<![CDATA[Purpose – This study describes farm-budget outcomes and separately reported environmental indicators associated with chili cultivation in Gunung Kerinci District, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach – A descriptive quantitative assessment used 15 purposively selected 0.5-ha farm records for one cropping season and six independent site-level environmental records. Production costs and revenue were reconciled arithmetically, and the environmental values were summarized without imputing missing inventories or linking sites to particular farms. Findings/Results – The mean recorded farm cost was IDR 14,385,000 and gross revenue was IDR 23,040,000, yielding a mean accounting surplus of IDR 8,655,000 and a mean revenue-to-recorded-cost ratio of approximately 1.60. The six site records reported mean carbon and water indicators of 2.65 t CO₂-eq/ha and 3,300 m³/ha, respectively; their measurement basis was not sufficiently documented to confirm a complete LCA. Originality/Value – The analysis juxtaposes local farm budgets and environmental indicators while distinguishing supported descriptive conclusions from untested causal trade-offs. Its principal implication is the need for linked farm-level economic and environmental monitoring.]]>
