<![CDATA[Reuleung Geuleumpang Village, located in Kuta Malaka Subdistrict, Aceh Besar District, is one of the areas that has cultivated Mustajab rice variety for the past two years. This study aims to analyze the economic feasibility and technical efficiency of Mustajab rice farming in the village. The method used is a survey involving 37 farmer respondents, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed using income analysis, R/C ratio, and the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results show that Mustajab rice farming generates an average income of IDR 13,331,270 per planting season. The R/C ratio of 4.75 indicates that the farming is economically feasible, as every IDR 1 of production cost yields IDR 4.75 in revenue. The RTS value of 0.847 indicates constant decreasing returns. Additional input increase won't result in proportional output increase, so the farming is not technically efficient. Factors such as land area, seed quantity, fertilizers, pesticides, and labor significantly affect production. Mustajab rice farming is feasible and profitable in R/C ratio but not technically efficient due to soil pH (8-9) in the study area, while Mustajab variety is designed for low pH. Mac bean supports this finding. Further research is necessary to optimize farming results.]]>
