ANALISIS KELAYAKAN TUMPANGSARI USAHATANI TANAMAN SELADA ROMAINE, LETTUCE HEAD DAN SELADA KERITING DI KOPERASI AGROMANDIRI DESA CIKOLE BANDUNG BARAT

Introduction

Analisis kelayakan tumpangsari usahatani tanaman selada romaine, lettuce head dan selada keriting di koperasi agromandiri desa cikole bandung barat. Analisis kelayakan usahatani tumpangsari selada romaine, lettuce head, & selada keriting di Koperasi Agromandiri, Bandung Barat. Studi ini menunjukkan hasil R/C Ratio positif, membuktikan usaha tersebut layak diusahakan.

Abstract

Koperasi agromandiri merupakan salah satu lembaga yang bergerak dibidang pertanian dengan fokus utama yaitu komoditi hortikultura. Permasalahan yang saat ini dihadapi yaitu terjadi penurunan harga yang relatif besar pada bulan oktober hingga november 2024 sehingga berdampak pada pendapatan yang diperoleh. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui besaran pendapatan dan kelayakan yang diperoleh Koperasi Agromandiri. Menggunakan jenis penelitian partisipatif atau participatory research dengan metode Analisis pendapatan dan kelayakan. Berdasarkan hasil R/C Ratio usahatani tumpangsari selada romaine, lettuce head, dan selada keriting layak diusahakan, dapat dilihat dari nilai R/C rasio pada komoditi romaine sebesar 1,13, lettuce head sebesar 1,14, dan selada keriting sebesar 2,15, dengan total R/C Ratio sebesar 1,21, hasil usahatani menunjukkan layak diusahakan.

Review

This study, titled "ANALISIS KELAYAKAN TUMPANGSARI USAHATANI TANAMAN SELADA ROMAINE, LETTUCE HEAD DAN SELADA KERITING DI KOPERASI AGROMANDIRI DESA CIKOLE BANDUNG BARAT," addresses a highly relevant issue for agricultural cooperatives, specifically the Agromandiri Cooperative, concerning the economic impact of market price fluctuations. The research effectively identifies a problem of significant price drops affecting income and sets out to determine the income generated and the economic feasibility of intercropping Romaine lettuce, head lettuce, and curly lettuce. The core finding, that this intercropping system is viable, offers a practical and actionable solution for the cooperative to enhance its profitability and resilience against market volatility. A significant strength of this research lies in its direct application to real-world agricultural challenges and its use of a clear, quantitative analytical approach. The application of "participatory research" methods, combined with a focused income and feasibility analysis using the R/C Ratio, provides a robust framework for assessing the farm enterprise. The abstract effectively presents key quantitative results, showcasing specific R/C ratios for each lettuce variety (Romaine: 1.13, Head Lettuce: 1.14, Curly Lettuce: 2.15) and an overall R/C Ratio of 1.21. These figures clearly demonstrate the economic viability and profitability of the intercropping system, directly supporting the study's conclusion that the farming operation is worth pursuing. While the abstract provides a strong overview, a more comprehensive full paper would benefit from elaborating on several critical details to maximize its impact. Further insight into the specific market dynamics that led to the reported price decline in October-November 2024 would provide valuable context. Additionally, a detailed description of how the "participatory research" was conducted, including stakeholder involvement and data collection methods, would enhance methodological transparency. Finally, a more granular breakdown of the cost and revenue components underpinning the R/C Ratio calculations, along with a discussion of potential sensitivities or risks given the market's volatility, would further strengthen the analytical depth and practical applicability of the findings. Despite these potential areas for expansion, the research offers a valuable contribution to understanding sustainable and profitable farming practices within cooperative structures.
