Abstract

Urban farming has emerged as a strategic response to the challenges of land scarcity and food security in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the financial performance and internal marketing value of shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) agribusiness cultivated hydroponically using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and Deep Flow Technique (DFT) systems across two planting cycles. Conducted as a case study at P4S Galih Jaya, the research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, combining direct observation, financial documentation review, and structured stakeholder interviews. Key metrics, production output, net income, Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio, and Break-Even Point (BEP), were calculated using standard agribusiness financial formulas. Internal marketing indicators, including employee understanding, decision alignment, and motivation, were assessed through pre- and post-cycle surveys and integrated into participatory training sessions. Results indicated that the DFT system in cycle 2 yielded the highest net income (IDR 2,036,725) and B/C ratio (3.6), while the NFT system in cycle 1 incurred a financial loss (IDR -10,155) with a B/C ratio of 0.9. These findings were embedded into internal communication tools and stakeholder training sessions to foster data-driven decision-making. Internal marketing indicators showed marked improvement between periods, demonstrating the strategic value of integrating financial literacy into agribusiness operations. The study concludes that the selection of a hydroponic system not only affects profitability but also internal stakeholder engagement. The comparative study framework offers a replicable model for urban farmers seeking to align technical performance with internal adoption and strategic planning. Further research is recommended across successive planting periods to assess long-term viability and deepen internal marketing impact.

Abstract

Hydroponic golden melon agritourism can transform horticultural production into an educational visitor experience; however, its development requires clear priorities when production, infrastructure, marketing, and institutional resources are limited. This study prioritized development strategies for Kebon Ayu, West Lombok, using an exploratory sequential design integrating SWOT analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Field observations and semi-structured interviews with 30 purposively selected stakeholders were used to consolidate 20 strategic factors. Pairwise comparisons generated local and global AHP weights, which were linked to eight TOWS strategies and tested through 10,000 Monte Carlo perturbations. Strengths received the highest group weight (0.495), followed by opportunities (0.310), weaknesses (0.134), and threats (0.061). The factor representing product quality and the hydroponic cultivation system received the highest global weight (0.1881). Experiential education and golden-melon picking ranked first (0.5290), ahead of integrated destination development (0.4116) and climate-adaptive cultivation (0.4046), and remained first in 100% of simulations. The findings support visitor experience as the development anchor while destination readiness and production resilience advance in parallel, providing a transparent basis for phased investment and stakeholder coordination.
