Abstract

Gunungkidul Regency is one of the districts that developed dry land red rice farming. Semin and Panggang sub-districts are sub-districts that develop red rice varieties at Inpari 24 and Segreng. This study aims to determine the costs, income, profits, and feasibility of dry land red rice farming of Segreng variety and Inpari 24 variety in Gunungkidul Regency. The number of respondents in this study were 250 respondents using the Simple Random Sampling technique, consisting of 150 respondents from Inpari 24 red rice farmers and 100 respondents from Segreng red rice farmers. Data was collected through survey which were then analyzed descriptively and feasibility analysis using the Revenue Cost ratio. The results showed that red rice farming with a land area of 1000 m2 on the Inpari 24 variety required a higher cost of IDR 2,353,064, Inpari 24 red rice earned. of IDR 2,935,438 and a profit of IDR 1,398,537. Meanwhile, Segreng red rice earned an income of IDR. 2,157,547 and a profit of IDR. 913,428. The R/C value for Inpari 24 red rice farming is 1.59 and Segreng red rice is 1.45. Inpari 24 red rice farming, although classified as irrigated rice, can also adapt to rainfed dry land so that it can be taken into consideration for dry land farmers in choosing seed varieties.
