<![CDATA[Tobacco farming is an important source of income for rural households in Demak Regency, Central Java. Despite its economic significance, empirical information regarding the economic feasibility of tobacco farming at the village level remains limited, particularly in Kalitengah Village, one of the local production centers. This study aimed to analyze production costs, revenue, income, and the economic feasibility of tobacco farming in Kalitengah Village, Mranggen District, Demak Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using primary data collected from 52 tobacco farmers selected through accidental sampling. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using cost analysis, revenue analysis, income analysis, and the Revenue-Cost Ratio (R/C). The results showed that the average production cost was IDR 5,888,283 per 0.39 ha per planting season, while the average revenue reached IDR 11,618,375, generating an average income of IDR 5,730,092. The calculated R/C ratio was 1.97, indicating that every IDR 1.00 spent on production generated IDR 1.97 in revenue. Since the R/C ratio exceeded one, tobacco farming in Kalitengah Village was economically feasible and provided positive returns for farmers.]]>
