Abstract

This research aims to; (1) determine the level of income of cassava farming in Central Lampung Regency, (2) identify sources of farming risk in Central Lampung Regency and (3) determine the level of risk of cassava farming in Central Lampung Regency. Central Lampung Regency was chosen as the research location with the consideration that the district is the center of cassava production in Lampung Province. A total of 60 respondents were taken using a stratified simple random sampling method. Primary data were collected through direct interviews with farmers. Farming risk analysis uses the formula of standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and lower limit. The results showed that cassava farming in Central Lampung Regency was profitable with an R/C value against total costs of 1.99. Production risk in cassava farming as much as 58.06% is due to low / decreased production yields. Price risk in cassava farming is 37.50% due to limited capital and high production costs. The income risk in cassava farming is 87.50% due to fluctuating prices. Cassava farming in Central Lampung Regency has a coefficient of variation < 0.5 and a lower limit value > 0 indicating that cassava farming in Central Lampung Regency has a low level of risk. This conclusion indicates that Central Lampung cassava farming activities should be developed.
