properly in order to boost shallot productivity and profitability.
