Abstract

Horticulture is one of the agricultural sub-sectors with excellent potential to develop in Indonesia. Horticulture includes vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants, and ornamental plants. Along with the development of agricultural technology, horticultural crops can be cultivated with a hydroponic system. The hydroponic system or soilless culture is a way of cultivating plants using a solution medium. Hydroponic systems are proliferating for cultivating horticultural vegetables due to the increasing demand for quality vegetables. Vegetables cultivated using the hydroponic system are fresher and cleaner, so they have better quality than conventional vegetables. The reason is that plant roots are not in direct contact with the soil. One of the agribusiness companies that cultivate vegetables with a hydroponic system is Wangunsari Farm Hydroponics (WFH). WFH is in Lembang District, West Bandung Regency, West Java Province. WFH plans to cultivate Redoakleaf Lettuce vegetables and establish a Kale Crunch business to increase income. This study aims to analyze the financial aspects of cultivating RedOakleaf Lettuce and establishing a Kale Crunch business, and determining which business is a priority to be carried out first. The analytical method used is descriptive graphics, quantitative tabulation, and counting Net Present Value (NPV), Gross B/C, Net B/C, Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period. Based on the financial feasibility calculations, it is concluded that both businesses are feasible for increasing WFH income. However, the Kale Crunch business has become a priority before cultivating the Red Oakleaf Lettuce vegetable because it has a value NPV IDR 27,149,410, Net B/C 4.1, Gross B/C>1 1.1, IRR>DR is 95% where DR is 3.5% and the payback period is two years where the business life is five years. Horticultural agribusiness supports the eighth Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Cricket farming in Indonesia, particularly in Pamulang, South Tangerang City, has seen significant growth. However, productivity is often hampered by a lack of effective environmental monitoring, particularly regarding temperature, humidity, and lighting. This research aims to develop an innovative strategy to increase cricket farming productivity through the application of digital environmental monitoring technology. This tool is used to read environmental conditions in real time, allowing farmers to intervene or maintain optimal environmental conditions for cricket growth and development. The method in this research is a qualitative method with case studies, while data collection is done by surveys, interviews, direct observation, and analysis of data recorded from environmental monitoring tools consisting of temperature, humidity, room lighting, and focus group discussions (FGD). The results of the study show that environmental monitoring was carried out at 3 points, namely the middle, east and west of the cage, as well as three measurement times, namely morning, noon, and evening with a sampling of 30 measurements, found non-ideal conditions, namely air temperature ranging from 29.70°C - 34.10°C and lighting ranging from 25.1 Lux - 217 Lux, while humidity is still in the ideal category ranging from 60% - 70%, but with environmental monitoring the conditions can be immediately addressed and become ideal. From these results, it can increase cricket productivity by 15%, this is also supported by the results of interviews with cricket farmers. The impact of this research can contribute to cricket farmers, especially in Pamulang and Indonesia in general in increasing cricket productivity by using environmental monitoring tools, while for researchers it can be more innovative and technology-based integrated in subsequent research.
