The use of production inputs on African catfish hatchery business can cause production risks also can reduce production risks. This study aims to analyze the effect of production inputs cause on production risks faced by African catfish hatchery cultivators in Joho Village, Wates, Kediri. This study took 30 respondents conducted by snowball sampling and the data analysis method used Cobb-Douglas model. Data processing tools used Microsoft Excel 2016 and R-Studio 4.0.1 statistical software. The results showed production inputs of artificial feed, broodstock, and drugs significantly affect productivity. Increased of broodstock significantly decreases production risk, and increased of medicines significantly increase production risk. The policy recommendations of this study are limiting the use of production inputs that could pose production risk, and good fish farming implementation methode based on the policy of Directorate General of Aquaculture (DJPB).
