Abstract

This study aims to analyze farm income and assess the economic feasibility of cabbage farming in Magelang Regency, Indonesia. The research involved 120 farmers selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. The study employed farm income analysis, including total cost, total revenue, R/C ratio, a nd break-even point (BEP). The results show that cabbage farming is economically feasible, with an average income of IDR 10,564,641.81 per planting season on a land area of 3,402 m². The R/C ratio is 1.18, indicating profitability. The BEP analysis shows a production level of 3,472.60 kg and a price of IDR 2,588.53, suggesting that farming remains viable above these thresholds. These findings provide useful information for farmers and policymakers to improve input allocation and develop strategies for enhancing the profitability and sustainability of cabbage farming.
