Abstract
The composition of sugar cane varieties which planted are not balanced especially in the nursery sector that caused the efficiency of the sugar industry on national scale low. This condition happens because there are risks faced by farmers in determining the varieties of sugarcane that will be planted. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk of production and strategies to overcome the risks due to the selection of sugar cane varieties. Samples used in the study were 30 people (12 sugarcane farmers, 6 managers, and assistant plant managers, and 12 people from APTR / KPTR. Data were analyzed using the method of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Research Results indicate that the risks classified as very high categories that can be caused by the selection of certain sugar cane varieties are production risk, sugar quality risk and sugar price-output risk Risk management that can be applied to reduce the risk due to variety selection is to use superior varieties, the development of new varieties which has high productivity, increase cultivation technology by farmers, and unloads ratoon after 2 times harvesting.
Highlights
Nowadays, national sugar consumption reaches 5.8 million tons, and it will increase to 6.6 million tons - 7.0 million tons in the 5 years
Direct consumption needs for household consumers are currently estimated at 3.0 million tons of sugar cane with white crystal (GKP) and the rest is consumption needs for industries that are met from refined crystal sugar (GKR) [1]
Given that the national sugar industry is concerned with meeting the people's basic food needs, the livelihoods of many people and the stability of the national economy, it becomes important to be dealt with as well as possible
Summary
National sugar consumption reaches 5.8 million tons, and it will increase to 6.6 million tons - 7.0 million tons in the 5 years. Of the total sugar production, around 1.45 million tons are produced by sugar BUMN, and the remainder by BUMS (private) [1] Faced with this situation, given that the national sugar industry is concerned with meeting the people's basic food needs, the livelihoods of many people and the stability of the national economy, it becomes important to be dealt with as well as possible. The selection of certain varieties by farmers will have implications for the production of sugar cane produced. The novelty of this research is the risks analyzed include production risk, quality risk and income of farmers associated with the selection of sugar cane varieties and the end of the discussion discussed the risk management of sugarcane farming
