... Changes from manual machinery application technology were analyzed using the MBCR, which is defined as the additional revenue obtained from each additional 1-unit cost due to changes from existing to new technology. MBCR is calculated using the following formula [38]: A specific strategy for developing agricultural machinery was developed by analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOTs). In general, SWOT analysis is a method for strategic planning that evaluates each business development's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats [39,40]. ...
In the agricultural sector, labor reduction is a significant obstacle to increasing potato production and the use of machinery is considered an effective solution. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential and profitability of implementing agricultural machinery and develop a specific strategy in Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out from September 2021 to April 2022, and the demonstration farming (demfarm) method was used to test three technology package, with and without agricultural machinery and with existing technology as a control. The study also surveyed farmer characteristics, use the demfarm method, and conducted focus group discussion on internal and external indicators influencing agricultural machinery development. Data analysis included the benefit-cost ratio (BCR), marginal BCR, and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). The results showed that the development of agricultural machinery for potato cultivation was highly profitable, with a BCR of 1.28, suggesting that the development of agricultural machinery is worthwhile. The agricultural machinery technology demonstrated the best performance among the three packages studied. Based on the results, the policy strategy to support the sustainability of potato farming in Central Java involves the application of efficient agricultural technology by optimizing land availability, involving farmer institutions, and the use of agricultural machinery.

The results showed that: (1) All processed products: dodol, syrup, jam, candy, and soap deserve to be developed with their respective revenue-cost ratio values of 1.2581, 1.4814, 1.2798, 1.8122, and 1.2142; (2) BEP revenue (Rp) for each product: dodol, syrup, jam, candy, and soap, respectively: 14,786.00; 11,131.13; 12,890.15; 6,451.28; and 16,065.51; while BEP production (units) of each dodol product, syrup, candy, jam, and soap in a row: 0.161; 0.696; 0.4297; 0.08; and 0.5354; while BEP price (Rp/unit) of dodol, syrup, candy, jam, and soap products, respectively: 91,838.51; 15,993.00; 29,998.02; 80,641.00; and 29,750.94; (3) Dodol is a product that is prioritized in its development. Dodol product development is prioritized by paying more attention to product quality. Future research will address economic viability in greater depth, market dynamics, potential risks, and scalability. Further research involves partnerships between micro, small, and medium enterprises, collaborating with food experts, health experts, and tourism experts.
... Furthermore, it was found that shallot bulbs grown from TSS contained fewer viruses and seed-borne fungi than shallot bulbs produced from bulbs [18], and no viruses commonly attacking shallot were found in the shallot leaves grown from TSS [19]. In Indonesia, the potential for TSS development from several studies conducted by Sahara et al., Sutardi et al., and Rahayu et al. [20][21][22] is very promising. However, some obstacles related to the inefficient production of nursery techniques must be solved [23]. ...
One of the important factors in the success of True Seed of Shallot (TSS)-based shallot production is the right seeding technology. The study aimed to obtain appropriate nursery techniques for producing high-quality seedlings to increase shallot productivity. The experiment was conducted in Cirebon Regency, West Java, Indonesia, from May to October 2021, using a factorial randomized block design with three treatment factors and three replications. They consisted of shallot varieties (V) (Trisula, Bima, Lokananta, and Maserati); seedlings age (U) (45 and 60 days); and seedling population density (P) (5, 7.5, and 10 g m −2 of TSS). The results revealed that seedling performance was negatively correlated to the bulb yield and revenue cost ratio (R/C). The use of young seedlings enhanced bulb production and R/C ratio in all varieties but had varied effects on cluster alterations in Maserati, Bima, and Trisula varieties. Young Lokananta seedlings prepared in the nursery at a seed density of 7.5 g m −2 proved to be the best treatment to generate the highest bulb production (39.92 t ha −1) and the highest R/C (3.62). Farmers are expected to implement seedling preparation techniques using young seedlings and managing seed populations in diverse varieties to maximize bulb production and R/C.
... Menurut Darma et al. (2015) jarak tanam berpengaruh terhadap produksi bawang merah.
