ABSTRACT

One of the indicators of farming sustainability can be studied from its economic sustainability. In the city of Tarakan, mustard green is the largest type of vegetable produced compared to other vegetables. Meanwhile, leek is a spring onion that has a high price compared to other types of vegetables. The purpose of the study was to analyze the ratio of costs and revenues received by farmers in mustard green and spring onion, and to analyze the magnitude of the production risk. The research was conducted in Kampung Enam Village, Tarakan City. The time of the research was carried out in December 2019. The determination of the number of respondents was carried out by quota sampling by taking as many as 50 respondents. Analysis of the data used is the analysis of the value of the comparison of revenues and costs (R/C ratio). For risk analysis using variance, standard deviation, and coefficient variation. The results showed that the value of the R/C ratio of the mustard green farming was 1.06, which was lower than the R/C ratio of the spring onion of 1.26. The value of the coefficient of variation in mustard farming (0.43) and spring onion farming (0.68) is smaller than 1 which indicates that the production risk of mustard green and spring onion farming has a small risk. The sources of production risk from mustard and spring onion are due to changes in weather, pests and diseases. Alternatives to minimize risk can be done by plant diversification or intercropping.

Key words : coefficient of variation, production risk, R/C ratio
