Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Central Sulawesi Indonesia has a large area of dryland. One commodity that can be planted in dryland area is shallot. There are local varieties of shallot which farmers in Central Sulawesi used to plant. Even though it can be planted in the dry area, the availability of water need to be a consideration for developing local shallot become sustainable. The profitability is one of parameters for the sustainability of a business. The study aimed to analyze the input uses and measure the profitability of local shallot farms under three watering systems in Central Sulawesi namely: rain fed, canal, and sprinkler. Conducted in 2017, the study covered the districts of Sigi and Donggala, and had 285 small hold farmer-respondents. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to determine significant differences in the 285 mean levels of input use and the profitability of local shallot farms in three watering systems. Profitability analysis and computations included cost and return analysis and break-even price. The highest productivity and profitability was reached by farms in sprinkler watering system, followed by canal and rain fed systems with net revenues per hectare are 39,841,648 IDR; 28,641,645 IDR; 15,611,254 IDR respectively
