Abstract

Rice productivity can be increased by using certified rice seeds, but the availability is still an obstacle for farmers, especially from information and prices. Therefore, The Center for Agrotechnology Innovation, Universitas Gadjah Mada (PIAT UGM) develops certified rice seeds so that the supply of seeds in the market will be increased and an expectation for a decrease in the price of seeds. PIAT UGM also has a close relationship with farmers in the form of cooperation. Thus, socialization related to certified rice seeds will be easier to inform farmers. Developing certified rice seeds is a commercial business, so it is necessary to research related to its economic sustainability. This study aims to determine the productivity, profitability, and financial return of the PIAT UGM in certified rice farming. The method that was used in this research is descriptive analysis by comparing the productivity, profitability, and financial return of PIAT certified rice with other lines and varieties. The results showed that the productivity, profitability, and financial return of PIAT certified rice seeds were higher than other lines and varieties. So that PIAT UGM certified rice farming is economically sustainable.
