The demand for soybeans always rises in line with population growth. Domestic soybean productivity has not increased in tandem with rising demand. Soybean productivity in Banyumas Regency has reached only 80 percent of Indonesia’s soybean productivity. The research objectives were to analyze: 1) the feasibility of soybean cultivation, 2) factors affecting soybean production, and 3) the degree of efficiency in using soybean production factors. The research method used is survey. The research was conducted in Banyumas Regency from August to October 2022. The sampling technique used simple cluster sampling and selected 80 out of 1050 farmers. The data used is soybean production data for the 2021 planting season. The data analysis method used is the relationship between costs and revenues, the Cobb Douglas production function, and the Cobb Douglas economy. The findings revealed that: 1) agriculture is feasible because it has a positive profit value and more than one R/C; 2) land area, seeds, fertiliser, and labour have a significant impact on soybean production, whereas pesticides have no significant impact; and 3) the use of land, seeds, fertiliser, and labour inputs in soybean cultivation is inefficient when the BKM-NPM ratio is more signifivant than one.
