Abstract

Semi-organic rice farming is an environmentally friendly approach that aims to replacechemical pesticides with organic alternatives and gradually reduce chemical fertilizers in favor oforganic farming. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and performance of semi-organic ricefarming in Seputih Raman District, Central Lampung Regency. The farm performance indicators usedare farm income, R/C ratio, production BEP, and price BEP. The research was carried out fromSeptember to October 2024. A total of 40 farmers participated as respondents in this study, selectedusing the census method. Data analysis methods include quantitative descriptive analysis, income,R/C ratio, production BEP, and price BEP. The results showed that the majority of farmers were ofproductive age, had primary and secondary education, 5-10 years of experience, and managed anaverage of 0.34 hectares of land. Farming practices involve reducing urea fertilizer by 18% and NPKPhonska by 40% of the recommended dose, while applying 20 liters/ha of organic pesticide. Thiscondition is reinforced by the price of semi-organic harvested dry grain (GKP), which is IDR 500/kghigher than conventional GKP, thus increasing the bargaining position and income of farmers. Semiorganic rice farming generates income on cash costs of IDR 27,190,788/ha with a return on capita(R/C) value of 3.97, and income on total costs of IDR 17,980,936/ha with an R/C value of 1.98. Theproduction BEP value was 2,887 kg/ha, and the price BEP was IDR 3,238/kg. This study concludesthat semi-organic rice farming possesses supportive characteristics and demonstrates positivefarming performance. The implication is that institutional strengthening and policy support are neededto promote wider adoption of this system.
