Abstract

Bomberay and Tomage Districts are one of the horticultural crops producing areas in Fakfak Regency, West Papua. The type of horticulture cultivated by farmers is land water spinach. Land water spinach is distributed to several markets in this area and urban areas of Fakfak Regency. Harvesting of land water spinach is carried out routinely or periodically. However, farmers have several obstacles, namely the location of the land close to swamps, expensive fertilizer prices, and cheap selling prices so that farmers’ income is low and their expenses are large. Apart from that, farmers’ lack of knowledge about farming is also a problem that causes farmers’ welfare to be achieved in farming. This research aims to determine the costs incurred by farming businesses, income, and income levels from land kale farming businesses in the Bomberay and Tomage Districts. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive research. The sampling technique used the census method with 30 respondents. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire. The results of the research that has been carried out are that the average income per year is IDR 7,480,454.-. The average costs incurred by water spinach farming businesses in the Bomberay and Tomage Districts in one year is IDR 16,338,213.-. The income level of the land kale farming business in the Bomberay and Tomage Districts from the ratio value (R/C Ratio) is 1.45, which means that the land water spinach farming business in the Bomberay and Tomage Districts is feasible to develop.
