Abstract

This study aims to: (1) estimate the income and profits, and (2) assess the feasibility of vegetable farming in urban agriculture in Surakarta. The data were generated from 30 respondents. The method that being used in this study are descriptive analytic, R/C Ratio, B/C Ratio, and breakeven point (BEP). With respect to profitability, the result shows that the highest average income and profit is green mustards. The average income of red chili is higher than chili pepper. Chili pepper gives a higher profit than red chili. The study found that the chosen commodities gives feasible outcome. In terms of feasibility, the R/C ratio of chili pepper is the highest followed by red chili and green mustard. However, green mustard is the highest in breakeven point (BEP) on production followed by chili pepper and red chili. For the BEP on revenue, the highest is green mustard, followed by chili pepper and red chili. While the highest of BEP on price is red chili, followed by green mustard and chili pepper. The study suggests green mustard as the most recommended crop for urban agriculture practice.
