Abstract

ABSTRAK : Nilam merupakan komoditas perkebunan yang banyak dibudidayakan oleh para petani, terutama karena harganya yang relatif tinggi, yaitu sekitar Rp. 450.000 per kilogram. Kondisi ini mendorong masyarakat untuk mengembangkan budidaya nilam sebagai salah satu sumber penghasilan rumah tangga. Kontribusi usahatani menjadi indikator penting untuk mengukur sejauh mana usaha tani nilam mampu memberikan pengaruh pada pendapatan keluarga petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kelayakan usaha tani nilam serta menentukan seberapa besar kontribusi usaha tersebut terhadap pendapatan keluarga petani di Kecamatan Batudaka. Penelitian ini dilakukan dari bulan Juli hingga September 2022 di Kecamatan Batudaka, Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una, dengan populasi penelitian terdiri dari 80 petani di Desa Molowagu dan Desa Kambutu yang menjalankan usaha tani nilam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa usaha tani nilam di wilayah ini layak untuk dikembangkan dan memiliki potensi sebagai sumber penghasilan keluarga. Kontribusi usaha tani nilam terhadap pendapatan bulanan keluarga tercatat sebesar 76% atau Rp. 1.381.168, meskipun angka ini masih di bawah Upah Minimum Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una sebesar Rp. 2.390.739, sementara pendapatan dari kegiatan non-usaha tani menyumbang 24% atau Rp. 436.250. Data ini mengindikasikan bahwa usaha tani nilam memiliki kontribusi signifikan terhadap pendapatan keluarga petani di Kecamatan Batudaka. ABSTRACT: Patchouli is a plantation commodity that is widely cultivated by farmers, especially because the price is relatively high, which is around IDR 450,000 per kilogram. This condition encourages people to develop patchouli cultivation as a source of household income. The contribution of farming is an important indicator to measure the extent to which patchouli farming is able to influence the income of farmer families. This study aims to assess the feasibility of patchouli farming and determine how much the business contributes to the income of farmer families in Batudaka District. This study was conducted from July to September 2022 in Batudaka District, Tojo Una-Una Regency, with a study population consisting of 80 farmers in Molowagu Village and Kambutu Village who run patchouli farming businesses. The results of the study showed that patchouli farming in this area is feasible to be developed and has the potential as a source of family income. The contribution of patchouli farming to monthly family income was recorded at 76% or IDR 1,381,168, although this figure is still below the Tojo Una-Una Regency Minimum Wage of IDR. 2,390,739, while income from non-farming activities contributed 24% or Rp. 436,250. This data indicates that patchouli farming has a significant contribution to the income of farming families in Batudaka District.
